better to fit a second set of barrels to your gun, so that you have two sets of barrels. one set with tight chokes and the other with open chokes.
If the barrels have been chopped I see no reason not to put in screw ins !

At that point as far as I'm concerned the gun is already F'd !

Incidently I do not think you read the entire post . I want a set of barrels that are in the 20-24 inch range the closer to 20 the better . Just how likely do you think it is that I'm gonna find a set of barrels like that in the first place . Ones that have already been chopped are the way to go here and after I get them to a length to suit me screw in's are ALSO the way to go .

As to the damascus with screw in's my gunsmith buddy says thats a no no that damascus doesn't do well threaded !

I have a pair of Parker 12's a VHE and a VH ,ones a #2 and the others a #3 frame , think I'll see if I can't find a set of barrels to fit one of them that have already been cut and send them to our choke guy somewhere in New England .
