I've not seen any instances where adding screw-in chokes increased a historic gun's value. They're a breakeven proposition at best. Once the gun has been altered, I would not pay anything more for the alleged restoration. If I were trying to buy the gun as a shooter (and therefore the chokes were a plus) it sounds like my opinion of value and the seller's would be a mile apart. Without pix of the gun, and knowledge of his asking price, I don't think it's possible to give a percentage discount. Good luck
