"If I like the fit and feel of the gun, I may ultimately have the chokes opened up to skeet. If the gun were original, I might consider that to be sacrilegious but given the replacement stock, it's probably best to have it optimized for intended use.
Your thoughts or comments are welcome."
I say look, it's your gun, do with it what you will to fulfill your purposes. It would be a different story if it was an honest original higher grade gun, then leave it be. Otherwise, if the gun doesn't fit or suit what you need it to do, then it's not worth having except to flip.
As for the existing chokes, don't be sold on it being choked IC/IC. Unless you also measure bore diameter you really won't know what the chokes are by measuring only the chokes. I always say choke is irrelevant, put the muzzles at the right place and you'll break the clay or kill the bird.
