I would have to respectfully disagree with this statement Bill. I believe the Q1 & Q2 chokes will always sell for a higher price than IC & Mod. The great majority of the 28 inch barrel guns have Mod & Full chokes which to me are worthless so you have to send them out and either have the chokes altered or screw in chokes installed both of which lower the value of the gun. Now if you can find a 28 gauge with 28 inch barrels with original open chokes then you really have something special. I've owned many 28GA reproduction guns and I've never had a 28" set of barrels with IC & Mod or Q1 & Q2 chokes. I know some exist, but they are few and far between. For grouse, woodcock, or quail hunting I'll take the Q1 & Q2 chokes any day over any other combination in the 28GA guns.
