Need different chokes? A built in excuse to buy another gun!!

I kinda gave up on the screw in thing after my gunsmith buddy advised me that damascus barrels are not very receptive to boring and threading .
And that kinda jogged my memory that I happen to have an old LC Smith Field Grade with sleaved barrels done by none other then Westley Richards . They're 26" but handle very nicely . Just gonna have to see how they do with 0 Buck at 25 and 40 yards .
Also have the Sterlingworth IC/M I got early in the summer and an Ithaca Minier I picked up two days ago !
