Chokes

[paul stafford jr]

im with you paul most of these over choked guns aint worth a darn on the vintage skeet I shoot its a lot more fun to shoot them than it is to leave them in the back of the safe because there to tight and it doesn't bother me to open the chokes on higher grade guns, they look just as good and they shoot great. besides its my money and I love shooting old guns that look good.

Paul, I understand and certainly respect your opinion but I guess the bottom line for me is I like tight chokes. Whether I'm shooting clays or bird hunting I like to know that I have enough choke. Most 30" or longer guns, if not most of the guns of that era, did have lots of choke in them because of the lack of protective shot cup and high antimony shot that we now enjoy. I don't care if it's Trojan, a C grade fox or whatever, a gun with long barrels and original tight chokes will bring more money over one that has been reamed. If a gun has already been altered then I would'nt feel bad about doing that to a gun. Bottom line is all those altered guns just make the originals worth more money, regardless of grade or manufacture. By the way, nice shooting in the doubles league. I bet the gas gun / K-80 guys were beside themselves.
