28 Gauge Repro

[Big D]

I don't get it. Anyone with a .40 choke in a 28 ga. says it's too tight. Most of those folks want to shóot those guns, not put them in their 401(k). Open them up! If I was in the market, I'd pay a premium for an opened gun

I'm sure you meant .040 and not 40/100ths.

IMHO, it's this sort of phylosophy that has made 100% original Parker Bros. guns so cherished and desirable and as a result so valuable. The same will happen with Parker Repros--mark my words! Yeah, I know you say you're not going to worry about it because you'll be dead. How do you know that you stop worrying when you're dead? I happen to have it on good authority that we indeed still worry after we're gone. It will drive you nuts, you will toss and turn and pound the inside of your coffin as your transgressions of opening those luscious wonderful chokes haunt you into eternity.

Dang... I'm glad I didn't open those barrels up. I already have enough things that will spin me in my grave!

Sam: Maybe a smart idea but I can't claim it as mine; someone advised me to try the spreaders before opening the chokes. The Polywads work so well for me that I don't want to mess with choke mods. In the long run it is certainly cheaper to ream the chokes but if only used for hunting a flat of shells lasts quite a while.
