Also, if you have a gun that has no basis for a letter, or a gun with a letter that doesn't mention chokes, then who's to say the gun you don't want to open the chokes on hasn't already had it done?

I don't think factory letters are always correct when it comes to chokes. I believe changes in production happened after entries in the books were made. Scott Kittredge had a VH 20ga and the letter on the gun said cyl and full if I remember correctly. The gun shot full and full.

Most of the time you can tell by measuring and just looking at the chokes, not many are polished after being opened ,if you see tool marks most likely they have messed with.
