Can chokes be opened by shooting over many years?

Todd, I think with the Trojans they were all choked F/F & F/M and IC/M on the twelves without necessarily adhering to a pellet count.

Tom, I wrap a moderate amount of Frontier pad around a brass brush, attach it to a cleaning rod, chuck it up in a cordless drill, dip it in Hoppe's and go to work on the bores. Frontier Pads will NOT harm the bores at all.

Is that true for just the Trojans Dean? If not, at what grade could one expect to receive a gun along with a functional test, that's papered? Were guns provided with the actual target used to determine pellet count or was a simple notation made somewhere besides the record book (in some cases I suspect)?

Thanks Dean. Do you have to replace the Frontier pad and put new pad on for really bad barrels? In other words, does one stip of pad work for a bad barrel or does it wear out and have to be replaced? Sorry for so many questions Dean, but I've got a set of 10 bore barrels that are pretty bad.
