Gary;
Is it possible...yes. My opinion is not to destroy those wonderful chokes on those guns. Get comfortable shooting tight chokes and I promise you you'll grow to love them. Parker chokes, in my humble opinion, are the most unique part of those guns. Just keep in mind that once you remove that metal from those 100 or so year old barrels it's gone for good. The barrel man at Parker, was to me, more important than the engraver. It's your gun of course but remember that you are only taking care of it for a short time. Just my 2 cents.

Will your family miss any meals if you miss a few extra sporting clays birds? My friends think I'm a great shot because I shoot average skeet with full choke guns. The truth is, I shoot average skeet with skeet choked guns.

This is a very good point and the chokes alone make each gun unique.
