Default Repro Chokes

Dean;
Thank you for the kind response:
I thought I might hear I had made a terrible mistake, and felt I did not.
I did a lot of agonizing about what to get it re-choked to; but in the back of my mind, remembered asking a whiz at sporting clays what chokes he used:
He said "Improved Cylinder." I asked "What other chokes?" He replied
"No other, Improved Cylinder will kill birds or break targets further than a man can shoot."
So; I tried it with a gun with changeable chokes, and found I couldn't argue with him.
That made my mind up. The Gunsmith who did the resizing frowned when I asked him to do this, then measured the chokes, and said "Oh, my gosh..these are way too tight." "The right barrel is too tight for a 28 gauge, and the left barrel is crazy tight."
He asked why they would have been choked that way, and I said I didn't know.
