well - at the current point- you would likely still have some choke - take any more and its gone

and if the rib continues to work loose - you may end up nibbling it back to a nub

but, relaying a whole rib is not cheap

i still think you need to have the gun evaluated by a pro

cutting back a gun you already cannot shoot safely would not do any good, if its safe, and you have nothing in it- see what a proper fix would take

I appreciate you helping with this. Is there anyone around Indianapolis anyone can recommend to take a look at this? I would like to have someone with more experience than me take a look at it and see if it is safe and repairable.
