No real advise, just a sad experience. Had a friend who contacted me with a gun that he had the chokes let out from ultra tight to mod. They came back out of round and threw odd oblong patterns with quail sized holes. You could feel with your finger that they were out of round. The only recourse for the gun was to further relieve the chokes to IC and then the muzzles were pretty thin. He sold the Parker, for some people it would have been a good close gun, but for him it was ruined.

I am not a gunsmith, so I cannot comment on the mechanics of what went wrong.

If the barrels pattern well , but the pattern is too sparse, what about some of these Ballistic Products shot cups like the Long Ranger that are supposed to keep the pattern tight? I have not tried them but I have heard they work.
