In Mike Orlen's price brochure I have, it is $35 to adjust to more open choke.

It is not really clear on the sheet. I was wondering the same thing. I do remember I sent a set of barrels to open both tubes and to raise a dent. Total cost was $100 - $125 dollars or so. Turnaround was quick - I sent on Monday and got them back on Wednesday. Living in the same state for shipping sure helps!

When Mike did my 16ga the cost was per tube.

Galazan told me they sent these guns to dealers without them ever being choked so the customer could have them set at what they wanted. I wonder if they would have charged the original owner $500 to open the chokes?

C.O.B.,
For what its worth, the .410 requires a reasonable amount of choke to deliver patterns that are dense enough to get the job done. That's true for real or clay targets.
In my youth, i shot a lot of skeet with a .410 with Chokes of .006 and .008. that combination really smoked targets at Skeet distances. If you plan on using the gun for Sporting Clays or real birds, I'd be inclined toward a Modified (.008), Improved Modified (.011) combination. If you end up not liking that combination after using it for a while, you still have enough left to open them some more, if you'd like.
