Default Opening Chokes

To anyone that has opened the chokes on your Repro barrels. Question since they are chrome lined did this present any problems when they were opened up, reamed? I've had a number of barrels opened up, but none with chrome lined barrels.

I had my repro 28" 28ga chokes opened by Mike Orlen several years ago with no problems.

Great, sounds like no one has seen a problem cutting into the Chrome lining.

In these days of non-corrosive primers, what advantage is there for chrome lined barrels?

Why do plastic shot cups influence this? Never heard that before

Plastic shot cups, which have been in use since the 60's, not only tighten patterns by virtually eliminating shot deformation - and bore scoring from the more recent steel shot - so I don't get the need for chrome lined bores either.

I believe chrome lined bores were a solution for steel shot
