1960 Vintage Savage 20 Gage With 28 inch barrel and polly-choke.
This shotgun is in "as-new" condition. No kidding.
I find the length with polly choke to be difficult to use on anything but out front ducks and maybe long shots at pheasant, never any good trying to swing on dove or close in birds.
Am thinking that someone with excellent gunsmithing capabilities could remove the polly choke and install screw in chokes.
Any recommendations?
Also: Any thoughts on what it might cost.
and would this ruin the value of that gun (I have no idea what it might be worth in today's market, because I hardly ever see any shotguns with polly choke any more.

Briley.
I can't imagine that shotgun has any value beyond a shooter.

I contacted them with my question and was answered in less than 5 minutes. Any business that is so responsive is one I would like to patronize.
