[QUOTE="technetium-99m, post: 889149, member: 3615"] Shortening is easy, you can do it or take it to a smith. I like the ability to use chokes because it makes the gun more versatile. I think you can buy the tools for threading, but probably better/cheaper if a smith does it. For some reason my 870 shoots rifled slugs far better through a modified choke than an IC or cyl., and I love the uber tight pattern of federal 00 buck through a modified choke as well. On the off chance you ever want to shoot a practical shotgun match the cylinder bore may limit your ability to knock over heavy steel with birdshot. [/QUOTE]
