Thread: choke issues

so I take it,the barrel has been threaded on the piss???? did smith give you price to rethread it shorter??? which would be solution...eg cut off existing thread...which in itself is solution if you dont want choke....slug n buckshot barrel....... rethread shorter barrel and put bead back on....it was common enough back when steel first hit shelves,guys took in there full n fuller fixed choked guns and had them threaded for chokes...gunsmiths must still have the dies to thread barrels.
some people have even been known to get all bubba like and put fixed choke in barrel previously choked and sawn off...and its worked....

Smith said it was most likely threaded on the piss at manufactory and its taken me awhile to notice. I was shooting slugs the day I noticed this issue and using a muzzle break type choke. Smith also said what you said about cutting off threaded muzzle but I'd lose the front sight
