Model 31 20ga barrel question

Post by 4065tom »

Howdy, new to this forum, but have a life long love of Remington shotguns 870, 11-48, 1100. My question is how big a screw up is opening a model 31 barrel. My new to me 20ga is full choked, and my plan is to have it opened up to light modified for doves.

Thanks Tom

Full choke seems to be far and away the most common choke found on Model 31s, so opening one up certainly wouldn't hurt my feelings. I find modified, improved cylinder and SKEET more useful to me. Don't have such an issue with my 20-gauge Model 31 as someone long ago put a Cutts Compensator on it!!

Thanks, I thought that might be the case. Just didn't want to alter something I would later regret.

Why not install choke tubes ? The best of all worlds.
What could have happened... did.
