if the choke is that tight, it's too tight. personally that'd tempt me to chop it.. certainly if it's uniformly tight all the way. You could always chop it leaving just a smite of choke in place - should gain a good 40 fps, allowing less spring.
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
