I have used Carlson's in the past to put chokes on an A5. They did an awesome job. Lost 1.5" on the barrel. Think about this; depending on what you want, Flush chokes or about 1/2" sticking out, (extended). Who ever does it may have to cut off 1" or so to accommodate the new chokes. Do you want to maybe shorten the barrel? With a Japanese barrel I would do the extended choke so that you can use it for STEEL shots as well.

now this is just my personal opinion but if it were me and my gun id send it to briley or any other well known choke maker, nothing against the smaller guys but if you were ever to sell it people in the claysports world like brand name. not trying to sound condescending or take a stab at smaller local smiths but chokes by briley or ports by angel port or adjustable comb by phillip's gunsmithing is just a little more reassuring than work done by a smith ive never heard of, not that that smith doesnt do fine work but i know the larger companies reputations
