IMHO no interchangeable choke patterns as well as a good fixed choke gun.

Citori barrels have to fitted by a gunsmith, pretty pricey. A less intrusive and cheaper option would be to have the full barrel opened up to IC, and leave the Mod as is.

A MOD and I/C will cover 98% of what you'd ever need on the sporting clays course.

How much older? Belgian or japaneese?If it's belgian I'd leave it alone,I've got a Superposed 1962 silver pigeon that sports 30 inch full chokers top and bottom.I'm leaving it alone,I use that one at the bus stop at Sunneydell.So I have my dads older Browning citori that has a fixed choke barrel mod and full how hard is it to thread them for choke tubes and where's a good place to get it done?
if your collecting and its in nice enough shape to be worth something, lock it up and forget about it until the market gets better.
if your planning on using it, use the hell out of it.

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.

i think i know based on the fixed choke set up but knowing what you plan on using it for would be helpful in possibly giving some useful advice.

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.

why did they have to shorten the barrel? did they give you a reason as to why or just say thats what had to be done?

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
on a side note, i really like extended chokes; no wrench required to swap them out and no guessing at what choke i have in simply look at the muzzle

Mike Orlen is MUCH cheaper than briley. he has a fast turn around time and one hell of a great reputation online and off. if you are a member of shotgun world he will give you 20% off your order making his service a fantastic value.
