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
