Did they try Teague chokes ?, if they can`t be done why ?
Not doubting you, just want to know why they were told no.
If it comes to the dealer unchoked then I would have to rethink...new barrel ? 500/ 535 version, or heavens forbid a Supernova

Give me a shout if you manage to find some, I'd bite your hand off for one at a reasonable price!

Every avenue?
What about the old skool pre choke tube design of external adjustable choke?
I've got a proprietary Savage one, others were mafe by Lyman/Cutts.
Unit swages/brazes onto open cylinder barrel & adds a few inches to length...plus allows either dial adjustment for different choke or you change the fitted choke using a small tool....
Either option would be an easy job for an RFD (Gunsmith type) to fit in place of the metal conduit that Saddlery & Gunroom added to make the 20" barrel UK legal.
Should have qualified that with "every avenue that wouldn't result in the front of a gun looking like more of a dogs dinner than they already do"
Techincally one could be fitted i suppose but its going to increase the length of the gun, which is far from desirable.

The 'shroud'/barrel extension is wider than the bore of the gun and is much thinner so there is not a lot/no material to work with. They (as would I) want a continuous width/profile barrel, rather than the 'trumpet' shape of the current ones. Removing the shroud to put 'something else' on also requires finding a gunsmith/RFD with S5 (ac) authority, and good luck with that!
A new barrel is the best way to go, but as can be seen from above, getting one over here, or rather getting one over here for a reasonable price is difficult. Hence the excitement when York Guns claimed they would be bringing some over next year.
