That may make a difference to a buyer who wants differing choke selections for these fine pump guns. Also, (double check this too) A good while back I asked a screw-in choke vendor about an installation on one of my early 16 Featherlights. He advised the barrel thickness wasn't sufficient for a drill/tap. Dunno if that is still the case for screw-in installations nowadays. Solved that problem by buying a couple more 16 Featherlights.
