chokes of a single or double shotgun could easily be rifled
Daryl:
You will need a parallel constricted portion of the choke at least 1 1/2 inches long, preferably 2 inches long, in which to cut the rifling.
Good luck finding an existing full-choked shotgun with such a long choke!
...let alone a 'full-and-full' SxS double with 2-inch chokes!
But if you are really really lucky and find one, the easiest way to cut rifling is to set up a small rotary carbide burr on a jig. It won't look 'pukka', but it should work, as that is how the Rem-choke rifled choke tube appears to be made.
empirevr:
The so-called 'jungle gun' had straight rifling down the bore, ending with a twist starting about 5 inches from the muzzles. Yet another variation on the British 'ball and shot' gun.

European guns generally have longer 'end chokes' than American guns, the Rem autoloader at least in 10 bore, has no end choke (I've read).
; The end chokes on my AYA 10 bore were almost 2".
; I actually hadn't thought about the end chokes when discussing this with my friend. You are right, 2" would be better, although 1-1/2" might work OK.
; My friend sugested to rifle the entire barrel and that's probably what we'll end up doing.
