Choke honing/polishing?

Was wondering if there's any benefit to honing & polishing a turkey choke to remove the lathe marks. I'm sure your mileage will vary but just curious if anyone had done it and if helped or hurt patterns.

someone that know more than me will chime in, but I would not think that honing or polishing your choke would be a good thing. A lot of choke makers build wad stripper in their choke design to slow the wad down. By honing and or polishing I would think you stand a strong chance of removing, and or reducing the desired effect of the wad stripper.

In my mind cleaning the choke is good, polishing or honing would be bad.

The lathe marks are not as bad as the ports.  They help alot of times to slow the wad down.  Now if it is chatter that is diffrent.  If it is a swirl that hurts also.

That opens a big door.  I will stay outside and just say I DO NOT choke my FCW guns real small.  That wad does not have much give to it.
