How many out there shoot a New Englander muzzle loading shotgun? If so how does it shoot? Does it have interchangable or fixed choke. How are the patterns?

Mine has choke tubes, shoots good patterns, can take dove to turkeys with the right load, I now prefer my SxS 12 ga, my son will get the single in a few years when he can load & shoot it safely

i had one a couple of years ago, with 2 bbls, one no choke, another with tubes. I did not like it, though it shot and patterned very well, as it was a very heavy barrel for a S/G, almost as heavy as the rifle barrel. I have a custom 10ga single underhammer now, the whole gun weighs approx 6 lbs.
The quality of the T/C was excellent, as is to be expected, I just thought it was too heavy for proper swing.
