Hmm, interesting.
Strange that a replacement barrel would only come with one. Keep us posted once it arrives...

The way you describe the barrel is exactly how mine looks with the removable choke installed. The Accu chokes fit completely inside the barrel and flush with the end of the muzzle. Their choke wrench fits into the notches on either side and the choke is removed by turning it left. If you don't have a choke wrench you can use a coin to fit in these notches and try to remove yours...
If your choke is removable and not fixed, I would think just about any choke wrench would work. The threading should be standardized to fit most aftermarket chokes as well...
1. Correct. There is no need to replace the spring retainer after you've added the NC tube extension.
2. Yes. A little wiggle in the bolt handle is completely normal.
3. Absolutely. There are no bumb questions around here. Shooting 00 buck through your modified choke is perfectly safe and should produce effective patterns on target. Any tighter than modified though and you will likely see degredation in performance. The tighter choke tubes can cause deformation of the shot which can create irregular trajectories and inconsistent patterns on target.
Thanks much. Pictures, as requested... Sorry all I had was my sofa.
Yup, it's funny how some materials that look alike to the eye reflect light differently. In one photo I took of a fully parkerized 1911 the slide looked park'd and the frame looked like it was cerakoted OD green...
