Citori barrel and choke question

[dmarbell]

I have a Citori Plus trap gun with 32" barrels. I bought a Trulock choke set with six extended chokes for it. I noticed the flush chokes were tight, and the extended ones are also. The extended chokes go in by hand, but with some pressure. Also, they seem tighter on one side of the turn than the other.

Is this relatively normal? I haven't taken the time to clean the barrel threads, which I will do and report back (just thought of it, actually!).

Also, I've started to shoot skeet. I found a set of Citori skeet barrels for this gun. The plus has adjustable comb and butt (somewhat), with recoil reducing plunger.

Anyone have some experience shooting skeet with extra barrels on a Plus?

I know that when I have purchased extended chokes in the past it goes like this:

Me - I want to get a Light-Mod choke for my Beretta 391. It's an Optima choke.
Seller - Here you go.
---------------
Me - I'd like a couple Improved-Mods for a .750 bore Kolar.
Seller - Here you go.
---------------
Me - I'd like to get a couple Light-Mods for my Browning 425. It's got the Invector Plus chokes.
Seller - Do you have the gun here?
Me - Not on me, but it's in the truck.
Seller - Go get it so I can measure the bore.
Me - OK. I'll be right back.
----------------

It seems like for standard Invector+ chokes, some are a little loose, some are a little tight. When buying aftermarket ones, they'll sometimes have them made up with very slightly different (a thou or two) diameters, in order to make the fit more precise.
