Give a GOOD cleaning before you go hunting to get the rust preservative out of it - including the choke tubes and threads. You'll then be able to tell what chokes are in the gun - they will need a little grease upon reinsertion, as will the hinge pin - NOT oil.
QA/QC is iffy - some good, some not -longevity is not there yet either - these were built to sell at a certain point, not built to great specs and then priced accordingly, so "you get what you pay for" comes to mind.
Hopefully yours will get you through your season.
