Its just a plain barrel,there is no screw in choke or provisions for it,like I stated earlier I am assuming it is a field barrel?
Field barrels have chokes, whether built in or removable, could possibly be cylinder bore, but I doubt it. Should say somewhere on the barrel what choke it is, unless it is like a million years old.
It must be a million years old.It says PROOF TESTED 12 GAUGE-2&3/4 shells only.The gun is in excellent shape,thats why I bought it.I think it was built in the 50's or 60's.
Do you have a caliper to check the bore diameter at the end of the barrel?
As long that it is not a laminated barrel, I don't see why you couldn't shoot 2 3/4" slugs out of it.
I got .682 on the bore diameter and the barrell end thickness is .082
I want to buy a shotgun, but I can't decide between a smooth or rifled barrel. I understand that a rifled barrel will help extend slug accuracy.
What does rifling do for buckshot or birdshot?
What's your favorite kind of barrel?
Also, would 20 gauge be OK for deer hunting and home defence?
I will be shooting small game and varmits, the occasional clay targets, and paper targets. I don't hunt, but I want the capability to hunt deer if I ever decide to start hunting in the future.
