I think we see this once and a while in the letters that get posted -
I also think I have seen such customer requests on Fox cards as well it would surprise me if any of the double gun makers would refuse a customer's request to make sure a graded gun shot as desired

1906 Hunter Arms catalog courtesy of David Williamson - "Should the sportsman desire a gun to make a pattern particular to his needs, we can bore them to suit."

Hunter arms must have changed their mind when they brought out the Longrange to compete with the super Fox
at least I think 42 thousands is extra full

Rick: some pre-1913 Smith 16g chokes have been measured with constriction greater than .040"

Those of us who copied the Parker Brothers records as members of the original Parker Research Team have seen hundreds of orders that specified special patterns at specific ranges with specific loads and shot sizes.

Yes, not uncommon to see this in the order books.
