Smith LRWF marketing verbiage in 1923 "A distinctive L.C. Smith method of choking adds 15 to 20 yards to ordinary shotgun range...specially bored to a longer, tapering choke..."

Starting in 1907, Hunter Arms catalogs included the following statement:
"All Smith Guns are bored full choke unless otherwise ordered. We bore all our guns according to our Multiplied Choke Bore System, which has made the Smith Gun famous the world over for long-distance, close-shooting and hard-hitting qualities."

I am not aware of ANY factory LRWF that has anything but the standard bore dimensions; .730" without tapering to the choke constriction of about 3 inches in length; slightly more than the standard constriction over about 1 1/2" with a 1" parallel at the muzzle.
