I'm going to measure that one for sure this weekend. Perhaps I will at least look like I know what the hell I'm doing.

I've said this before and I'll say it again Andy...Just shoot the damn thing and forget about the chokes. Looks like you're doing that with that 16/ O frame

Daryl I think you're sorely mistaken. It has nothing to do with shooting it, I just want to have an inventory of my stuff and make better buying decisions. I don't pay much attention to chokes. I have ordered a Perazzi and I'm considered a heretic because I did NOT get screw in chokes. I hate choke tubes and shoot what I got. The only thing I don't like is very open chokes all the time. Not enough dust is created that way.

Didn't mean it that way Andy. Just saying that you do so well with your tightly choked 16 and yes, for reference purposes and for better buying conditions you are on the right track.

In the last year I have acquired 3 Perazzis, a 12, 20 and 28. Only the 12 has screw ins and they came with the gun. They are Teague and they are wonderful. Written in bold letters inside the tube case is "do not underchoke". I leave the M and IM in full time. The MX28 has fixed M/IM and the MX20 has M/M. Yea, I like em tight.

I love Perazzi's : ) I'm waiting on my only one (should say FIRST one) to be delivered.

BINGO!! If you put the muzzles at the right place you’ll hit what you’re shooting at no matter what the choke is.

Andy, good all around chokes would be on both sides of Mod. LM, M and IM. The IM is close enough to F for those that like “diesel smoke” while LM is tight enough to reach out and break a longer clay. I had full length sub-gauge tubes made that stay in each barrel set. They were made to fit those specific barrels. They are all fixed chokes. I did LM/IM in each. Fun to shoot. Crush targets when I do my part.
