Sure looks like a Poly-Choke

The Remington Sportsman the gent on the right is holding in my fourth photo has a Shooting Master choke device. I don't see anything in my third picture that looks anything like a Poly Choke, two Cutts Compensators and a mystery choke in the middle.

Actually Dave, it's the fourth picture down. the guy on the right is crossing his gun, with the "Poly Choke"(?) over the other gun.

Robert Stack won his World Championship in 1935? with a Cutts equipped Model 11 Remington 20 gauge. Wayne Mayes won more than one World Championship with Cutts equipped Model 1400 Winchesters.

Let's not forget Harry Wright and his Model 12 with the Cutts. If I'm not mistaken he won like 14 world championships and was one of the nicest men you'll ever meet. Plenty of pictures on the wall at Loch Raven skeet and trap showing squads in the 50's and 60's with their Cutts equipped guns. There is even one of you Bill accepting a trophy of some sorts.

Harry was a southpaw like me and when I first met him I was shooting a Rem 32 with a cast off stock. He invited over to his house and gave me a fancy stock with cast on for a lefty. Still have the gun sporting the fancy stock. His gun collection was legendary.

Pretty sure that is a model of the Shooting Master line of choke devices. They seemed to be continually evolving. From the 1954 Gun Digest --

Daryl, do you have the auction catalog that showed the guns of the Harry Wright collection? It is one of few gun auction catalogs that I have seen in hard cover.

I don't have it but I believe it is still at the club as is a book put together by his grandson showcasing his vast collection.

It is. They made a vented, and a non vented. The Poly Choke factory is about 2 miles from here, on the Farmington River.
Lyman also made a screw on choke.
