An 'ogee' choke profile is unlike the chokes cut by most other shotgun makers in that theirs is a 'cone'
with a definite shoulder at the end of a straight walled tube and
without the terminal 1/4" - 3/8" parallel walled section at the very muzzle that Parker chokes usually had.
Is that clear?.....I tried to be.
