Hey, Ken, I'll get a photo of the barrel flats and post them for you. The chambers measure 2 1/2" by my gauge, and I'm shooting 5/8 oz. RSTs out of the gun. It's choked open (.005) and tight (.029). The right choke is perfect for the covey rise. I've yet to use the left barrel. I wonder how long that will last. 
So how's that red and black brace working for you? It's tough trying to bring a pup along without birds. Good luck for the remainder of your season. Some moisture (but not too much) and cooler temperatures would help us both.
