The WS1 choke IS NOT bell shaped, it's full tapered about 3.5" long and choked .005" using my Baker bore mike. Its WS2 choke is about 4" long, also full tapered and with .013" constriction. Both tapers are highly uniform from start to muzzles. Comments?
Incidentally the second barrel is choked I-Mod and Full.

My comment Frank is that the #1 barrel, the right barrel, in Skeet is fires at the outgoing clay, therefor it was normally choked tighter than the #2 barrel.
Usually the #1 barrel in Skeet was the right barrel and the left barrel, #2, was the more open choke for the incomer.
However, I have heard that Winchester screwed this system up and went with the left barrel/choke being #1…….
…. This might have had something to do with the fact that most Skeet guns produced as ‘factory Skeet guns’ were being produced with a single trigger.
