Thanks! Mine have choke lengths of about 4.5 inches in the oldest, and in the neighborhood of 2.0-2.5 inches in the other two (from the first two years of the 20th century).
I suspect at least one of those has had its chokes opened. When chokes are opened, are they also (generally) shortened in the process? Intuitively (I know, not safe thinking), I would think not.

Garry: if the choke is opened (properly) from the breech with a piloted reamer, the length of the taper might be shortened depending on the profile of the reamer

Garry- my experience has been that many original lefever guns pick up choke at or very close to 4” from the muzzle and taper significantly at 2”.
