But, I never considered having a gun with "reversed chokes". I simply go to the rear trigger first, then the front next. My dedicated quail gun is a 20 ga. Fox, choked .006" right and .016" left. I can see no reason to reverse the chokes in the two barrels, but who knows what one may have wanted?

It was actually Dunlap Hardware in Macon, GA (maybe a typo). It was owned by Samuel Dunlap who died rather unexpectantly in 1928, from angina pectoris according to the obituary.

‘Angina pectoris” sounds like a heart attack to me. I would guess he complained of chest pains and then died soon after. I imagine an autopsy wasnt performed and science wasnt what it is today so someone wrote that down as cause of death. It means chest pain.
