1. Yes

2. Yes

Th chokes were cut from the rear using the bore to center the cutter. Parker Bros. chokes are sometimes 5" to 6" long but generally around 3". There is often a parallel section at the muzzles that measure as much as 3/8" long.
There are a few smiths who can properly cut chokes. Mike Orlen in Amherst, MA, Abe Chaber in CT, and Kirk Merrington in TX come to mind.
