Chokes can only be properly measured with a bore gauge so that the constriction from bore to muzzle can be read. But, given the era that your Trojan was built, the bore diameter should not be too far off from modern nominal dimensions. So a drop in guage will get you in the ballpark.

Ya missed one, Brian. I think you must have really pissed Siri off.

Thank you Brian. I am going to stop by my local gunsmith later this week and see if he has one of those fancy micrometer gauges, but if not I will pickup a drop in and see what it has to say.
