Jay, the Whittemore is a masterpiece in machining and design. I had (past tense, regrettably) a very high grade 12.
Wait till you measure the chokes. You'll be shocked to see they are double tapered and about 12" long.

After reading this I went and checked mine and yep... just like Edgar described. A slight taper begins 12" from the muzzle then parallels for a few inches and then a nice long gradual taper to a full choke at the muzzle. Never patterned it but now it's got me interested in doing so.

Jay, I was planning on bringing my 1873 to the New Year's shoot. It's a 12 gauge grade 4 with Laminated steel barrels.
