Choke indications ?

[Dean Romig]

Right Phil - chokes were cut by testing patterns. Maybe there was a starting measurement in thousandths of an inch but the final cuts were most likely done after successive patterning.

What Dean says, I have a 20 gauge and a different 16 that were ordered from the factory with "cylinder" chokes according to their letters in the right barrel and full in the left. The 20 measures about .0045" and the 16 is just under .006". I am sure both of these guns threw a "cylinder" pattern when they left Meriden.
