And it's a 24" 16 gauge on a 1 frame, we'll never know what the original owner was thinking. No matter, I like it. You should shoot some roosters with that one. Congrats, nice find.
The J Cliff Green two gun four barrel set are all 24” and beavertail forends .

I love the engraving on Remington Era DHEs.

Bill Murphy explained the reason for tighter chokes in skeet guns once before. Hopefully he will again, which would also explain the reversed chokes.

Jerry,
You are correct about Bill's statement. Tighter chokes were used due to the side of the field/house the targets were broken in the early days of the game.

This gun has .025R and .018L constriction.

I’ve got VHE skeets in 12 and 16 both of those when measured are closer to what I’d call light mod and mod . A typical skeet gun of today doesn’t have more than 10/1000’s in either barrel and most I think are more like 5/1000’s .
