Default choke constriction

I recently acquired an AH Fox 410 by CSM and miked the chokes at .022 & .023. I have no chart to determine if these equate to full, mod etc. If anyone here knows I'd appreciate the info.

How does it pattern in what diameter circle and at what distances??? That should be a better indicator of effective choke.

Your chokes are very full. Parker 28 gauge full is .020. In a .410, .023 is over the top.

I haven't patterned it but based on what it will do to a target even using the std AA 2 1/2 skeet load I figgured it was very tight. I think these will see a trip to the gunsmith and get opened up considerably.

John the gun is a recent production (2000) from CSM. It's a Fox FE with straight stock, splinter forarm, double triggers and 28 inch barrels. It has a fairly nice piece of wood and a great checkering pattern. I've included a couple of pictures for you.
