yes if you are talking about a vent rib feild barrel the barrel should be marked for the choke. either full, mod, or imp cyl. you really want to use imp cyl but can fire a slug thru a mod or full, if it has choke tubes then i would get the imp cyl.


How do you determine chokes on flues 20 ga. circa 1920 the barrels are marked 2 and 4?

As you correctly assumed the stamping of the numbers 2 & 4 on the barrel flats designates the choke of each barrel. 2 being the designation for a modified choke and 4 for a full choke.

On a Stevens 311 20 gauge side by side is there a way to tell if the chokes are full or modified?

yes, I have a 311a double barrel 20ga and the left barrel is a full choke and the right barrel is modified. I also have a Springfield 511 double barrel and the chokes are the same on it. If you look at the end of the barrel you can tell one of them is slightly smaller and that is your full choke, that would be the left barrel and the right barrel is modified. I hope that helps. Of course, if they are improved and open there will also be a difference in the measurements. Just take it to a gunsmith and ask him to check. If he has the gauges, it will take him less than a minute and he probably won't even charge you for it.


Is there a improved cylinder barrel for the sweet 16?

They were made. The code on the left rear of the barrel for a cylinder choke would be ***. Improved cylinder is marked with two astricks and a minus sign,so **-. Here are the Browning choke markings: * =Full.*- = Imp. Mod.,** = Mod.,**- = Imp.Cly., **$ = Skeet and *** = Cly.

Do shotguns need chokes?

It is possible to fire a shotgun without a choke, but it is highly not reccomended, and they don't cost that much If you select a barrel with no choke (cylinder) it will cause the pattern to be looser than for a barrel of a shotgun that has a tighter choke. The extreme is "full choke" which keeps a tight pattern out to the effective range. Full choke is typically used for waterfowl. A shotgun that is pressed into double duty (shot for small game and slugs for big game) would work well to have modified choke. Slugs have to be designed to fire through a full choke without blowing the barrel but you will certainly shorten the life of the barrel by firing slugs through a choked barrel. If you can afford an extra barrel, then use a cylinder (no choke) for slugs. Remington and other shotgun manufacturers have interchangeable choke tubes (see link) that allow you to screw in the appropriate choke for your quarry.
