Nice looking old gun. Do you know if it is chambered in 3" or 2 3/4"? Also, what choke? Thanks.

You know I hate to be ignorant but I don't know either answer. I shot this gun as a teenager but I really don't remember any details. I used it mostly to shoot doves.

 

[SgtBrown]

Not a problem. If you happen to find out, please let me know. Looking for 3" chamber and full choke. Thanks again.

3" would be the shell size. Correct? How do I found out the choke?

 

[SgtBrown]

Correct. Shotgun chambered in 3" will shoot 2 3/4" or 3" shells. Choke size seems to be marked on the barrel only about half of the time. Most local gun shops or pawn shops that deal with guns on a regular basis will have a choke gauge. But, unless you have one close by, that may not be convenient to have checked.
While looking around online, I did see a couple of these guns with an adjustable choke, which can usually be adjusted to improved, modified, or full.

I just found some old buckshot and they are all 2 3/4 marked on the shells. There is no adjustable choke on th barrel
