Question on chokes

[Phil V.]

I have an Eastern Arms Co. 20 ga. that does not have any markings for what choke it has. What are the measurements to see what choke it is? I do have access to micrometers to do the measuring.Thanks Phil

Just swing into your local gun shop. They nearly all have a shotgun choke gauge. They will check it for free in most all cases.

A choke gauge will look something like these two in most cases

Choke Chart's

Thanks onpoint. This way it will help in choosing the right shot to use with it. I had gone by the choke to get the right shot and velocity to pattern right for me. And not knowing what it was,bugged me because I was having trouble getting the right shot.
