There is a tool known as a choke gauge. It is a tapered length of metal that is placed in the bore, and measures the width of the muzzle. Or- shoot the shotgun, and determine how it patterns, Purpose of a choke is to to open or close a shot pattern- and proof is in what the gun does.
to test it take apart a 410 slug and see if it fits through
The 5100 was made from 1931 to 1941. I didn't know a single trigger was available in the Springfield line. I own an old Springfield double barrel 20 gauge, serial number E67029. Is Springfield the actual model name, I see no reference anywhere to a model 5100. How do I verify what I have. Well, Apollo50, tell us what IS marked on it and maybe we can tell you something.
hello just want to know the value of the gun and is it made by browing or mossenburg
'*' designates full choke (F). '*-' designates improved modified choke (IM). '**' designates modified choke (M). '**-' designates improved cylinder choke (IC). '**$' designates skeet (SK). '***' designates cylinder bore (CYL).
Should be stamped on the barrel, if not, you should take it to a competant gun smith to have it checked
What do you want to know?
I have no idea, but I also have a 16 gauge bolt action shotgun that needs a clip so if you find a place to look please let me know. The H&R Gamester boltaction shotgun never used a clip. It is a tubular fed 3-shot shotgun made in 12 and 16 gauges. I have one (model 348) which is the same as the model 349 Gamester minus the adjustable choke. Numrich Arms has most parts for this shotgun. You can purchase the magazine parts you need to make it a repeater.
10-1000 USD depending on specifics.
The western field model m550cr shotgun was made in the U.S.A. at montgomery wards around 1950. One of the very few shotguns to have a c-lect or select choke on it. Though it is a cheap gun today, it is one of the finest shooting out there. I know this because I own one myself. I hope this helped you.
The last one I saw today had a 28 inch full choke barrel. Sure I would shoot buckshot out of that shotgun all day. I don't know about slugs though. The box of slugs state that they will shoot out of any choke; however, IC produces the best results.
Would need to know which model.
I don't know the age, but this shotgun was made by Noble. Their model number was 60-66.
