That's just it. My eyes date back to the Eisenhower administration, and I'm having a harder time with my focus the older I get. Having said that, all my field and trap barrels still sport beads, and I don't have any plans to change them just yet.
I retrieved my slug barrel from the shop today, and the thought occurred to me that I could ID the size of my choke by simply holding various diameter Remchokes to the muzzle and shining a flashlight down the barrel to see which one matched the diameter of the muzzle. The IC Remchoke was a...
This one's a smoothbore with rifle sights. I might shoot 00 buck through it at some point, and I'd rather have an IC choke than none if I decide to go that route.
The barrel is in the shop right now for a front sight swap, but my recollection is that it has a date code and assorted proof marks, but no asterisks. My other Remington fixed choke barrels all have the word "full" printed on the rear left side, and I gather from photographs I've seen on the...
