Best Answer

Look at the rifling in a good light. If it seems washed out or severely pitted, it may be "shot out". If the grooves have buildup that won't clean out easily, it may require that lead be removed. This should only be a problem if you have been shooting cast bullets (not jacketed).

How can you tell what choke a 12GA Savage model 30F barrel has?

All guns should have the information stamped onto the barrel. Most of the time it is near the action. Look on the barrel of your shot gun and it should tell you the make, model, caliber (or in your case with a shot gun) the gauge, for shot guns the size of shell the gun takes, and finally the choke the shot gun has. If it is a screw on choke it should saw on it.

How can i tell if the gun has ever been shot?

You inspect the parts to see if they look worn. If a gun has been shot once or twice, or a very few times and then cleaned, it may be hard to tell if it's been shot, but if it hasn't been cleaned, there will probably be fouling inside the barrel.

It says it on the barrel, otherwise if there's no riffling it's been modified or shot out, but quite unlikely.
