Refers to the amount of constriction at the muzzle.
With standard chokes, Full Choke is the tightest. However, there are non-standard chokes for SOME shotguns (used by turkey hunters) that are Extra Full Choke.

There is an excellent article at the link below to explain the choke process for shotguns.
The choke is a way of narrowing the barrel. It is designed to keep the shot in a tighter pattern. A full choke is supposed to increase the effective range of the weapon.
A Winchoke is a screw in choking device that screws into the end of a Winchester Shotgun. Commonly called a screw in choke, most manufacturers have a different name for their chokes that they made specifically for their products. Screw in chokes eliminate the need for extra barrels with different chokes built in. The screw in choke allows the shooter to change from open chokes to a full choke depending on how wide they want the shot pattern to spread. Winchester makes the Winchoke, Remington makes the Remchoke, Browning makes the Invector choke and so on.
In both the U.S. and British scale of chokes, Full choke is the tightest choke for game guns (there are some "extra tight" chokes but these are generally for other thsan game guns). The English 3/4 (three quarter) choke is equivalent to the U.S. "Improved Modified" The English 1/2 (quarter ) choke is equivant to the U.S. "modified" In other words the Mod choke is one half the tightness of a full choke and a the Improved Modified is three quarters the tightness of a full choke.
A barrel with a full choke.
Depends on the choke. MOST chokes, including full choke, can safely fire slugs. Some makers of adjustable chokes recommend that slugs NOT be fired thru their chokes. A very few chokes, such as the Extra Full chokes used on some turkey guns should not be used for slugs.
you do not operate choke chokes have different settings for different shot spread and pattern you can change this if the gun has changable chokes if changable the choke screws off and you screw different choke on Yes you do operate this choke, I own one.! It has markings on side. Its what is called a poly choke You can crank it closed for Full choke or twist it open Hope this helps
Best guess: You have a shotgun manufactured in Croatia. "Pun" means "Full" in Croatian. "Pola" means "Half". You would have something like 70% constriction in the Pun barrel and 55 to 60% constriction in the Pola barrel.
only if your choke is improved cylinder or modified, full chokes are a no,no. the barrel will bulge or burst!
