These were made for Montgomery Ward by Mossberg. The C-Lect choke is an adjustable choke that is changed by screwing the outer tube in or out. If it does not turn with a full grip of the hand, fouling and crud may be keeping it from turning. Soak overnight with a good penetrant (I am partial to one called KROIL) and try again. The link below will take you to the original instruction sheet for the C-lect choke (we used to call them dial-a-ducks)
C-lect choke is an adjustable choke system that Mossberg implemented on their shotguns pre-1977. After 1977 they went to the accu-choke system. The choke is adjustable between Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. It is, however, not recommended for use with steel shot.
The 12ga C-Lect-Choke model 395KB bolt action shotgun was manufactured by the Savage Arms Company in the mid-20th century, specifically from the late 1950s to the early 1960s. This model featured a unique adjustable choke system known as the C-Lect-Choke, allowing the shooter to change the shot spread. While exact production years can vary, this model is generally associated with that time period.

Using steel shot with a full choke in a Western field 12 gauge shotgun is generally not recommended. Full chokes can constrict the shot too much, potentially leading to increased pressure and damage to the shotgun. It's advisable to use modified or improved cylinder chokes when shooting steel shot to ensure safe and effective performance. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific shotgun model before using different types of ammunition.
The choke on a Western Field shotgun model 565 is typically indicated by markings on the barrel, such as "Full," "Modified," or "Improved Cylinder." These designations inform the shooter about the constriction of the barrel's muzzle, which affects shot spread. Additionally, some shotguns may have a series of dots or other symbols to represent the choke type. Always check the owner's manual or consult a knowledgeable gunsmith for specific identification.
