Yes, skeet choke is more restricted than cylinder choke. A cylinder choke has no constriction, allowing for a wide spread of shot, while a skeet choke has a slight constriction that helps improve shot density and accuracy at short ranges. This makes skeet choke more effective for shooting at fast-moving targets like clay pigeons in skeet shooting.
No way to tell without more of a description.
The older brownings use an asterisk (*) or a set of them to determine the choke of the barrel. (one) * is Full, (Two) ** is Modified, and (three) *** is improved cylinder. This marking is usually located on the side of the barrel along the same line as the mfg's name. More complete answer BROWNING CHOKES AND THEIR CODES (ON REAR LEFT-SIDE OF BARREL) '*' 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).
Improved-cylinder, or skeet barrel. "Modified or full-choke barrels (in any make gun) simply will not shoot slugs or buckshot as well as the more open chokes." --Edward A. Matunas; "Deer Hunter's Guide to Guns, Ammo and Equipment", 1983
On a shotgun what choke will open up more improved cylinder or modified?
You can shoot slugs in a double. Slugs are best shot through a cylinder bore or improved cylinder choke. The tighter the choke, the more they will be disrupted. There is risk of excessive wear and damage through a tight choke--tighter than Modified Choke.
Depends on what you are shooting. A Modified Choke gives a medium "squeeze" to the pellets passing thru the end of a shotgun barrel, thus producing a denser pattern of shot. A full choke squeezes more, and a cylinder choke, not at all. A denser pattern may mean slightly greater range with birdshot- but it will also mean the shot pattern is smaller, reducing the chance of hitting a bird in flight. In general, modified is a "middle of the road" choke, and fairly useful in hunting- but not in skeet, trap, or sporting clays.
"Choke" refers to the amount that the barrel is constricted at the muzzle (located at the end of the shotgun barrel). The more constricted the bore opening is, the narrower and denser the pattern of shot which can be thrown. Several degrees of choke are commonly available, including full, improved-modified, modified, improved-cylinder and cylinder bore. Full choke barrels are made for long range shooting because they make the shot pattern denser at greater distances. Improved modified chokes fall between the full choke and the modified choke and are sometimes used in trapshooting. Modified chokes are midway between the full choke and the improved cylinder choke. Improved cylinder and cylinder bore or skeet chokes have little constriction and give the greatest spread (most open pattern) when shot is fired at close range. A slug may be fired through a choke so long as the slug can fit. If the choke is to small at best the choke threads will strip and at worst the barrel will split down the middle killing or maiming you. When in doubt ask the dealer.
Too many variables to answer your question. Is it a field, Skeet, Trap? Condition, barrel choke and quality of wood make a lot of difference to the value of the gun. Need more info..........
well some of the most famous are shannon woodward, rihanna & DJ skeet skeet but she has more
Look at the barrel for the choke marking. After the name, just before the meets the receiver, there will be one or more stars. One * means a full choke, the more stars, the more open the choke.
No. It is unsafe to shoot slugs in a shotgun with a full choke. A full choke shotgun may not allow the slug to pass through and could injure the gun and the shooter. Slugs will work fine in ANY shotgun that has a cylinder, improved cylinder, or modified cylinder choke. If you happen to have a shotgun with crew in chokes, it will be easy to switch chokes. Most slugs that people use are the foster- type slugs. These slugs feature a hollow base and are made of softer lead and are found at most stores. They are made by Remington, Winchester, and Federal. These slugs are more forgiving as they can sometimes squeeze through a tighter choke. Slugs like those from Brenneke and Dixie slugs are made of harden lead and are less forgiving. These slugs are safest used in shotguns that have cylinder or improved cylinder chokes.
by turning or loosening the choke you are increasing the diameter of the bbl. by tightening the choke you are decreasing the diameter. all the way tight is full choke about 6 clicks open is modified and about 6 more clicks open is improved cylinder. shoot your gun on full or all the way tight into a target then open the choke up to modified shoot again then open it to imp. cyl. and shoot again. the clicks you may need to turn your particular choke may be a little different than mine. kell.
