I have a Simpson Suhl 12g that I am not sure of the chokes. can the chokes be determined by the barrel flat markings? It has 30 inch barrels. The gun is in excellent condition and I would like to shoot it but would kinda like to figure out the chokes. I don't have a choke guage but may have to get one if these guns keep coming up.

Well, there was the old dime measure. If the dime won't go in the 12 ga., it was full, just fits inside modified. Don't know if that is precise enough for this crowd...Steve

In the German scheme of things the choke mark just notes 0.2mm of constriction and seeing that choke is dependent on shot size, a pattern effort is about the only way to determine the constriction/shot size.

Kind Regards,

Where are you seeing 0.2mm of constriction? Could you explain
