Salopian,
In an 1888 L.C. Smith Gun Catalog Syracuse, N.Y.,they state "All of our Guns are Choke-Bored to shoot extremely Close unless Otherwise Ordered. No extra Charge." Also states "Our System of Multiplied Choke Boring Gives Better Pattern and Penetration Than Any Other System of Boring". Also "No Extra Charge for our Multiplied Choke Boring. It Produces better results than any other method, No othr manufacturer can use our system of Choke Boring."

This is again from an 1888 catalog, I don't know what time frame you were referring to and they also stated that European guns didn't have some of their (L.C. Smith's) features.

I'm stil trying to figure out what they meant by Multiplied Choke boring.
