"The chokes are noted on the box as being Mod and Full. The marks from the proofhouse in VT tell a different story, however. They have the stamp of 2 and 3 stars, proofhouse speak for modified and improve modified."

Ted,
I wasn't aware that Proof Houses marked the actual constriction of choke as proofs. I always thought it was the manufacturer who did that.

Would you please tell me which Proof House you are referring to that stamped the chokes on the gun you are referring to.

Thanks.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
