...stupid tight. Took my BSS Sidelock out to the range this past weekend. 12 gauge, 28", DT, English, Factory choked Full/Mod. I loaded some Federal paper hulls with a 7/8 oz load with a spreader disks and had at em' on a Skeet field. 23 first round, 21 the second. All losses out of the left barrel. Pulverized doesn't begin to describe how hard this gun hit clay. With some 1 oz 1190 FPS paper loads, this little 6 1/2 lb marvel dusted birds out to 65 yards. Hmm. I measured the bores, .728 right and .730 left. 4 inches of perfectly tapered choke each barrel. Chokes measured .020 right (Mod) and .047 left(?). Full = .035 XFull= .040 What the hell do you call .047 ??

Old standards called .040 full. Personally, I would call .047 "Full-A-Plenty"

12 points of constriction past Briley Full made me feel better about my Skeet misses

Bob, my Lindner Daly is .047/.047 When you figure out what to call it, let me know.

What the hell do you call .047 ?? Maybe just a fudge tight .............. for a HE grade Super Fox duck gun. I've shot ducks with bismuth out of mine for many years. Killed a 6 duck limit with it, on Dec. 28 last year, with 6 shells. If you're on 'im, it'll do the job. If you ain't, you can miss him with a "Cylinder". SRH

Nice gun, Bob. I really don’t have a good use for a gun with that tight a choke, and I did look for a 26” BSS just for that reason. Got pheasants? Good luck with the new gun.
Best, Ted

Bob, my Lindner Daly is .047/.047 When you figure out what to call it, let me know. In today's vernacular, XX Full. Card shooters use chokes that tight, and tighter, regularly. But, finding the appropriate load is super important. Some card shooters use a barrel choked as much as .100". Now ............. what would you call that? SRH

Would it be criminal to open the chokes a tad? If it is too tight for you, I don't think it is a bad thing to open it up a bit.

I have a 28" BSS Sidelock that had been opened to IC & Mod before I bought it. I think that decreased the value even though it made the gun more useable for me...Geo

In the Flynn article, file:///Z:/weber-old-web-2015/flynn/james_flynn_bss_sidelock_article_050104.htm
Mr. Flynn describes the chokes as Full/Mod but c'mon, I had no idea. Massively Full choke with at 22 yards yielded a whopping 12 inch pattern. A spreader disk provided a most wanting extra 2 inches. 7/8 oz of #9's at an incomer on either station 1 or 7 left nothing but vapor.
