Hi all, say, do any of you 28ga Dickinson owners know what the bore diameter is on your Dickinson? And with that, are the choke tubes close to what they are marked?
I know you have to pattern the gun, but I just looking for some ballpark figures.
Thanks!

Ok, my buddies gun is still here so....
Full .523 IM .528 M .536 IC .538 Cyl .542
rear diameter of chokes are between .555 and .559 measured with dial calipers. I screwed in the choke that measures .555 at the back, and the bore looks like it will be close to .542, given the size of the step. I don't have a bore gauge here at the house.
Kind of wierd numbers.

If I remember correctly, my 28-gauge cylinder marked choke measured a negative .003 constriction.

Thanks Bill!! I did order a small caliper, so I should be able to measure my 20's as well.
Thanks again!

Hi all, I just measured my choke tubes and here's what I got:
Cyl - .542 IC - .538 M - .534 IM - .530 F - .523
Close to what Bill got.

How does she shoot?? You going to have to bend the barrels around a tree? or bag of shot or eat some cheesecake to make the jowls thicker? What fun, what fun to test new guns.

Hey Mike, I did take her out when I first got her, shot well, didn't pattern it except for clays. Broke more than I missed (my fault not the gun). The LOP is too long for me, got some cheek slap, so she's at the Smith now. Getting a plate put on her as we speak.
Best,
Greg

How would you rate the trigger pull weights ?

Hi, I don't have a gauge, but the triggers are light and very crisp. To be honest, they are a bit better or equal to some of my Brit guns. Now, my Dickinson 16ga with a ST is another story. The pulls have no creep but are heavy. They are ok for hunting, but wouldn't want them if I was in a Clay's Competition. Best, Greg
