hi all my old macnab lowlander came with five chokes, they are ,full, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 and cylinder, but which one is the skeet choke??? :lol::lol:;):oops:

None of them mate skeet is an open choke that just creates a slightly better pattern than cylinder, it is however more open than 1/4. I am short of skeet chokes but a gunsmith I know said if Idrop a full and skeet in to him he will open the full out to skeet for me costing £10. Tjhat could be an option for you if you want a skeet choke.

It's actually a bit confusing because I think the definition of 'Skeet' choke varies by manufacturer. Beretta's 'Skeet' choke is actually more open than the one they label 'Cylinder' (which is actually improved cylinder in English money - see table I posted before).

 

Here is Beretta's 'Cylinder' (bottom) and 'Skeet' (top) mobilchoke (what I call improved cylinder and true cylinder)

You can probably just about see the difference in the thickness of the walls of the choke by eye... (the one on the right is Beretta's 'Skeet' choke)...

My rusty old vernier calipers make the internal diameters at the muzzle:

 

'Cylinder' (English Improved Cylinder) 0.712"

'Skeet' (English True Cylinder) 0.724"

 

So (if you trust my calipers?!) even Skeet is offering a tiny amount of choke on the nominal 12g bore of 0.729" but it is clearly more open than what Beretta call 'Cylinder'.
