Dumb question

[tenbears10]

I have 000 stamped on one barrel and 0000 on the other barrel of my Macnab. It is fixed choke so the only thing I can think is that they denote what choke each barrel is.

 

Am I right and if so what do they relate to in the 1/4, 1/2, full scale?

 

Told you it was a daft question but I got the gun second hand and I can't remember what chokes it is.

 

Thanks in advance

Thanks the link did work.

 

Still not sure what 000 and 0000 equal in terms of full or 1/2 etc.

Ok I just checked the macnab website and the highlander only comes in 1/4 and 1/2 fixed choke so I do know what choke it is.

Tenbears,

 

What I put up a few months ago, just took awhile for me to find it

 

Choke restrictions are

 

full = 40 thou of an inch. Marked as * or 1 slot or 1 something

3/4 = 30 **

1/2 = 20 ***

1/4 = 10 ****

cyl = 0 *****

 

Not sure what skeet is set to but could be 5 thou.

Thanks Trev

 

No excuse for not hitting stuff now then. :*)

the 000,s are the number of birds the last owner shot with that gun.

hence it being second hand.
