Big Dog Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Mr Pieman, Just want to check you out on something M8. Believe it or not but I just tuned in to the forum tonight to ask the same question for a mate of mine. Are you saying that skeet has no marks?? I though skeet had no marks? So I need to clarify that point. Also you have imp cyl and cyl with 4 marks each?? should 1 not have 5??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Higher the number, slacker the choke in most cases i believe Tam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dog Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Sorry but I still think this is wrong. I have always believed that Cylinder was more open than skeet. Take a look at this site and scrole down the tables: http://www.wildfowlmag.com/tips_strategies/shotgun_062304/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr Pieman Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Skeet = nNO notches Cylinder will have EITHER the letter 'C' and 4 notches, or 5 notches and no C. Imp Cyl has 4 notches Skeet may well be tighter than 'open cyl' but the markings are still left off. I suspect this is because the started with 1-5 notching systems and the discovered the need for extra chokes e.g. skeet!! Hope this clears things up for you PP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to fuel this up a bit . In front of me now is my Miroku owners manual.......... it states Chequered...X-Full I..............Full II.............Imp.Mod III............Mod IIII...........Imp.Cyl IIIII..........Skeet NONE........Cyl I will add that the Skeet choke I use which is an alternative one to the one made by Browning has no notches though :thumbs: Ive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
