Centrepin Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Sorry in advance for another choke thread, please don't roll your eyes and move on. Simple question, search failed to answer. What's LCYL in English size ? Just bought a Miroku MK38 Sporter 32" barrels, comes with 4 extended chokes and 2 flush. All pictured below. I just want to fit 2, and live with them. Thanks in advanceπ Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 No idea what the first L means. All I can add is that I've never used a cylinder choke for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centrepin Posted December 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Thanks, search pulled up MOD is 1/2, IMP.MOD is 3/4, then English to American 1/4 is IMP.CYL, finally 1/2 is MOD. SK is skeet either language.Β Can't find LCYL anywhere, but sure the collective will know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 It's not a nomenclature that Teague use now β¦ Stick your finger in and see if it's tighter than the skeet is all I can suggest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centrepin Posted December 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 The LCYL is marginally tighter than the skeet? Non technical I shoved my little finger in and the LCYL stuck sooner ππ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centrepin Posted December 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Dunno, its driving me mad, google keeps sending me to old threads on here, I've looked at loads of diagrams and pictures.

SK is skeet either language. You're okay with the above chart you found up to Mod/1/2 choke, but whereas the traditional 3/4 choke is .030" constriction you'll find with some makes that chokes marked IM will be .025" and Full will be .030" whereas UK designation for Full is normally .040". I can't be fussed with twiddling chokes so on my multi choke guns I just shove 2 x 3/8 chokes in and go shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Best Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) Your diagram shows βsmall but useableβ up to about eight yards with the cylinder choke. Just you try shooting something at eight yards with a true cylinder. You will vaporise it! The stupid diagram also shows cylinder as only being useable up to twenty yards. Utter piffle! A true cylinder 12 bore is a useable choke up to approx 40 yards. I use one regularly for everything from snipe to geese. WhatΒ Westward said, Β stop fretting about choke and go shooting. There is more **** talked about chokes than there is about fishing. Edited December 4, 2019 by London Best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Best GUESS is it's Improved Cylinder. Trust your finger although the old white candles were better and see if it falls between Skeet and 1/4. Probably a mis-stamp if you find that it does. As ever, it pays to pattern the gun but my starter for ten would be to complement that one with the Teague 1/2 and go shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 To acurately work out the degree of constriction you will need to measure the choke dimensionsΒ and compare that measurement to the size of your barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centrepin Posted December 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) I'll get it on Ebay and add the words Rare in the title, about 199.99 starting bid and a bin price of 500 if it's so collectable. I could use the money to buy a hand stamping kit and make some more rare, valuable and collectable items.
