Does anyone have a list of the markings that Iver Johnson used to stamp on their Skeeter barrels and what choke they represent? I'm looking at a Skeeter 410 and would like to know the code.
Thanks

Hunter 1, some years ago I noticed odd choke marking on Skeet-ers. They were made as clay guns and , as I remember, the chokes in mine were marked something like "I" and "O". I have no proof, but thought the symbols might mean Incoming and Outgoing.

According to the information I have, reverse barrel boring is an option. So you'll definitely want to check to see which barrel is tighter.

The one Skeeter that I had, a .410 bore, had reverse chokes, with the left barrel being more open than the right. I don't recall what the markings were. I don't know why they bothered with The reverse choke set up as it had a Miller SST.

O and C are two that I have seen. I'll measure mine to see what each means. OK, my 12 gauge is marked O and C. O is .015, C is .025. I have no idea what either means. However, they are great sporting clays chokes. For skeet, not so much. The more open choke is on the right.

My .410 Skeeter is marked O and C, left barrel O and right barrel C. I was told that O meant open while C was choke. O is cylinder on my gun.

It would appear that "reverse boring"--or what we'd consider to be reverse boring today--was actually standard on Skeeters. "Regular boring right barrel choked left barrel open." So it looks like sxsman has the right definitions for O and C. The 1940 Shooters Bible also gives patterning data, 3" .410 with 9's: "Right barrel, 338 shot in 30" circle at 30 yards. Left barrel, 347 shot in 30" circle at 20 yards."

As I posted earlier, my 12 gauge is standard boring, open on right, choke on left. I have heard about reverse bored Skeeters also.

The one Iver Johnson catalogue I have that includes the SKEET-ER says "Regular skeet boring; right barrel 75% 30 in. circle at 30 yards; left barrel 75% at 20 yards."
