Loaned out my choke gauge, I do have a caliper though. What measurement should I be looking for?

The muzzles are not super clean, and I thought it might have been cut, but I don't know what to expect with a gun this age.

I did remove a couple of screws last night to see if the trigger plate would come off easy, thinking I'd take a look at why the top latch is loose. The cover didn't want to budge, and I don't want to mess it up since I might not keep it. The grime that came with the screws seemed like some pretty ancient grime, as if it's never been opened up before.
