My Dickinson Estate .410 has factory marked M/M fixed chokes that measure .009/.009 with a dial caliper. Where on the gun are they marked, WS? I've never seen choke markings on mine. SRH Stan, mine are marked with 3 stars (Mod) just ahead of the barrel flats as shown by Adam. Is yours not stamped similarly?

Just looked at mine in between hauling loads of corn to the bins. It has the three stars, too. Never noticed before. Thanks.

No .410 but I have a Dickinson, although it's a 12ga, and I still can't pull the triggers. Gotta get that fixed one day.
I do have a couple of .410 shotguns; an original Marlin Four-tenner that only shoots 2.5" shells and a Nitro Special. Full choke all around.
No doubt I could take a limit with one of them on opening day in a sunflower patch. However I just can't justify shooting wild game birds with what I consider to be less than adequate loads. I deem that to be 1oz. of shot. It is just a personal thing with me and I do not judge others for their choice of gun.
I've followed Stan's and others' results with their .410 and know better than to say it can't be effective. Still, I think I would cripple too many to suit my sensibilities...Geo

3 types of fluting common on taper pin reamers: Straight, Reverse Twist, Reverse Spiral. I've been using the reverse twist (middle) style to prevent chatter when hand reaming a forcing cone.  Example of plain HSS vs. TiN coated

I can have greater density with a 11/16 oz. load at 25 yds. than some have with 1 oz. at 35-40 yds. Not being argumentative. I respect anyone who "errs on the side of caution". All my best, SRH
