One of the reasons so many older doubles are bored/choked the way they are is, of course, the cardboard/felt wads used back then--long before plastic shotcups/wads were invented.
My 10-gauge is a Spanish gun, made by one of the very good companies that went under during the Diarm deal in the 1980s. Of course it's choked tight (the reason I don't use steel opr other hard shot) but it knocks the snot out of geese at long ranges with modern "soft" non-toxic shot, whether Bismuth or Ballistic Products ITX-10.
