CHOKE-BORE SHOTGUNS.
Pecatonica, Ill.
Please explain the difference between “full choke” and “modified choke” shotguns.
Sportsman.
Answer.—In a full choke shot-gun the bore is a perfect cylinder to within a few inches from the muzzle, where it swells inward slightly all around, and then opens out in the last six or seven inches to about the same diameter as in front of the choke. In a “modified choke” gun the barrel tapers from the shell chamber to the choke curve. In a “taper bore choke” the barrel tapers regularly from the shell chamber to the muzzle.
NIGHT GLASSES.
Harper, Kansas.
What is a night glass? Is it true that a person can see as plainly with one of these, in fair weather, at night, as he can without one in daylight?
