Old 1100 barrel marked "Modified Trap" - what constriction is it?
(Preview)
My dad has an old Remington 1100 that is pre-screw in chokes. He's got four or five barrels for it that are all normal choke names, except for "Modified Trap". Is this Improved Modified or is it something else? I guess I could just take a caliper and measure the bore width, right?
