I have a used/not abused 16 with a ventilated PolyChoke installed. There is no choke marking on the barrel, so I think the PolyChoke was probably a factory option.
Can anyone confirm?
I had "heard" that the vents made report especially obnoxious. I experienced no discomfort in the field, but suppose it could be a factor on target ranges (skeet/trap). |

What you "heard" is irrelevant due to hearing protection at the range. As far as your polychoke, I am 95% certain you are correct that it was factory installed. If memory serves, there should be a number on the choke that indicates Remington or Polychoke installation. I am sure someone will be along soon with more accurate information.
I have an 11-48 with a Polychoke and it is a grand gun for the money. Mine will shoot any shell you feed it. Rabbit, quail, squirrel, 5-stand, sporting clays- it has been used. Hope you enjoy yours! |

KJ - we have a proliferation of poly's and cutts comp thruout our area . Has been the gun of choice - 1100 with cutts for all our world champ skeeters !! skeet , you are in front of the group and isn't much of a concern at all . In trap , you are standing NEXT to the other guys and it is more annoying . Some still shoot trap with one , and usually gets some bad looks from the other squad guys , though don't know of any direct confrontations . ( my #2 skeet gun is a 16 , 48 sportsman with a cuts - love it !!) |

Thanks for the discussion.
The code on the barrel is DXX which I think is 1951 (only 4 years younger than me if true). It’s holding up much better than I am.
Next use will be a lodge hunt in SD in March (if I get a kitchen pass). Two years ago we were in shirtsleeves in the afternoon; last year we had wind chill of -6 and the birds were hiding in someone’s barn. |
