I saw a Winchester Model 12 shotgun on the auction side with a barrel marked as having a Cylinder choke. How common are these and do they bring a premium over full or modified chokes?

  Sounds like the typical 40's/50's skeet gun. Didn't EVERYONE own a
  Mod-12 Winch. at one time or another ?

  "CYL" bore barrels were relatively common on the Model 12, more so on the shorter barrel lengths. They do bring a slight premium over a FULL choked gun, but the condition of the gun is the primary factor in determining the collector value.
