I just bought a Springfield model 67 12 ga ser. # A676394 and was wondering if anybody could tell me when is was made? Also how do you tell what choke it is as it is not marked on on the barrel? Any info is appreciated. Terrill

  You could use a dial caliper and measure the muzzle. Choke charts are in every book for reloading shotshells. Or you could pattern the gun at 40 yards in a 30 inch circle and compare to the choke charts. This method gives the actual choke to your load not the generic one for diameter. Your gun while not top of the line is a good serviceable unit.

  "Also how do you tell what choke it is ".........or you could try the old 'dime' trick. try to put a dime in the muzzel, if it doesn't go in all the way, it's full choke; if it does, it's mod. or I.C.

  Was going to suggest that. Guess that dates me as a lot of people have no idea when I say that.[:I]....Anyway,,your gun is a utility shotgun in the 100-150 range. Stevens Springfield with hardwood stocks if I remember correctly/

  All info is appreciated. with calipers and the dime trick the choke appears to be full. Now is there any way to tell when it was made. Again thanks to all.
