weaver choke on Model 12
Buddy of mine has an old Model 12, 20 gauge. Plain barrel. Ran serial number. Was built in 1942. Has a choke attachment on it. Not a Cutts or Poly. It is a Weaver Choke. Has the numbers 1 and 2 on it. Suppose one choke setting is tighter than another. Anybody got any information on the Weaver Choke? What about the numbers 1 and 2? How much would it detract from the overall value of the gun? Please advise.

I picked up a winchester model 12, in 20 gauge. going to get it spruced up. It has a weaver choke set up. I unscrewed the 1/2 choke from the base. Threads in great shape. How do I remove the choke base? I want to reblue the gun. Don't think the aluminum choke and base can be on the gun while that happens. What can I do with the choke and base for recoloring? 0 -
The Weaver Choke was a device to reduce recoil and give a selection of five different choke tubes. They were: XFC (extra full choke), FC (full choke), 3/4 (3/4 choke), 1/2 (1/2 choke), 1/4 (1/4 choke) and S for skeet.
You would have to measure up the choke bores to determine which chokes you have.0 -

Thanks for the information. I did some web searching and found out a bit about the Weaver chokes. Wondering now if the set up is steel or aluminum.0 -
