Hi folks...My first purchase was a 1957 (or so) Mossberg 295 12ga bolt action. Identical to this one: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/761703115
I want to use it for turkey hunting this year, and was recommended to get a full choke. Warning, I'm new to shotguns, so don't know more about chokes than what I read about today My shotgun has something screwed on the end just like the one at the link above. I assume this is the choke, or a choke cap or something. I have the same one as in that GunBroker ad, and when I unscrew it, there's nothing inside or in the barrel. It doesn't look like the poly choke I've been reading about.
So is this my choke, or just part of it? It doesn't seem to reduce barell diameter much if it all.
I've found some stores online, but 295 parts seem hard to come by. Anyone know of a good local shop or collector who might have other chokes for this?
Anyone know if a 185, 195 choke fits on a 295?
Thanks!
