Lanber Choke ID

bigjedd · February 20, 2005, 08:23 AM

Hi all
I am a newbie from the land downunder and hope you maybe able to help with my query.
I have a Lamber 2097 sporting clay 12ga which was handed down from a deceased friend's estate. Unfortunately there is no handbook with the gun.
Would anyone know which choke settings the Marks on the choke inserts relate to.

A quick Google search turned up the following information on Lanber, taken from the Website of Bob Day's R&D Custom Barrel Service in Pico Rivera, California (www.americhoke.com):

G'day Mate!

Ok, here's the deal on Lanber chokes: (by notch)

1- Full
2- Improved Modified (aka Skeet 11)
3- Modified
4- Improved Cylinder

I too have a 2097 (30") and it's a great gun for the money, at least here in the states. I realize this doesn't do you much good "down under", but here's the website for Lanber here in the U.S.

Thank you guys for the information on chokes.
I actually came accross a web sight which listed the choke markings and relevant sizes.

Rut you were spot on. I have a choke tube that has no markings at all on it but after measuring the inside diam I believe it to be skeet AKA cyl.

Anyway I am shooting in a sc comp this weekend ( the first in twelve months since dislocating my right shoulder ) With the info you have given me I will be able to select a couple of chokes to do the job.
thanks once again for your help.
