We have had a Mossberg 835 w/ 24" bbl in the family now for some time. It's killed a few turkeys, and we even put a mag extension on it and ran it in 3-gun for a brief while. No complaints.
Recently, I more closely examined the 3 choke tubes that came with the gun. All are marked Mossberg Accuchoke and I believe they are factory tubes. Two tubes of blue or matte finish are easily explained:
-turkey full, lead shot only, extended
-full, .730, flush mount
But #3 has me confused. It is of what appears to be stainless construction (shiny) and has the Mossberg Accuchoke markings, flush mount, but then lists two choke designation:
-Mod- T&F steel
-IC- lead (it may say "all lead", I can't recall)
So the IC marking is understood, improved cylinder with lead shot. But the Modified marking has me wondering, what is meaning of T&F? I double checked the markings with a magnifying glass.
Tungsten? Full? Clearly the tube is steel rated modified....but what does T&F stand for?
