Hello all,
I inherited an oldish (early 80's version) Remington 870 Wingmaster from an uncle of mine who passed away. My father doesn't own a gun, so I didn't grow up with guns (as this question will make clear). This year, though, I'd like to try turkey hunting. I'm planning to take the gun out this weekend to actually fire it; as far as I know, it hasn't been fired in 30+ years.
My gun has a small "Full" stamped on the barrel....does that mean it's full choke? I'd also very much like to use this gun for trap/skeet, grouse, and some pheasant hunting...I've seen chokes at the local sporting goods store, but can I add them on a gun that's already full choke (if that's what the "Full" stamped on the barrel actually means)?
I apologize if these are dumb questions, so thanks for any patience you might need in responding.
Carmike
