I just got a 24s-C 22mag 20ga there is no serial number, and no markings as to the choke. Know when would it have been made?
Bluing, and heat treating are excellent almost new condition. Stock needs refinished "something really ugly put on it, but no dents or gouges". Paid $325 for it.

I recall reading somewhere that they were generally Imp Cyl choke, but wouldn't put any real faith in that without more expert backup.

I know mine is tighter than IC. If I was to guess I would say mod or little tighter. So imp mod surely could be what I have as well.

My fuzzy memory is saying most are Modified , but the Camper C-models are Cylinder bore.

Cylinder bore is correct. Ref: Bill West page 18.6
I have an extra copy in new condition if anyone is interested.

The literature I've seen advertised everything but the 24C as full choke, however.....
My 24C series N measures full choke.
My 24V series B measures modified.
My 24S-C (like yours) measures right in-between improved modified and full.
Though these measurements were taken in a non-professional way with a vernier caliper, so I dunno how accurate they are.

I just posted a choke chart from Parkerguns.org. I measured my 24V and based on that
chart mine is a Improved Cylinder.

My 24V-A measures .589 like CW's. I have found a variety of charts where that spec varies from tighter than Full to Improved Modified so I can't label it. Tight is probably as close as it gets. Or maybe Fully Improved Modified  |

New guy here again. After reading this, a couple of things come to mind. Are all of these guns bored to the identical size? I'm talking bore size measured in the full length of the bore, not just the muzzle end. If not, then the ID of the bore at the muzzle doesn't mean a bunch. Parker's idea of choke ID is based upon its relationship to their standard bore dimension. Savage most likely had a slightly different standard bore diameter for any given gauge. In fact, if I had to guess, I'd bet that as production methods changed through the years, so too did the standard size of the bore produced. Since choke is determined more by the difference between bore and muzzle ID's, and the smaller the gauge, the less difference required to make a discernible difference in pattern, on .410's and 20's, a little could go a long way. My apologies if the actual standard bore diameter is well known and this is considered common knowledge to those who are familiar with these guns, but I'm rather curious as to what the "standard" measurements, in .001", actually are. If this isn't well defined or known, it would be interesting to find out. It not only would tell if any changes through the years were enough to make a difference, but could also be a tool used by collectors to know if a lot of metal had been removed by previous owners due to pitting and poor maintenance, before buying......
