These notches are a code to allow you to determine the
choke designation while the tube is installed. Rim
notches refer specifically to lead shot. Use the charts on
page 21 to cross-reference from lead to steel, and
determine the appropriate tubes for your ammunition and
hunting/shooting situation.
Several choke tubes are supplied with your shotgun.
The choke tubes listed are also available as accessories.
Remember, WinChoke, Standard Invector and
Invector-Plus tubes are not interchangeable. Invector-Plus
tubes are for Winchester shotguns with back-bored
barrels only. Before removing or installing tubes, or
reading the rim notch code, make sure your shotgun is
completely unloaded.
