You must be getting confused with Highlander Sports.  The owner of Colonial Armns told me that is when the copying of their choke tube probably started.  And it may even be like Mike said the ones that have straight grooves at the top were copied as well.

Go read this. 

Remember Highlander went out of business in like 2003 or 2004.

Where are you seeing a px on the Pittman chokes?  No chokes that I am aware of have a serial number on the choke tube itself.

This is the part were i am confused.
Did Colonial market there chokes as stardot. Or did "stardot" (wich very well may  be walmart since they  were one of the largest retailers of the infamous star dot. like Ozark trail for there camping stuff) Have colonial manufacture there chokes. If this is the case at anytime stardot could have legally found a new manufacturer for any number of reasons. Its hard to believe that another company would actually steal the stardot name. I mean why not make a new name its not like they invented the choke just a design.

Maybe we need to ask preston and see what he knows.

Now I seee what you mean. 

Ok which one of you guys wants to call Traci Denson and ask her these questions.  I took the hit for us last time.  I really don't want to take it again.  You will see what I mean once you talk to her.

How do we reach her. Do I call colonial and just ask.

Grobec, I wish we could tell you who made it( beside stardot). Anyway how does she shoot.

With Winchester HV 3 1/2" #6 consistently shoots @ 126 in a 10" at 40yds.
with an even pattern. Never measured the 20". Shot one shell of hevi shot Mag Blend and got around the same #'s.
