I bought a used Mossberg 835 about 12 years ago and it had this choke. (See attachment, if I attached correctly) I have no idea what brand choke tube this is or what constriction. There is no writing or etching anywhere on the tube.

I have not shot the tube very much. I first bought a Primos TightWad, then a Primos JellyHead and now I am shooting a Hevi-Shot Tube .676 with 3" # 5 Long Beard Mag.

Any Ides?

Thanks in Advance!!

Looks like the golden standard of Mossberg Accu-Mag chokes to me, the Star Dot .676.  It shoots lead and hevi better than almost any other choke and truly shined in the 835s.  Love mine.

What they said. Either stardot or the colonial arms version of it.

I have one. It's a star-dot. Still using it to this day.

There was a member here awhile back that did a pretty in-depth investigation on the differences between them. It was like csi o.g. lol! Pretty interesting discussion, i think it went like 5 or 6 pages.

I'm just curious how many people have messaged you trying to buy it.

Looks like a star dot to me.  Keep it, they love lead and hevi 13 7's.

Thanks for all the replies! I have not had much luck with this tube. I think I need to pattern more and try it with different lead loads.

Thanks

As others have said, it looks like a star dot to me.  I have one in my 12 gauge 870.  It always shot really good with lead.

My 20" 835 liked the ssx the best with just about anything I tried in it.

Looks like an original Star dot to me also. The newer model had vertical lined knurling on the end. That tube should throw great hunting patterns.
