Super Goose, Full or Extra Full choke?

Does anyone know what choke the Super Goose was made with? I've heard, full and extra full. The barrel says mod, but I'm guessing that means model, not referring to the choke.

I'd like to find a copy of the manual, but haven't seen one.

Love the old Marlin waterfowl guns. Looking at the Blue Book of Gun values, there was the Model 55 goose gun (12 gauge) with a 36" full choke. <-- Not extra full.

The Super Goose was the Model 5510. 10 gauge with a 34" barrel. The BB of Gun Values does not disclose what choke on the Super Goose.

With all that... On eBay, there's a "store" that sells replica Hanging Tags (and some other nostalgia type stuff). I did a quick check to see if he had any hanging tags. No tags for the Goose or Super goose, BUT search ebay for "Marlin Super Goose". You'll be surprised at what you might see.

Enjoy,

Sorry I can't help you but just wanted to say I've always thought the bolt action Goose and Super Goose shotguns were a really neat. Once deer hunted around a guy that carried a Goose gun and swore that it paterned buckshot beyond belief. I was never around when he killed anything so I don't know about his claims. I hope you find the info you're looking for. Good luck!
