    Answer


    The older brownings use an asterisk (*) or a set of them to determine the choke of the barrel. (one) * is Full, (Two) ** is Modified, and (three) *** is improved cylinder. This marking is usually located on the side of the barrel along the same line as the mfg's name.
    More complete answer BROWNING CHOKES AND THEIR CODES (ON REAR LEFT-SIDE OF BARREL)
    '*' designates full choke (F).
    '*-' designates improved modified choke (IM).
    '**' designates modified choke (M).
    '**-' designates improved cylinder choke (IC).
    '**$' designates skeet (SK).
    '***' designates cylinder bore (CYL).
