See any differences? There are men holding shot guns in the photos from the 1960’s
I notice in the picture of Obama firing a shotgun that the shotgun barrel appears to be ported in an unusual fashion. Note the plum of powder smoke back a way from the muzzle.
The porting seems to be further back on the barrel than I have seen before. It also looks like the port exhaust a bit to the right of the barrel.
Does anyone else find this a bit unusual?

Not unusual on the range. A trap gun sould have a choke and is sometimes ported for ‘delicate’ shooters. Especially in .28 guage.
But, unusual for a double barrel skeet gun to only have one choke installed.

It would be more unusual to put them where they would be blocked by the choke cylinders (not to mention counter productive)

The smoke rising from the port....it has no velocity, just gently wafting upwards.
