You see so many long barreled full choke guns because people only had one gun. It needed to be used for everything between deer and doves.

Full choked long barrels were best for buckshot, so that's what most bought for their one gun.

I figure the full chokes were for longer ranges, and the long barrels were needed due to slower burning powders.

I shoot all fixed full in old guns myself. Never got into swapping chokes, patterning and all the hair splitting.
