I’m not sure that’s a choke.

Might be an insert to allow you to fire .410 out of a 12.

It is a double barreled shotgun with one barrel over the other.

They either have 2 triggers or a switchable trigger mechanism.

They brake over in the middle to load. They are basically a 2 barrel single shot gun.

Even though the White Hut released the photo, I doubt it is what it says it is.

Yep, but he can order a tank to run over you.

Is that like staying at a Holiday Inn Express?

FUBO!

Zooming in on the picture it appears there is a lot of pixelating around the subject, but I’m no expert in this field.

If Obama needs manly shooting skilz bona-fides, he needs to release a picture of himself shooting a .454 Casull SA Revolver, or some other Very Large Caliber Handgun (.475 Linebaugh would work, too).

One-handed, even.

Only way he was shooting a clay pidgeon in this picture was if the pidgeons were lined up on the ground. It is a photo-shop picture. The truth will come out when experts on photo-shop start weighing in. The Great Black Hunter wouldn’t know the stock of a rifle from the barrel.

He looks about as natural shooting a shotgun gun as he did driving a Voltmobile 50 feet or throwing a baseball.

His sight line also appears to be going through the barrel, not on top of it. Add to that he’s holding it more like a rifle than a shotgun.

He's also standing side on: which means he's firing across his body, which smushes his cheek aganist the stock, and doesn't allow enough length of forestock for a natural grip (his fingers are curved backward).
