Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Mossberg 185 is a series of bolt-action shotguns in 20-gauge, produced by O.F. Mossberg & Sons in New Haven, Connecticut, between 1947 and 1959. The 185 series is split into two categories: the D-series and the K-series, each with unique characteristics. The 185D models are equipped with three external choke tubes (Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full) that attach to the outside of the barrel, differing from modern shotgun chokes. In contrast, the 185K models feature a C-LECT adjustable choke and a ported barrel. The C-LECT choke operates similarly to a drill chuck; rotating the outer tube in one direction threads it further onto the barrel, causing the multi-petaled inner tube to open. Rotating the outer tube in the opposite direction forces the inner tube's petals closer together, allowing for smooth adjustments between Cylinder and Full choke settings.
