Well it's gone now.  Maybe they just needed my verification it was a true Star Dot.  LOL!  But I will also tell folks that see these if there is writing on the tube that says Moss 835 or any writing at all it's not an oiriginal Star Dot.

Hey that's probably it. I. Mean your high regard and your pattern pics to prove it made me get a star dot for an 835 only thing is I don't even have a mossberg. But you never know when I may. As for markings I have a stardot for my Win, Rem ans Moss and none of them have any markings. I believe the package has the restrictions.

And here's I thought I had an original... Good thing it only cost me $25

By that I mean it was'nt made by Colonial Arms who made the original Star Dot chokes.

Knurling on the end of one pictured is different from my old original Stardot . Mine has straight lines on the knurled end.

Yeah, I am just glad I didn't pay top dollar on something I thought was made by colonial arms.  It has the original looking package, straight grooves rather than knurled like that one, and says "MOSS 835".

Mine also has the strait lines not the knurled. the back of the package says highlander sports huntsville Alabama.

Colonial Arms made them both ways at the top.  Trust me I have had both.

You got an original Star Dot.  Like I said the one I paid $10 shipped off gunbroker(try beating that price you all)  that I gave to a guy I worked with and one of my 300325 lot # 3.5" Hevi #7 loads said he shot it at 40yds and put 290 in a 9" circle(do the math).  So it shot just like the one I had from what he told me.  That's smokin for a 9" circle.  He told me he could'nt remember if I said 9" or 10" so he went with a 9". 

Now is there anymore questions about 835 Star Dot chokes.

Here's what the original Star Dot choke package looked like to the best of my knowledge on 2 of the 3 835 Star Dot choke I have had.  The last one I bought new but without the package on ebay. 




Now when I spoke to the owner of Colonial Sports on the phone like a year or so ago, she told me that the very first Star Dot chokes were sold as a combo package she believed, but I don't think so.  I think what happened and her memory was vague, was that Highlander also had a rear and front sight combo package sold separately from the Star Dot choke.  And they were listed as Star Dot sight.  Let me show you.  And Highlander did all the packaging on these chokes. 

They looked like this.



And I think they came in a package just like the original Star Dot chokes but the package siad Star Dot Sight.  Sort of like this one but with the dual sight above.
