   Hi Kruza that is some damage to the pellet head.
All rather interesting.

On mine the pellets go through the main barrel with the weight of a cleaning rod.The choke section definitely needs assistance but I did not have much luck finding any measurable difference in head size, the tail flare was always damaged pushing it through.
No discernible deformation on RWS pellets I was using but I could see slight markings from the rifling groves.

AI search came up with a choke option of 20 thou and very difficult to find manufacturers reference.

James from All About Airguns, fires a pellet into a large bucket of water then inspects. The metal loss or deformation through the choke was quite significant.

	If you have the piece of barrel and a grinder could cut and measure. It strikes me as weird. Like they just put a choke half way round. It makes no sense to me, as with a full choke and pushing you would expect it to center as it went through. But that definitely is not centered and I can't see the pellet pushing through that easy if it was if it was angeled. It pushed through easily Might connect the air hose up tomorrow and have a look.
