@etonwick Just as a counterpoint to the above. I shoot with many people who use semi auto's some prefer them some for softer recoil etc. I can honestly say I cannot remember the last time I saw someone swing a barrel around or move onto or off the stand without a flag in the action. If anyone...

I was due, last week, to have the B725 looked at but the 692 has broken. Forend fell off...... the 'rocker' adjuster has a broken part and I'm waiting for Beretta to deliver the new part. Hopefully have it sorted by next week and then I can look at getting the B725 adjusted. Still thinking...

For me it's more about cast. On my Beretta which has cast my eyes are pretty much level. On my B725 I have to cant my head over to look straight down the rib and that means my left eye lifts up and tries to take over. Hence my recent thread on bend it or fit an adjustable comb. Leaning towards...

As long as the adjustable comb allows me to move my cheek across enough without the 'ridge' pressing in then I'll be happy. Gun up I don't have an issue as I can make myself fit, it's gun down where I notice the offset and need that little extra cast/comb adjustment. Be interesting to see how...

Thanks for the advice. The adjustable stock will be for my B725. My 692 fit me me perfectly, it has a little cast added. I'll take both to the fitting and then decide. At the moment I'm thinking just add an adjustable comb.

Good point about the added weight, not really thought about that. My gun is a tad nose heavy and I guess it might put the point of balance further back and possibly make is swing a lot quicker. Hmmm! I'll add balance into my question list - thanks

Thanks for the replies, I'm leaning towards an adjustable comb. I was recommended Simon Willmore at Doverage earlier today. Anyone used his services? I understand you can post just the stock and he does excellent work with a turnaround within a week......tbc of course, not spoken with him yet.

Thoughts and experiences please. I have 2 o/u's a Beretta 692 2nd hand with quite a bit of cast that mounts perfectly for me and a B725 sporter that is straight and unless I cant my head I am looking down the left hand side. Would you have the stock bent or would you make it into an adjustable...

Thanks, that is very useful I will get my guns checked. I don't suffer at all from recoil but I get muzzle rize on the Browning.

Can anyone explain the importance of pitch to me please. I have shot a Browning 725 as my main clay gun, but I recently bought a mint condition Beretta 692 just because I have never shot a Beretta o/u apart from the odd 'go' with a friends gun. The 692 has more pitch, the bottom of the stock...

I've shot a few hundred Hull Comp X 24g and they were fine

That could be so dangerous if another cartridge had been fired, scary

I think I warming towards CCL. Remove wood, clean with some meths, light going over with 00 00 wire wool then a coat of CCL, very thin, then 2 more coats a week apart. I hear you have to properly rub in the coats to get your hand/palm warm.  My only concern is a knot in the wood which is...

Interesting re tung oil. I have stripped, sanded and oiled our teak dining room table with tung oil. It looks really good. Tung oil might be an option then.  Hmm

so add oil and not wax is the message i'm hearing. CCL, linseed and Tru oil - looks like i need to have a look at these. I also think it needs a gentle rub down before oiling. Not shot it yet, I'm taking it out this afternoon for a practice, as this is my 1st Beretta it will be interesting to...

I have just picked up what feels like a sleeper gun. A 2015 692 in new condition, it looks like it has been stored as it came in the case wrapped as a new gun. My question - the wood feels very dry and there are some open pores so what's best to feed it with. My inclination was just a good...

GMK are the UK distributors and have been very helpful for parts https://www.gmk.co.uk/

I sold my semi auto so I would just use an o/u  - the one gun philosophy. But, I still like semi autos and I got really fed up with picking up cartridges. So decided to get rid. Thankfully I have never seen a serious problem with semi auto users, quite a few of my friends use them, they are...

Personally i don't mind if they change the name but why? Is it really necessary and will it attract new people? Before retirement I managed several large corporate business transformation projects and that made my 1st thought -how much will a name change cost? Not just in hardware, paper...
