Beretta is probably in the top three of the most widely sold shotgun brands globally, if not at the top of that list. I am pretty curious how they would compare to any other manufacturer in a calculation of " issues in percentage(s) of guns sold", as I think the percentage would be far lower...

Can't wait to hear more affectionate terms for our beloved equipment. It's hard to translate 'ours' from across the Channel, but I'll give it a go. On the skeet field it's not uncommon to see shooters with a small towel hanging from their vest, as rain is as common here as it is in the UK. I...

@ OP - I own a DT11 Black with the carbon rib and can't fault it. DT11's come from a different part of the factory (the same part that does the SO-series and such) where handfitting of parts and individual inspection are SOP. I think there's a TGS vid on the Beretta premises and the different...

And the missus asking why my workbench smells like week old banana-peels. As the others have said, anything that could cause an issue with soldering would (a) not be sold as a gun cleaner without severe warnings and (b) could likely not be handled in your average gun-room / study / living...

It does seem the UK is at the wrong end of that stick. By comparison, the latest prices I see in my email from a 'free delivery >2.000 shells' supplier (in the Netherlands) is EUR 270 / 1K Fiocchi F Steel (GBP 232 / 1K), being among cheapest option, and EUR 321 / 1K for my preferred cartridges...

Thats a great looking keepsake.

Looks the part! Am curious as to whether you will have a go at doing your own checkering, and if so, whether the laminate is harder to checker than regular wood. Mind you, the compliments are from the perspective of one of those garish "skeletonized adjustable stock"-user, so take them at their...

Try GRS stocks, they do laminates like that in various styles for pretty much all brands of bolt action rifles and mpre.

I shoot both a 692 and DT11 and use 1/4 and 1/4 in both guns, both for practicing skeet and the odd round of sporting, compak and whatever else is on offer. Come to think of it, all skeet is "edge on" save for stations 1, 7 and 8 :giggle:. I'll change to skeet chokes for comps in skeet, but...

It took me a while to realise you mean a car manufacturer from Torino, Italy. I was scratching my head: Failure to Initiate Acceptable Treatment of complaints? 😊

Little late to that party, are we? Wish I'd taken that advice a year or two ago. Congratulations on the Invictus. Haven't shot one, but they sure look good. It's nice to have a thing you use and love as a keepsake. Now if I can only get my mother to buy me a gun for that reason...

Assuming the use of proper high-temp silver solder, the melting point would be in the high 700 degrees Celsius, if not higher. If I was to shoot my barrels that hot, I'd worry about the forend catching fire, as google tells me that wood ignites at around 300 degrees Celsius. I don't want to...

As a thought exercise (as I have no experience with adjustable ribs) I would assume the option to adjust is used until you have the sight picture that works for you, and then leave it be until adjustment is required. Same as is best with adjustable combs and stocks (with which I have plenty of...

Hi Mikey, That could be because of the screw holding the action together (the one accesible by removing the safety switch) coming loose. In itself not much of a problem, and easily fixed. It's worthwile to check this once a year or so and if in doubt, replacing the original loctite. Don't ask...

My guess is the aforementioned U shaped locking bolt not retracting properly, which could be something as simple as a scoured surface, burr or anything that doesn't belong in there preventing normal operation. Knocking it on the floor could be loosening it enough to retract in a snap, only to...

First time seeing this. Weird one, as I've seen a share of Berettas living hard lives but the barrels leaving the monoblock? I wonder how that happens. I can only imagine the soldering being really sub par, but giving way at both barrel and chamber end is pretty stunning. Can you show us...

Or at least their spirit 🫣

Several even, as far as I know. @JoostB and I have met by chance on a Dutch ground too. Similar to Joost I started getting into clay shooting well after lead was banned and I’m simply used to shooting steel. The grounds where I shoot all collectively tidy the grounds and in doing so collect most...

Never ruin a good con by divulging it to its believers… 😂

The schematic should tell you where to look: here’s one source from the top 5 in google: http://www.berettaweb.com/sezionati/sez_UGB25.htm Behind the breech bolt sounds like a good place to start, but then I don’t own a UGB. Always wanted to shoot one, but they are rare here (though some will...
