DT11 Trap

[jasper]

Two years ago I bought a Dt11 32inch, was sold as one of the new lighter Dt11's I think the barrels where stamp 1540 :???: , could be mistaken

serial number( or first two numbers) or date code  ( two letters)if you don't mind so we can build a reference for others. seeing as dealers and gmk won't enlighten us.

Perhaps other DT11 owners would add to the data by adding their own guns serial number or date code and barrel weight and length.

thanks.

Evening. Ive since sold the gun so cant check the barrel weight, the serial number was DT07639W

I have checked the weight on the replacement its stamped at 1460, it is a 32 inch black edition

Hope that helps

Aye nearly as quick as popping a new spring into a Perazzi trigger... except the need for a smith to do it? ................. that's a brandling with two nibblets of strawberry flavoured sweetcorn fished on a waggler with a fluorocarbon hook length size 10 wide gape high temper hook... ground baiting with chopped brandlings hemp and sweetcorn ... you are as good as hooked

That's what I always say too.  Great minds, etc I suppose, eh?

Further to the OP ,looked at gmk website  this morning and the only DT11 listed on there is DT11L. Which I think is rather strange. Even if you have no stock you would presumably still have the other DT11's in the shop window for when new stock arrives. Unless you're not getting anymore........

The bore size was tightened back a tad as well as heavier on the later guns.

Or just do a Pellelio and get your own tubes fitted, as he has always done except when they were new in 2012.....

If funds allowed I would go to Italy and buy one over there sh, as they are sensible money and if required re stock it, most Italian (as in made for the home market) are drastically different in dimensions to the stuff GMK try and push on everyone over here...

Can lay my hands on at least a dozen at sub 31/2K after a quick search on the dealers sites and private sales adds over there.  Mostly late model ones as well. Now is the time to buy sh in Italy, as most shooters trade the clay guns in for the game season, then vice versa for the clay season.

Would I buy one, yes as long as no ASE 90's with the rings on a black action were not available....

There is an ASE 90 that does the rounds on the stands down here Andy that has had more owners than there are holes in a tea bag. It is a lovely looking gun really nice wood but I don't know anybody who has kept it for more than four months... don't ask me why. I shot with another who had a pair of ASE 90's one skeet the other a trap gun. The trap gun would not eject any cartridge which had high brass... which is exactly the sort of cartridge you would shoot through a gun of that quality... the number of numpties that stood and told the owner it was nothing to do with the gun it was the cartridges that were to blame...F'n laughable some of these guys were engineers too! I took four different high quality cartridges and fired them through my gun and ejected them the took the ASE put a cart with a 6mm head  in and shot it then ejected it fine then took the four cartridges I had just shot through my Perazzi and every one of them stuck in the breech as it opened... and the reason was something to do with the cartridges not the gun.

 Hi John, Seen that a few times, we did a chamber measurement on a couple and they were as tight as .025mm smaller than the norm, two minutes with the cylinder hone sorts all ills...

Has an ASEL and a Gold, the gold was easy to shoot, the L was a pig, needed re stocking and was fine if you shoot quick, (which I do), but wasnt made to ride the targets...

Had loads of 90's through my hands, but always managed to sell them the day they arrived from Italy.

This 90 has charmed so many buyers but I don't know one who has been able to shoot the gun and I have no idea why. It is a really good looking gun the wood is great and it has a really nice adjustable stock but the thing has just been sold on so many times.

My current 692 trap is stamped at kg1560? 30inch.

Would there be much difference in that to the DT11?

Trying to justify getting one!

I guess that they don"t give it enough time.. I have an ASE90 but tend to shoot the DT10 I have. The reason being that at this time of year the ASE is just too nice to use and get wet etc and I just can"t bring myself to take it out. The problem then comes in the spring when comps start up again and I carry on with the DT as I'm more familiar with it.

Back to my original post spoke to Malcom at GMK my gun had just arrived he checked it and said the timing was out it was trying to eject too soon.

By the way anyone tested the DT11 black which weighs less back to back with the standard DT11 ?

No but I'd love to find one I can have a proper go with, the old one gets criticized for the right reasons but underneath it all there's a massively capable gun which even as a non engineer I'd pitch as being as good as absolutely anything out there. I have a feeling the new one with a higher comb than normal would be a world beater.

Will check whats stamped on my new DT11 sporter barrels tonight/tomorrow and also weigh them. I don't think anyone knows at what serial number beretta changed the weight as its not like they came out and advertised a new improved mk2 version.

For the OP talk to Matt Morgan at Premier Guns. They are a premium berett dealer and are over there every 2-3 months with customers and will probably know more than GMK. The custom stocks they do are mates to actions as a full custom gun from beretta is 9 months delivery time.

The difference between my two is very marked, The BE feels far more balanced and ligher in the hands, much less of chore to tote round on a hundred bird shoot and less wear and tear on my frozen shoulders

My first DT11 also had the ejector issues and needed a trip to GMK, they ended up replacing the bottom ejector, was without it for a month

 

[Wonko the Sane]

Don't know if anyone mentioned it but weight alone is not the total answer.  A 30"/1.5kg barrel may feel nothing like a 32"/1.5kg barrel.  And a 1.6kg can feel WAY different.  And a 1.5kg with factory tubes can feel way different than a fixed choke  the same weight(don't ask me how I know that).  And rib length, and, and ..........  And that all adds up to the apparent weight you feel in the front hand.

Lots of variables so beware

 

[P1Fanatic]

The barrels on my 32" sporter are stamped 1540g and my highly accurate kitchen scales say they weigh 1532g with the chokes in.

 

[jasper]

The barrels on Mrs jasper's are stamped at 1550grm .32". Schnabel forend weighs 28grm less than London style also. Serial No in the 7000's. Date code 2015.
