Beretta Shotgun Thread Sizes Standard Field / Semi-Auto / Over-Under Front Bead: 2.6 mm (M2.6 x 0.45) Alternative / Older / Intermittent Fit: 3-56 or 2.5 x 0.45 mm (some mid-beads or specialty ribs) Factory 3mm Options: Some specific replacement beads labeled as 3mm exist for select lines, though 2.6mm is standard for ribs. Browning Thread Sizes 3x56: 12 gauge Citori Sporting Clays, Cynergy, Gold, Silver, and Superposed. 3x0.5mm: Classic A-5 (plain and vent), Maxus, and "New" A-5. 5x40: 16, 20, 28, and .410 gauge Citori field models. 2.6mm: Certain specialized models like the Citori 725 Trap. https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home

Not sure I understand the problem here. If Beretta beads are available, and I think they are, why worry about matching threads? Just order an original. May God bless America and those who defend her.
