About the chokes, unless you are shooting quail, learn to shoot. Or woodcock, or Ruffed Grouse, or early season pheasants, or put and take pheasants, or skeet. Yea, show me your talents shooting woodcock at 20 yards with a full choke 20. Love to see that demonstration. Perhaps you can teach us all how to do that? Best, Ted

About the chokes, unless you are shooting quail, learn to shoot. About the fit at the head of the stock, find a very talented stock person to refit it. What an ignorant and dickish comment, “learn to shoot”. WTF. More trash advice from our resident “I was ready to write the check” guy. Never mind him JC....it’s your gun, you do whatever your heart desires to it to make it work for YOU.

Great posts guys!
I'll heed Bill's advise :-)
I'll try "polishing" softly with some mild abrasive and see what happens.
Some friends are about to get some reamers (any recommendations) and I think I'll open the bottom barrel.
Or maybe both (1/4 and 3/4).
BTW my tubes are not Böhler Antinit, they are Special Chrome Moly Steel. And the
bores are mirror bright and totally unblemished.
Again thanks for the amusing and informative posts!
JC

JC,
I don't think Beretta started using the Bohler barrels until around 1958 or 1959. What date was you gun manufactured?

Have an older AS20E that has a case hardened frame. Must have been built for Europe because it has sling swivels. English stock. Barrels are short (slightly less than 26"). My favorite barrel length is 26" so it works great for me. Don't know whether slightly less than 26" was a standard European length. Regardless, I like it. Stands out in a crowd. Congrats on your gun. Very cool.

Sorry I offended, but I have an idea that would work for me. 28 gauge Briley tubes would be more expensive than drilling out the chokes. However then you have a tight choked 20 when you need it. Briley won't put screw chokes in your 28 gauge tubes, but may be able to get you a little choke. I had a great ASEL 12 made with true 28" barrels from Abercrombie and Fitch. I traded it off when I bought a nice SO2 and didn't think I needed two light 12 gauge Berettas. I would trade the SO2 for the ASEL any day, now.
