WARNING: Never shoot the choke barrel without inserting a choke tube.

Shooting without a choke tube in the barrel is very dangerous, as residues of

lead or debris may become lodged in the thread creating an obstruction within

the barrel. Also, not using a choke tube will damage the threading of the barrel

irreparably and result in irregular shot spread.

Do not alter or modify an existing ﬁ xed choke Beretta barrel for the use of

interchangeable choke tubes. The barrel wall thickness would be too thin to

safely contain the pressure levels generated by shooting.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Clean and lubricate your shotgun any time combustion residue, grease or dirt is

deposited in any of the mechanisms. Cleaning and lubrication of the ﬁ rearm after

each use is the best way of ensuring that the components are protected against

combustion corrosion or rusting from use in humid or salty environments.

At the end of a shooting day, carry out the Routine Maintenance as indicated

below.

WARNING: Always check that the shotgun is unloaded (empty cartridge chamber,

empty receiver, empty magazine). Inspect the ﬁ rearm by looking through the

ejection port, the loading gate and the chamber. If it is not empty, unload it as

instructed in the relevant section. Check that the hammer is decocked.

WARNING: Never point the ﬁ rearm at someone or at hard, ﬂ at surfaces. Always

treat the shotgun as if it were loaded. (See points 1, 2 and 4 of the BASIC

SAFETY RULES).

NOTICE: For Routine Maintenance, simply disassemble it following the

procedures described in the relevant section.

BARREL

• Carefully clean the inside of the barrel with a soft cloth (ﬂ annel) to remove any

combustion residue. If necessary, use a bronze brush or a cloth soaked with

Beretta Gun Oil.

• Thoroughly clean the locking shoulders on the barrel breech.

• Pull a soft, clean, dry cloth through the barrel.

• Lightly lubricate the barrel with a soft clean cloth soaked with Beretta Gun Oil.

• Check the barrel. The barrel and cartridge chamber must be clean and free

from obstructions.

CAUTION: Excess oil or grease obstructing the barrel, even partially, is very

dangerous when ﬁ ring and may cause damage to the shotgun and serious injury

to the shooter and to bystanders. Never spray or apply oil to the cartridges. Use

lubricants properly. You are responsible for the proper care and maintenance of

your ﬁ rearm.
