Internal Choke
The barrel is equipped with interchangeable
internal chokes.
Before leaving the firearm unused for an extended
period, it is advisable to remove, clean and lubri-
cate the internal choke and barrel.
Before performing any type of operation on the
shotgun always ensure that the chamber, carrier
and magazine are completely empty.
(Carefully read the loading and unloading instruc-
tions of the firearms).
WARNING: before using the shotgun, make sure
that the barrel has a choke correctly installed.
WARNING: the internal choke correctly mount-
ed must not stick out of the barrel’s muzzle. Use
only the Benelli internal choke length which cor-
rectly fits the barrel.
To change or clean the internal choke, do the fol-
lowing:
1) Unscrew the internal choke using the special
tool supplied with the firearm, and completely
remove it from its position in the barrel (fig. 56).
2) If the threaded seat of the choke on the barrel
is dirty, clean it.
3) Lubricate the threads of the choke tube, to be
installed in the barrel, with a good quality
choke tube lubricant.
4) Replace the type of choke desired in its place in
the barrel, being careful to insert the threaded
end of the choke inside the barrel before starting
to screw it onto the threads of the barrel (fig. 57).
5) Complete the mounting of the choke by
screwing it in firmly, using the toothed key
(fig. 58).
ATTENTION: a correctly installed choke should
not extend beyond the opening of the barrel.
ATTENTION: before using the firearm, ensure
that the choke tube tool has been removed from
the muzzle of the barrel.
Benelli choke tubes are marked for easy identifi-
cation (fig. 59). Notches on the muzzle end of
each tube allow for quick recognition, even
when the choke tube is installed in the shotgun.
