triscrx Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Just finished reading the manual and getting familiar with her. Fitted 1/4 and 1/2 Chokes and wiped the greasy finish down. I like to put a wood wax/polish on the stock & Woodwork to protect it and bring the colour and pattern out of the wood. Pulled the Boresnake through and gave it a good once over. Snapcaps in and firing pins released Any other top tips before taking a new Shotgun out for the first time. Few Pics I took of the finish: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retromlc Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 not sure about the knot on the top of comb?otherwise nice looking gun,nice engraving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triscrx Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I didn't even spot that little knot until I had it at home. It isn't as noticeable in the flesh I think the camera has made it look more noticeable than it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shropshire_Lad Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Very, very nice! Wood is what it is, no two pieces will ever be the same. As a joiner I spend my life explaining this to people who would rather see perfect man made wall paper look a likes. I'm no different, love to see perfection but the reality is that that kind if wood costs.....BIG TIME!!! Enjoy it, its a beaut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triscrx Posted December 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 I'm scared stiff to mark it I'm sure in time it will get easier. Still not been out with her yet unfortunately its killing me having it upstairs waiting to go out. Off to buy some Snap-caps in a moment to make me feel better.

gsm1968 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 You must be realy patient! I would have been straight out getting it dirty, not at home cleaning. Top tip, Dont wear a metal watch, sratches like a bi7ch. Good advice My pet hate is cartrige belts, only good for scratching your wood on when shooting. Get a good bag.

JRDS Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 I have a 30 inch one of these with the Kick Off. Used it for the last three seasons and can honestly say its the best Shotgun I have owned and I have had a fair few. Mine handles superbly for me and I use the two most open chokes in it and it kills very well because of the superb patterns it throws. Just use it, its a tool and if gets marked its better than having it sat in the cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triscrx Posted December 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) Its not due to me not wanting to get out with it I have been stuck in with my 2 year old daughter today. Managed a walk round my permission with her to see if there was much about but it was quiet anyway so i don't feel too bad. Intend to get over there on Sunday definitely. have a clay shoot on the 16th too Edited December 31, 2010 by triscrx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRDS Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Well you have made a great choice, got mine when they first came out and haven't regretted it for a moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triscrx Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Well you have made a great choice, got mine when they first came out and haven't regretted it for a moment. When were they released out of interest? Taking my sit on clay trap to my permission tomorrow to let 200 or so clays get dusted with the brother in law. Bit of practice before I take to the clay ground in a couple of weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRDS Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 I bought mine from Swillington in November 2008, think the first ones were coming in around the middle of 2008. They handle for me better than the 686/687 series and they are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triscrx Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Managed to get out today with the clay trap and fired 60 Odd cartridges through her. Very pleased not bad results for the 1st outing for a while. Just given it a good clean and it is ready for the next outing in 2 weeks.

RAMMER BURT Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 had mine a year now very good gun if a little on the light side but handles like a dream,i just shot mine straight out of the box with 32g No 6's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triscrx Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Have you ever removed the Extractors / Ejectors? As a matter of routine on all previous shotguns I have removed them after a round of clays and cleaned everything prior to oiling and storing for the next time. Tried to remove them after some clays at the weekend and no joy. Don't know if I am just too anal with weapon cleanliness due to my job (Weapons Engineer) or am I missing something simple. All previous Beretta's I have owned you just push the Extractor in and rotate 45 degrees and lift clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMMER BURT Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 hi fella no your not missing the point i dont think they come out the same on these guns because you can turn them on/off i use mine with them off so i have to take the spent shell out and then put spent shell in my bag these are not based on old beretta's from the past if you read the mags it is a totaly new gun some internals are the same but how it all works is not you can take the gun apart to clean the workings and reassemble in 10 mins i bought my on a wim and its the best beretta i have owned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triscrx Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Yeah I suppose your right ref turning them on/off but still be good to get them out for a good clean from time to time. Thankyou for the reply. No mention of them in the manual which is odd too :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike150 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I bought an SV10 Prevail III with the kick off and gamescene engraving, looks just like this. I went out to look at a few second hand guns with a self imposed limit of £2000 with a view to buying a 682gold e. Ended up buying my as new second hand SV10 for £1950. I'm always a sucker for nice shiny unmarked things! There was nowt wrong with my Beretta Silver pigeon! Why do we do these things?!?!?!?

triscrx Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Had some information today regarding removing the Ejectors / Extractors so I will give it a go at the weekend and get some photo's up for anyone wandering how to do it.

m0t0deb Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 just to clarify, the ejecter selecters have the screw slots facing outwards,press the ejecters (one at a time)on a good solid square edge, use a small screwdriver and push the other end of the ejecter selecter (small hole) the selecter has two small o rings. there are two springs on each side of the ejecters. rebuild is a reversal of this. to turn the ejecters off turn the slots facing inwards. i hope this helps dave atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds very different from other Beretta's so I'm looking forward to seeing the difference. So whilst compressing the Extractor on the table you poke a small screwdriver / Punch into the rear of the Selector housing and this will make the Extractor come out when you release the pressure that is applied whilst forcing down?
