Lord Geordie Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Well chuffed Found a set of Beretta Chokes on the e bay sales pages "brand new with wrench" £25 a result. They arrived this morning and they fit the escort PERFECT so now i can put the Escort chokes where they belong. The Skip My mate can have em for spares for his i guess but the beretta chokes are MUCH better quality SO to recap Beretta Chokes fit the Escort and replace the naff ones that come as standard LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 are you sure this is safe? i havent got a clue about different manufactors chokes, but would imagine they all use different threads, thread lengths, different bores (meaning the beretta half might actually be a 1/4 or 3/4 in relation to your bore) if its fine then good find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo_05 Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 No if it's threaded for mobil chokes then it will be bored for mobil chokes, they don't mix threads with constrictions for obvious reasons. Great buy geordie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted March 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hi Bud Thread pitch and width of thread and TPI are the same as is Depth of choke and they sit right in the gun with the normal small step that even the stock chokes have. The ONLY Difference is Quality i will post a few pics in a mo when i resize them LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted March 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 The Silver Choke is the Beretta and the Black one is !! Well it's the **** one As i say the Beretta chokes fit the escort perfectly 3 chokes AND the key for £25 can't mumble LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the last engineer Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) what was wrong with the stock tubes LG ?? , i can understand the upgrade,just curious as to why ? bad patterning or something else Martin :*) oops just found your first thread sorry Edited March 22, 2006 by the last engineer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted March 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Not to worry Yeah the Stock chokes are naff tinny thin and not concentric They are as rough as a badgers *** and to be honest i don't know why they don't do the job on them properly Seems a tad off when they make an effort on the gun it's self and make a monkey out of the chokes The beretta ones are FAR more what i would have expected as standard the quality speaks for it's self LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the last engineer Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 with you there, the quality of mobile and optima chokes are top notch as well as the Browning invector plus standards and after markets. still trying to come up with the perfect choke combo (materials that is) for my guns, still favouring 17-4, oh well shoot on shoot on Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mygun Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Hi guys Beretta chokes dont fit the escort perfectly they are a little to small , they may go in , but are slightly different , so be warned . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) have a google about and even search on here and there are a number of stories of hatsan barrels blowing up due to the owner fitting beretta chokes in them , the tolerances of the escort threads is a little dodgy and means the beretta chokes come loose easily , shot then gets behind it bulging or spitting the barrel . You have been warned so keep checking the chokes are tight . Edited June 28, 2013 by fenboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Hi guys Beretta chokes dont fit the escort perfectly they are a little to small , they may go in , but are slightly different , so be warned . Indeed! That's why I NEVER fitted any to my Hatsans! I did however fit a full choke that shoots great patterns!!!!!!!!!

B B Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Berretas or benellis in 12ga that use mobil chokes are all over the place on bore diameter anything from .721 to .727 in my experience, and in the specs are normaly listed at .722 which is i supose berreta going on the average bore size in their lotery of churned out bore sizes. Now you need to take this in to account when working out if the mobil chokes will be safe to use in the escort or not. I have no idea what the nominal bore size is of a 12ga escort but the 20ga hatsan escort has a nominal bore size of .635 thats 20 though over the general usa bore size for 20ga of .615 so the escort 20ga is in fact backbored / overbored and is in fact an 18 bore not a 20. Now you need to establish the bore size on the escort and then measure the lead at base of the choke tube this must be larger than the bore if it is you are ok if not you need to rethink your plan. The 20ga hatsan is listed on the carlson choke tube website has utilising huglu choke tubes and yet the 12ga is down as a mobil compatable gun, so it could be the 12ga escort is indeed a small bored 12 like the mobil choked berretas, but you need to check this out before you use the gun.

bostonmick Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I would throw the gun and keep the chokes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmy1146 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Beretta mobil chokes fit fine. Had two diffierent brands of beretta mobil chokes fit in my first gen hatsan. Choke height is the same as the factory hatsan chokes. My barrel has never bulged or blown up as many people said it would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B B Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Well there is your answer for the 12ga escort obviously then the Beretta tubes are oversise enough at the lead in at the base of the tube to leave no step. But not relative here directly but any one reading this take note of what i said on the 20ga escort they are .635 not .615 as std sami spec sizes for nominal bore size, bear this in mind when buying chokes for them, a mobil choke that screws in could be a problem, on the 20ga buy Huglu compatable chokes these are to the escort size bore. Choke manufacturers list them as Huglu choke threads but i understand mobils will screw in be carefull. Edited June 29, 2013 by B B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Well after many years of use the Mobil chokes worked flawlessly in my Escort! And also my Huglu Semi Auto! I am still using the Huglu now and sold the Escort and not had any complaints I now use Extended mobil chokes in the Huglu as well as the flush fit and again over about four years with no issues. The issues with Bulging I read about was in relation to the STOCK chokes that Hatsan supply and NOT the Mobil. I am not saying there would have been a difference if the mobil were fitted. However I noticed the Stock chokes would shoot loose on my Hatsan. The mobil chokes would NOT. Personal experience!!!!!!
