Dave T Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Hi All, Has anyone got any idea what the screw dimensions are in the yellow circle? Or where is the best place to get one? I spent this morning changing barrels whenever I opened the gun Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myhvslr Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 You could try GMK . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Give Dennis a ring at UK Gun Repairs he'll help you. Looks after the lads off here very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utectok Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Might be wrong but that looks like a screw fitted to stop the shooter accidentally switching barrels during mount. This is looks to me as an addition post sale ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave T Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 GMK wouldn't deal unless a gunsmith ordered it (it is a standard fitment for single barrel disciplines) I'll try Dennis though. If anyone else has got one, I only need to know the screw diameter and I can match it (I reckon about 9BA, but I've got no odd numbers ) Thanks anyway btw utectok - I'd be very worried if I could switch barrels during mount (unless it's with my nose) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utectok Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Oh never seen that addition before?! I occasionally knock the barrel selector when putting of the safety and mounting quickly for rough shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guinty1 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 From the photo it would appear if there was a screw in place it would lock the barrel selector in place, I would say that this has been post production. I have owned a few beretta's have never seen this on any of them or on any beretta's my friends own. Quite odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave T Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) All, For anyone interested in the outcome, I discovered the following: The exact screw required is an M2.5 x 8mm grubscrew - I used a stainless steel variant Barrel locks like these are common on trap guns :blink: Edited July 18, 2012 by Dave T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Might be wrong but that looks like a screw fitted to stop the shooter accidentally switching barrels during mount. This is looks to me as an addition post sale ? Actually much more likely to be accidentally knocked over whilst pushing the lever across when opening it. I've had a couple of Beretta guns serrated selector heads filed flat myself to stop this very thing. The screw option is obviously a trap only solution.

utectok Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Oh yeah you might be right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
