Carleson's customer service called and worked me through the process to make sure we got the right stuff for my gun. Good folks. Did they say anything about putting anti-seize on the choke tube threads before you screw them in? In my case, I went to the Briley booth during the Grand in 2022 to get chokes for the 686 and the Citori. I brought both shotguns with me….just to be sure. Then I went back to the Grand in 2023 and got chokes for the A400. I didn’t bring the A400 with me. (Yikes!) Both times, I kinda screwed myself. A week before the Grand is the kids’s shoot. That’s when Briley drops the prices on their chokes by 50% or it is a buy one get one half off kinda deal. |

Optima and Optima HP chokes are different. The Optima is found in the older DT10 and 682 line, while the newer HP chokes are in the later model 694 and A400. Though they will thread in just fine, they are not comparable. Beretta says you can damage a barrel by using the wrong chokes. At least this is stated for Beretta chokes. I don’t know about aftermarket chokes. |
