I am confused. Could you expound on exactly what are you finding unusual? The extra full turkey is reported (when I asked Benelli a couple of years ago at least) to be .678. The full choke is different (larger) than an extra full and it possibly could be .695 (I don't know what it is supposed to be for sure). I must be missing what you are talking about.

Hey, thanks. The Ithaca deal sounds pretty good. In fact I just emailed them to see if I could get an unfinished one. I have had really good luck with Brownell's AlumaHyde II. It is a good hard, durable finish and looks great when its done. Comes in a lot of different colors, doesn't run when you apply it, and holds up to solvents. Only catch is that you have to strip down to the metal - no bluing or other finish can be on it. Hate to buy a barrel I would have to strip. I guess I could leave it blued - won't make it shoot any better and I've never been accused of tryin' to win any outdoor fashion shows!

Yep, I know. Just hoping someone might now of an aftermarket company. I have tried looking at all the companies that make after market barrels that I can think of and none of them offered anything. I guess I could strip the bluing off a factory one and paint it with Brownell's alumnihyde in green. It is a a good finish that I have had good luck with in redoing old guns that were good solid guns, but weren't worth a rebluing job.

I think I can get one from Benelli, but the hard part is that I am looking for one in the old Realtree pattern they first came out with. Any help would be appreciated.
