trestres Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Has anyone seen a Benelli with outside the barrel choke threads? Why is it this way instead of inside threads? I just bought a Raffaello with this type of barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckcop Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Trying to visualize such thing. Hard to imagine. Are you saying you also have chokes for it?? Pictures!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I only have the cap/choke that came on it. Vizualize a threaded cap not unlike you would use on a rifle that you took a muzzle brake off of. It is definitely factory made. The barrel is also a couple of inches shorter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trestres Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 I thought maybe it was made like that for a brake or a can??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roofless Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Do you mean something like this? If so...then they allow you to do this. ...or add any other type of properly threaded brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trestres Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Sorry to have been away from this. Yes sir, that's similar to what it is like. The barrel is flared out a little, then the threads start. Why would you need a brake like that and has anyone ever seen a Benelli shotgun that had a factory brake on it?

truckcop Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Old posting here: http://forums.benelliusa.com/showthread.php/33009-For-Sale-Benelli-Factory-M4-M1-Muzzle-Brake-Compensator-Breacher Benelli also made a "practical" M1 that included a muzzle brake but I don't think it had the serrated edge of that one. It was designed for competition. The Rafaello doesn't seem to be the type of gun such a device would be useful for. Did you buy the gun NIB or was it used? Perhaps a previous owner installed the threaded device. Still somewhat unclear as to your barrel. Are the outside threads on a screw-in choke-like device or is the barrel itself threaded on the outside. hint: PICTURES!

trestres Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 The gun is used. The barrel is some what flared right before the outside the barrel threads begin. It is definitely factory done. The rib and the front sight are where they're supposed to be etc. I would be happy to post pictures of it but I don't know how.

truckcop Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Let me try one more time. Please read carefully. Since I doubt seriously that the barrel itself is threaded on the outside, I'm going to assume that the muzzle of your barrel looks like the first picture above in roofless's post. That thing sticking out with the threads on it screws into the end of your barrel. It also screws out. Hopefully your gun came with a choke wrench. (If it didn't, use a quarter.) Use the choke wrench to unscrew (counterclockwise) that device from the barrel. You can then screw in standard chokes. Benelli barrels are flared a tiny bit in the last few inches to accommodate those screw-in chokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trestres Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Ok, I took some picture with my ******. I do not know how to post them but I can send to another phone number or an email address. I think you will see it's as I stated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
