Beretta Over Under Commemorative Shotguns

[Walkabout]

Anyone own one ? I've always thought they were kind of interesting. Are they historically accurate? Thanks

Saw a guy at the last rondy I attended win the shotgun shoot with one.

I have one but haven't shot it in years. As I remember a really fun shotgun.

I've had one for years. The locks on mine are pretty good.

I used to shoot doubles trap with it. A real challenge since they are cylinder bore. Would make a nice upland game gun.

I also have one. Fun gun. Came with lots of accessories.

I like mine, I use the ”SkyChief” load. Great turkey gun.

I had one but parted with it in a weak moment, was a good gun and accounted for many rabbits and hares; wish I still had it.
As to historical accuracy, I’ve seen a couple of original Italian guns that looked very similar.

One of my friends used to have one. Was a pretty decent gun, except he was plagued with misfires in the bottom barrel. The flash channel is really long. Even reamed out the channel some.
We tried everything, starting with a very thorough cleaning.
Finally had to put a musket cap nipple in the bottom barrel to eliminate the misfires.
Sometimes the barrel band would come loose and slide toward the muzzle.
