    Beretta xplore a400 28 gauge 28 inch

    I bought one last year and have shot birds through 2 full seasons with it. It is my favorite shotgun. Where is the shotgun located?

    Checking Headspace Question

    I never asked what anyone would do. Read carefully. I've asked for technical clarifications and have received some. I appreciate those who are offering to share their technical knowledge. I'm not going back to the guy who can't drill a hole. It is the most important part of the job and he's...

    Checking Headspace Question

    Headspace. Also - stamped lettering location on the barrel, possible marred cerakote, bedding fit due to a non-pinned lug, stock inletting (I know that's getting picky). I wouldn't have a problem with it being done, if I was confident it would be done correctly. Function is more important...

    Checking Headspace Question

    Well, I had some brand new gauges and tools rush shipped and was able to properly check headspace. It is exactly as my initial test revealed. Close on a no go, no close on a no go plus scotch tape (calipers read .002" longer with tape). Obviously no close on a field, but I bought one and...

    Checking Headspace Question

    So, what is the repair for this? Set back and ream? Wouldn't that throw the stock inletting off? How about the lug that isn't pinned? Would that create a bedding issue? Would the baked-on finish be damaged? If the SAAMI Max is Field gauge, which won't "go", would I even have a fair...

    Checking Headspace Question

    308. After doing it I got to thinking about the amount of crushing force the bolt is capable of and if slight interference would be noticeable while the bolt is fully assembled. Then I questioned if the shoulder of the gauge has full surface bearing, which would distribute the force, or if it...

    Checking Headspace Question

    Definitely the right gauge. PTG nogo is the correct cartridge.

    No galling at all. Lugs look good.

    Checking Headspace Question

    I was curious about the headspace in my custom rifle, so I used a set of gauges to check it. I don't have the tools to disassemble the bolt. I closed the fully assembled bolt a few times, empty, to get the feel of the bolt closing on an empty chamber. Then I stuck the gauge in and carefully...
