Beretta 1201f?

[KITIMAT TOM]

Good Day
I was given a Beretta 1201F shotgun after a friends father passed away.I`m not new to shotguns as I own a few.But I have no experience with this auto loader.I have searched online for the manual but have had no luck.This looks like a very well made gun with little use to it.My questions are.

-what is the safe loading/unloading routine?
-what choke should it have for Mallard and Goose hunting?Are there still parts made for these guns(date stamp is 1990)
-where can I find a manual for it?
-What sort of reputation do these guns have?It will be well taken care of but our duck seasons climate is brutal wet, cold and dirty.

I`ll post some pics later


Thanks TOM

I have a 1201f they are a very strong gun, the only problem is with 3" hunting loads it kicks quite hard. I have a manual for a 1200f and its the same, PM me and I can help you out.

I now was able to find a PDF file for the 1200 model.
