I recently picked up a Breda 710 Magnum with the eternal quick chokes. I was hoping someone could tell me more about it, I haven't had much luck searching on the net. The paper work i got with the gun says hard chrome barrel was wondering if its safe to shoot steel through.
 
Check out Steve's pages he has a manual for the Breda 12. Looks like an A5 clone. Not sure about the steel shot. It would be my assumption that it is not designed for it so to err on the side of caution I'd say no steel.
 
I have a 1963 Breda shotgun as well. Very well built guns, can be taken apart without any tools, the long recoil is very nice to shoot, and it looks a lot better than an A5. They were more expensive than A5s when they were released to the North American market and therefore never really sold well. The safety can be swapped to either side, it has a mag lock-out, and the chokes are expensive so if you find some, buy them and hold on to them. I have a manual and I believe I found a digital manual online somewhere. As for steel - though the barrel was not designed in these days for steel, it is quite a thick barrel. I would say use steel at your own risk but I will be using steel through mine.

Here's the manual: http://stevespages.com/pdf/breda_12.pdf
