Reply from Al's: kind of important!
We don't carry chokes for those guns. They are supposed to use the Beretta Mobil choke system, but in our experience they are not drilled with the same tolerances that Beretta uses and they don't often fit.
Thank you for your inquiry.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions.

Shipping product only to have it returned because it doesn't fit can be expensive for dealers. Moreover, they can suffer a hit to their reputation if the user decides to flame them for their perceived lack of knowledge. It's likely that the dealer in this case is only being prudent by not stating as fact something that has proven to be problematic in some cases.
In your shoes, I would break down the gun and take only the barrels and a choke wrench to a nearby dealer who carries mobile choke and/or compatible 3rd party products. Try them in your actual barrels. Any doubt one way or the other will be resolved.
If you try them there and they fit, consider buying them from that retailer, even if the price is 10% more. Brick and mortar retailers are an essential part of the industry. If lowest price becomes the primary criteria, we will soon find ourselves with no place to buy ammo, no place to examine and handle new products, etc.

It's nice to have choke options but I've been less than impressed with the Carlson chokes I have. For instance turkey chokes pattering about the same density as factory full chokes. Maybe I'm just extremely unlucky but I'm 4 for 4. Actual Beretta Mobil chokes are much better as are factory Ochp chokes. Just my experience
I have a similar experience with Carlson chokes .... I bought a Carlson extended Full choke for Remington (Remchokes) ... but when I compared the constriction to the Full and Modified Remchokes that I had on hand ... the Carlson had a constriction comparable to a Modified choke.
Basically, the Carlson is stamped Full .... but it is a Modified choke .... :-(

Glad I'm not that unlucky. I'd like some turkey chokes for my 20ga huglus but don't want to waste money on carlsons
Londero Sports is Trulocks Canada distributor . Londero have good inventory and priceing . I have also special ordered from Londero before nothing but good things to say about that sight sponsor.
