I thought some of you might like to see these pictures of a Beretta model 625 converted to a 12 gauge slug gun. I rebarreled this using a couple of the rifled 12 gauge blanks that I have for sale on this site. I can't take credit for all the work, I farmed out the checkering to a young man named Brian Dudley. I think he did an excellent job on it and the price was fair for what he did. I am very happy with the way it turned out.
Most of the photos are of the finished product, except for the one that shows the scope mounted to the rib. This was done with Talley lever set Q.D. rings and set up to drop on and slide forward, then locked down. By doing the machining myself, I could get them to release with only a quarter turn of the levers. Bob
P.S.- I added the only picture that I had left of a pair shot with this gun over a standing rest at 35 yards. It will do the same thing at further distances.

Orvar, I added the only photo I had of the last pair I shot with this gun before I sent it out. I realize it isn't much but it represents what the gun will do. I was very happy with the way this gun shoots and also the quality of these barrels. I still have several pairs of these to sell if anyone is interested. Bob

That's a nice setup! Pretty nice chunk of fencepost too!
