Girsan mc312

I own a Girsan MC312 semi auto 12ga and I am confused how the gun is patterning with factory chokes. I see 2 different info online about using factory chokes ok with steel shots, then somewhere els online states that it is not ok to use factory chokes with steel shot, now the factory chokes do not have anything written on them but what types they are only, so does that mean I have to buy an after market choke to use for steel shots ? :confused:

you should be able to use any choke that is not a full choke with steel shot. I think that there are some full chokes that can handle steel but they will say that on them

I also saw online that if a choke factory/ aftermarket, does not say on it " steel " means it doesn't shoot steel, mine say nothing what so ever

Ask the manufacturer-or the Local Rep.

I got it from Cabelas, most likely today I will head there today

I own a Grisan MC312.

As long as you're shooting mod or imp factory chokes, you're fine with steel. Do not use the full factory choke with steel, it's not rated for it.

However, it uses a Benelli / Beretta Mobil Choke system, and the aftermarket Carlson's chokes work amazingly well.

Oh sick ok, I don't know why it was patterning so weird, I had mod and shooting 2 federal steel, I wonder if I'm not aiming right with the bead? I'm eighter right high from target or low left

Check your bead, and make sure the barrel is on properly. Should be ok. But switch your chokes.

Maybe when I put it together I may have not put the barrel on properly eh, could that be a thing? I'm gonna hit up Cabelas and check out them chokes and do more patterning

Not saying you did, but variance in pattern like that isn't usual.

Shoulder fired? Or off some bags?

I have a set of the black cloud chokes....from Carlson's, I work PT for Als Corner Store in the gun room. They pattern beautifully.

But when I said switch your chokes, I meant swap out the mod for the imp, and see if the elevation, and windage change? Could just be a crappy choke.
