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 everQuote:

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 leftQuote:

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.
Holly you work at Al's lol damn man I use to go there ALL THE TIME ! For fishing gear and once I got my hunting license I bought a Stoger under over from there, but solid it few month later, but man I love that store I was there not to long ago checking out the under over 12ga, I was thinking of selling my Girsan and buying trok ALs an under over, but I am hooked to semis nowQuote:

Funny how that will work.Quote:

I was there I wanna say max 3 weeks ago, full of guns was crazy, also saw a used semi auto can't remember what brand, it was light as feather and beautiful beautiful color I was inlove, and for 500 bucks!I was so down to sell my Girsan and buy that semi, I'm just not use to the all black shotgun lol, I think I could modify it to the Girsan with the I think oak stock colorQuote:

Yes that's exactly the semi I saw.Quote:

I have the same gun shot a doe with it last year with a slug. Also shot my turkey with it in the spring this year. Great gun inmy opinion. Only thing I dont like is its not drilled for a rail.Quote:

Noticed that I also noticed iv seen ones online that are, think more the tactical ones, unless they drill em them selvesQuote:

Probably go and get it drilled. I'd like to put a red dot on it or something. I'm not a fan of the bead sights on any of my guns.Quote:

I actually met a fellow last night and he does waterfowl hunting with a red dot! I was pretty impressed, I've never seen such a thing , I'd feel like the sight would be in the way shooting a flying targetQuote:
