I gotta check out the extension tube.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

Heard back from Nordic. He says: Due to the gas mechanism on the 3901, these shotguns are not capable of accepting an extension tube.

Whatever, barrel and choke you decide on, I would strongly recommend that you test several different loads and manufacturers 2.75 and 3 inch shells. There is no sure fix load that every shotgun will pattern effectively. The load that puts the most pellets reliably on target at 40 yds. Is what you should shoot. Often time 2.75 inch 9 Pellet 00buck that reliably patterns all 9 pellets on target is more effective then 12 Pellet 2.75 “ magnum or 3” magnum 15 Pellet that only puts 9 on target at the same distance. The only advantage to magnum buckshot is when it puts those extra pellets on target.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. Edmund Burke

I’m pretty sure the only beretta shotguns that will accept an extension are the 1301, extrema 1&2, and the a400 extreme unico
The secret to a long life is to try not to shorten it.

Been doing some hard looking at the Federal Flight Control. Are we in agreement that this should be fired through CYL, rather a more restricted choke? It seems that a full or modified would deform the wad, which is designed to keep the pattern together?

Problem solved. Width doesn't exceed ATV.

You're right. 2-3/4" gave me a great pattern form 24" barrel, IC. Boar fell over dead right there at 33 paces. You don’t need 3” with those shells.

2 3/4" 00 Buck has been deadly for me inside 50 yards. I killed 6 pigs with 4 shots at a feeder a few weeks ago.
