Steel shot proof

grassroot1

Is there anywhere online I can check if my Beretta is steel shot proofed?
I dont see anything on the Beretta website.

you need to look at the proof marks, best to post a picture of them. I will say though that the vast majority of modern shotguns are good to go.

Any pressure limits stamped anywhere on the gun ?

Most Berettas are steel shot proofed. Not all have the Fleur De Lys marking, and some depend on the choke(s). If you check the choke it should have "SP" stamped on it. If it has then its steel shot proofed.

Thanks to all for your help. The choke tubes are indeed marked SP but I could not find any fleur de lis marks on the barrels, there are figures of KG 1.520 (pressure?) and an 18.something and 76 cam(3 inch chamber I presume).
If anyone can enlighten me on the figures great if not thanks again.

Not an expert on barrel markings so someone correct me if i'm wrong.

Not all Berettas have them. Mine didn't.

Pretty sure that is the weight of the barrel(s), and not pressure.

and an 18.something

Usually refers to the gauge. 18.3 or 18.5 is 12 gauge (0.729 inches). If there are two sets of numbers it'll also tell you the choke or constriction of the barrels.

and 76 cam(3 inch chamber I presume).

3" chamber.
