![]() ![]() Barrels, of chrome-moly steel, are processed at the Beretta factory through all steps from the raw, forged solid billet through boring, reaming and chambering to the point where they’re ready for insertion into the Monobloc breeches. Recoil-felt recoil, That is-is reduced because thrust is more directly rearwards, and lessened muzzle lift means getting back on the sightsfaster for that second shot.Ī second common factor in all BL guns is barrel construction. ![]() ![]() This makes for a gun easier to handle, lighter over-all, stronger and, because the mass of the receiver is around the barrels, not below them, recoil is reduced and a second shot can be got off faster. There are no underlugs on the Beretta BL barrels, thhus a considerably shorter receiver, top to bottom, is obtained. The hinge pins are located at a point alongside the middle of the lower barrel, not underneath as with so many other overunders. First there’s the low profile of the BL reciver, achieved through an unusual-perhaps unique-method of hinging and barrel lockup. There are 5 models in the BL group, and all of them have several features of construction in common, important aspects they all share. The other over-under double gun on our front cover is one of Garcia’s BL series, a line of high quality boxlock guns in the popular price range-a gamut these days that runs from about $200 to $500, with a few models at the top end commanding a price a bit higher.
