Beretta Silver Pigeon Shotgun KABOOM
Updated: January 9th, 2013
A reader emailed us this photo of his Beretta Silver Pigeon, which suffered a kaboom a couple of inches forward of the chamber. He wanted to know if anyone readers had been able to persuade Beretta to sort something like this out, apparently they are not being helpful.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Actually seen a paper hull new factory loaded at a state trap shoot bust the ejector in a browning. Not sure how but it sounded like three shells going off at once. Took a few minutes to get it broke down was lucky that was all the damage done. Best bet is just buy a new barrel set and never use that type shell again.
Well it's nice to see so much wild speculation on the 20/12 mixup, but the folks at the MD factory were notoriously bad for customer service some years ago. Hopefully this has changed.
