    I had a Churchill 205. Stupidly sold it. One of those guns you shouldn't but you do sell . It was the bees knees and if you are considering one I do regrettingly as a Beretta owner rate them.

    From my experience berretas are to dear for what you get. A 694 for example retails at nearly 8k. For what is a fairly ordinary gun. Grade 5 miroku m10 around half the price and same quality....

    As turkish guns go, the Akkar O/Us seem to be pretty good quality. A friend had been using a Akkar 206 trap for a while and decided to upgrade to a new SKB. The akkar is definitely a higher quality...

    Easiest way- stand the barrels upside down in a bucket and spray down the bores liberally with CRC or WD40. Leave overnight and a patch should take the whole lot out.
