I just bought a slightly used Beretta SP III. It had 5 flush mount chock tubes with it but I wanted to buy two extended SKT Tubes. I went back to the place I bought the gun and he had two used Briley Titanium SKT chokes for Ber/Ben. I bought them and when I got home the tubes were too tight and wouldn't even start at the base. So I took the gun and the tubes back and we tried two other Extended Briley tubes for Ber/Ben and they were the same way. The strange part is that the flush mount tubes go in fine. We tried several Ber flush tubes and they all go. I can put the flush mount in without a wrench but the extende tubes won't slide down to where the threads even start. These tubes were all the same style (mobile choke).

Has anyone ever heard or seen this before? The guy I bought the gun from is going to talk to his Briley rep next week and see if he has any ideas.
