Hey can you help me with choke tube identification? How are Benelli choke tubes marked? I can’t find any markings or writing on them.
There are a few ways to identify Benelli choke tubes. First, you can look for the color coding on the tube itself. Second, you can check the markings on the tube’s collar. Finally, you can consult a Benelli shotgun choke tube chart.
Color Coding
Benelli uses a color-coding system to indicate the constriction of their choke tubes. The colors and their corresponding constrictions are as follows:
Black – Improved Cylinder (IC)
Red – Modified (M)
Silver – Full (F)
Gold – Extra Full (XF)
Markings on the Tube’s Collar – All Benelli tubes have markings on the collar that indicate the make, model, and constriction of the tube. For example, a tube with the markings “B/C/IC” would be for a Benelli Crio/Crio Plus shotgun, and would be an improved cylinder tube. Also Benelli choke tubes are marked for an easy identification:
