fabsroman, don't the Citori's have chrome lined chambers? Is it really necessary to have chrome lined barrels? Now galling; that's a whole other issue.
It’s super light. It’s weird looking. It has a manual safety. It’s marketed as a field gun. It’s not a field tested design like a Browning or Beretta or Ceasar Guerini. It marks up the hulls. They can still be reloaded but it’s annoying. Should I go on?

The Beretta family owns a bunch of gun related companies. Beretta, Benelli, Franchi, Stoeger, Burris, Sako, Tikka, and Uberti.
The current ones do but not the older ones. That’s something you always check when buying a used Browning is to makes sure there’s no rust in the chamber. I’ve heard guys complain that their chambers rusted by the time they got home after shooting. This isn’t an exaggeration by the way.
Its hard to get over the "made in the land of rising sun". I too have both, but I hate seeing "made in japan" on my guns.

Interesting. Well I can't blame anyone for being bent out of shape about galling pivots or corrosion in the chamber.
So this begs the question; is shotgun that corrosive? Most common shotguns (both new and old) are not chrome lined.

What about the Belgian guns? I have 3, and none have that problem.
Look up "Browning Superposed salt wood". Some original owners got new shotguns due to rust from the salt used to cure the wood for the stocks. Used shotguns go to Art for restoration.
I had a typo in my previous post; I meant to say:
