Fal Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Hello, I am thinking of getting a new Beretta A400 Extreme I am wondering if anybody has one and has actually used it in a salty environment. Coastal shooting, salt spray etc. I have read that there is some sort of magical coating that is completely corrosion proof but I find it hard to believe. I am thinking of getting the MAX4 coated gun for extra protection, it all sounds and looks great but it's an expensive gun, I don't mind spending the money as long as it does what it says on the tin. I've also read some people have had issues cycling 3 1/2" cartridges, has anyone that owns one experienced this. Thanks! Rhodri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiss.tony Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 my mate Tod on here has 1 brand new from swilliton guns 1550 i think and he loves it its super smooth carn"t Evan tell when you fire a number 6 out of it he was shooting pigeons and crow at weekend with 3 and half inch magnums 3"s don't ask and it performed 100 per cent. Don't think he"s had it in salt water yet as its only a few months old give him a pm he"s on my friends list if you like swiss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tod Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 As said fella, dont hesitate, just buy one, fantastic gun, ive had a good few 3 1/2 inch through mine with no problems, never been in salty conditions but they are aqua coated and guaranteed, mine has never jammed or anything and i hardly ever clean it, its expensive but its the ultimate all round gun that will last me till i shuffle off this earth, if you need any info give me a pm.

Wiggum Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I assume you mean the magazine lock off allowing you to unload the gun without it loading another cartridge from the magazine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philm Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Yes ,locks the magazine so you can change the cartridge in the chamber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tod, thanks for the info mate!! Sounds like a great gun, I recently had a brand new gun rust before my eyes in salty spray conditions so I'm really keen to find out if this gun is really corrosion proof. If it is, it sounds like the gun for me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 My mate has one, must be nearly a year old now, he uses it fowling and pigeon shooting. Its not jammed yet, which is surprising, as he hasn't cleaned once since he's had it !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
