sitsinhedges Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I own a Urika 391 Light I've put well over 10,000 cartridges thru it and it has been a great gun. Yours as a standard Urika will be even more sturdily built. Great guns. Mine came with a 10yr guarantee which is very reassuring and I just had the rivet that holds the metalwork on the front of the fore end replaced because it had rotted away inside and became loose. Don't think I will ever sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only 'jam' I ever had was when a piece of broken clay landed in the action just as I pressed the button to close the breech. Nasty crunching noise and despite trying to clean it out there and then it never cycled properly for the rest of the day. However, once home and stripped and cleaned, I never had another problem with it till the day I sold it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Perhaps still one of the best Beretta self loaders ever made in my opinion , you here more complaints about the newer guns than the 391. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitsinhedges Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Regarding mine, I was reminded this afternoon though what a pain picking ejected shells out of a bramble thicket is Got 15 pigeons with it though B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffolkngood Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Regarding mine, I was reminded this afternoon though what a pain picking ejected shells out of a bramble thicket is Got 15 pigeons with it though B) Fit an empty case catcher to it and you won't have that problem anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sishyplops Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Brilliant guns more of a pain to clean than a 303 but just as good , I found 30" too much to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Fit an empty case catcher to it and you won't have that problem anymore Never seen a viable one. This is why I use my 20g O/U for most decoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afastr Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I have a mobilchoke 28" barrel Urika Gold field, made in...... 1996 or 1999 can't remember which. Absolutely love it, really light, barely any felt recoil with it. Happily cycles 21G clay carts if you really want it too. Since I've owned it I've never had a Jam, and it's relatively easy to disassemble and clean. As with most semis it is very long though, even with the 28 inch barrel it's longer than my 30" guns, so as previously mentioned it may be rather long to swing around, if you can get it in your hands and see how it feels you should be able to figure out if it's right for you.

berettadevon Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Top gun, bought one only few months ago and am well impressed!!!! go buy it as you wont be disapointed!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mda998 Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 well guys just a quick update, with all the positive replies i've had i have now ordered it and should have it on Tuesday, i am a little concerned with it being a 30 inch but i guess if i dont get on with it i shall readvertise it and hopefully wont lose too much on it.. Thank You for all your responses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffolkngood Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 You'll not regret it. I regret selling mine and if there were space in the cabinet I'd have another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat g Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 As has been said you won't regret it. Brilliant auto. i bought mine from a mate and he had taken the 10year warranty out on it. Spoke to GMK and it was transferred to me immediately. As mentioned in an earlier post 30" barrel is perhaps a little long 28" probably being more suited but other than that i can honestly say its a brilliant gun. Go splash the cash!!!!

mda998 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 well guys i picked the gun up on thursday and after a good strip down and clean up i used it today, while very impressed with it i think i may stuggle with the 30 inch barrel and prefer a 28 inch but i will have a few more goes with it before i decice to sell it on or keep it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mda998 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 You've hardly given it a chance no about it really when its too long its too long if it was a 28 inch i wouldn't be selling it maybe try and source a 28 barrel would be a better option for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
