njc110381 Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Have a look round on guntrader and other forums. I'm sure I've seen them for a bit less. My Beretta Xtrema hasn't been with me long, but I've already put shells from 24g 9s to 42g 1s through it without a single jam. Beretta make the best autos going in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conor Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 dont like the coloured side panel on the gold, fantastic gun tho, never jams put loads thru mine no problems. you wont be sorry buying a teknys, is it a sporter or game model?

Fenlander Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 one of if not the Best Semis out ,I've put thousands through mine and NEVER had a jam! Thats a good price if it is as you describe,and yes it will cope very well with any kinds of shooting. Gordon,if your mates jams as you say,why dosnt he take it into the gunshop and get it fixed?as it must have something wrong with it,to keep doing this, I saw Three being used last week at the lincs Police shoot,and there is no way a serious clay shooter would use a gun that is likely to jam. All the best Mick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWD Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Hi I looked at one of those but after advice and a opinion from the Guy at Cheshire gun room settled on the much cheaper New Fabarm (£600 new in camo) with the soft feel synthetic body couldnt be happier very good gun ,everyone who has tried it has been impressed and the synthetic doesnt take any looking after giving you more time to clean the internals.(which does)..no jams and really comes up well and quite light to boot Cant fault Berretta.... had a 301 for years...but there is as good out there for less money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckytrigger Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Since buying my s/h 391 ive put around 500 28 and 32g carts through it and i havnt had a stoppage yet.. Imho they are fantastic shotguns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just been offered a very good condition Beretta al390 silver mallard for £400 it looks as new do you think this will do the job also. My heads in bits on which one to buy. Obviously this one is half the price cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 I am told that the common fault with these autos is that the part that flicks the shell up from the magazine to the chamber is easily warped. The cure is that you take the part out and twist it straight. My friend is not brutal enough and is worried about breaking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 I shot a 391 for a while which had the stepped shell lifter and malfunctions were very rare. I bought a Teknys which had the flat lifter and misfeeds went up to maybe 2 every 100. If I shot Gamebore ammo the gun did not malfunction at all,the same with RC ammo it just did not go wrong. The Teknys need lubrication on the rails and bolt to work well,they do not like to be run dry. As for bending the lifter I would imagine that a small tweak might do it,leave the stiltsons in the toolbox. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
