Sandbank Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 I have two Beretta semi autos, an elderly AL390 and a newer A300 Outlander both owned from new. Usage primarily clays plus some pigeon i.e. relatively light loads. I shoot at Greenfields, Sturry, Kent typically twice a week so the guns are well used (but regularly cleaned). A few months ago the AL390 came to a juddering halt when the rear lug on the breech bolt assembly snapped off. To be fair after 100,000+ shells I guess something was bound to fail. Only previous issue was a broken connecting rod about 6 years ago. It took Beretta 2 months to supply the part, received three weeks ago. They would only supply the complete assembly including the cocking lever and connecting rod, costing over £250. Today the front lug decided to snap on the Outlander. An expensive coincidence! I was wondering if anyone had experienced a similar failure. Image courtesy of Shotgunworld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
