Xtrema2 Locking System Overview

“Dual reinforced bolt rails” offer the highest level of stabilization and extends the reliability of the action

while controlling the orientation of the bolt assembly.

The breech bolt of the Xtrema locks into the oversize barrel extension, not the receiver, for increased strength

and rigidity.

This image shot from the front of the Receiver shows the “Dual Support Grooves” that stabilize

the bolt assembly bars.

Gas Operation System Overview

“This photo was taken from the muzzle end of barrel shining a light through the gas ports.”

Fact:•Beretta gas operated shotguns offer one of the softest recoiling systems around because of our simple yet advanced design.

•Gas ports are self cleaning and rarely require manual cleaning.

•Chrome lining in our barrels aids in corrosion resistance and minimizes cleaning time.

Gas operation occurs when the spent gases pass through the gas ports inside of barrel as

illustrated on all three photos.
