Beretta\u003c\/strong\u003e. Introduced during the late 1970s, the A301 is one of the classic members of Beretta's renowned 300-series gas-operated shotguns and served as the predecessor to the later A302 and A303 models. Its proven gas-operated action, lightweight alloy receiver, and traditional Italian craftsmanship have made the A301 a respected sporting shotgun for generations.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is fitted with a \u003cstrong\u003e28-inch vent rib barrel\u003c\/strong\u003e with a brass front bead sight. The barrel is currently fitted with a \u003cstrong\u003escrew-in choke tube\u003c\/strong\u003e. However, \u003cstrong\u003ewe do not have the appropriate choke wrench available to remove the tube, and therefore we are unable to confirm the choke designation.\u003c\/strong\u003e The installed choke will remain with the shotgun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe receiver retains the factory Beretta scroll engraving, complemented by the original walnut stock and forend with factory checkering. The wood exhibits attractive figure and remains in very good overall condition, showing only normal handling marks and minor cosmetic wear consistent with careful use over the years. The original Beretta buttplate is present. A previous owner has also applied a name label to the buttstock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMechanically, the shotgun functions properly. Like other early Beretta A301 shotguns, it utilizes the original carrier latch system, requiring the carrier release button to be depressed when loading the magazine with the bolt locked open—an original design characteristic of the model rather than a mechanical issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bore is bright and clean, and the shotgun presents in very good overall condition both mechanically and cosmetically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 Gauge semi-automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Italy by P.
