Xtrema2 Locking System Overview
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.
“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.
Dual Locking Lugs for superior strength.

Gas Operation System Overview
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.
“This photo was taken from the muzzle end of
barrel shining a light through the gas ports.”
Gas operation occurs when the spent gases pass
through the gas ports inside of barrel as
illustrated on all three photos.

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

Removing Bolt From Receiver
The bolt head has two visible grooves around the neck.
The groove closest to the chamber end of the bolt head,
highlighted in red for instructional purposes only, is your
visual indicator to facilitate removing the cocking lever
from the bolt.
As keyway recesses inside the bolt head aligns, the
“keyed” cocking handle will be free to pull out of the
assembly.
