Disassembly and maintenance of the A400

[@BerettaCommunity]

I'm glad we could help!

[@mariomounir603]

Beretta how can i change the kick off for ther beretta A 400 xplor action???

[@mattmoseley9753]

Tom, take off the forend cap then insert a shell into the magazine. It'll poke a bit and you pull it out. Beretta doesn't recommend removing or installing on your own. Btw beretta.... Awesome gun.over a thousand rounds through mine and it's also worked through dirt inside the action and through saltwater this season. Even though 3 SBE 2s broke down. Love itt

[@donnielsen154]

It would really help if your video used more closeups when you are removing/installing/cleaning certain areas to make it more readily apparent what you are actually doing; otherwise good info

[@BerettaCommunity]

We don't have a larger diameter, and drilling it will possibly break it/weaken it. You can check with Brownells: they have alternative swivels that can be attached.

[@peterdavis0]

Well done Sir. Awesome video!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dadstillsurfs]

Very complete instructions. However, we need to see more extended, zoomed-in views of the mechanisms detailing how to remove, clean and service the weapon and less of the presenter and the wall of Berettas.

[@Endymion5000]

Excellent tutorial!! Thank you.

[@BerettaCommunity]

@LTYFLY We will have that in a future video

[@CragarShinoda]

LTYFLY: To remove the plug, you twist off the cap and remove the fore stock. Insert a couple of shells into the magazine tube just like you would normally load the shotgun. after a couple of rounds are installed, you will see the blast plug pop out of the end of the magazine tube. Grab it, and pull it out.

[@BerettaCommunity]

I'm not sure I understand the question. And thank you for the shout-out :)

[@BerettaCommunity]

Yes, you can.

[@BerettaCommunity]

Thank you, Matt!

[@BerettaCommunity]

I'll pass it along :)

[@danstiteler5714]

I’m stuck at the charging handle. It doesn’t feel like it’s designed to come out (or I’m a total weakling). Is it different on an A400 Xplor Action? And/or does it require superhuman strength?

[@steezli]

Same here. Going to go to a gunsmith

[@mooneybrian8380]

Great video thanks

[@roblambert5641]

My a400 extreme was jamming this weekend on a dove hunt. I was using light loads. Any suggestions?

[@kidcolt68spc]

does the gas piston just pull out ?

[@jrodriguez6052]

If it do any suggestions?

[@walterdl2904]

Now I have to rewind to see how the parts go back together. Assembly would have been nice.

[@Scalia-ig6qz]

The A400 upland must be different something is up????

[@jrodriguez6052]

Does this shotgun accept a magazine extension?

[@LTYFLY]

How Do you take out the plug?

[@cmrock123456]

Can you take off the 1/2inch spacer off the shotgun? And not have a spacer at all?

[@charlesgilbert5505]

You need close up shots. I can't see what you are doing with the bolt carrier and how you remove the firing pin.

[@SomeGuyfromTexas1]

LTYFLY is right. I can't figure out how to put the plug in my gun. I just spent 1800 bucks on this gun and am afraid to hunt with it because I am not sure if I will damage it in trying to install the plug to legally hunt. Beretta, any progress in the last 7 months to getting this info out to the public?

[@LTYFLY]

@BerettaCommunity Is that going to be anytime soon?

[@joshuagoheen]

I was looking at a used Extreme Unico for sale today and notice the green washer on the forend cap was practically worn completely off. Is this normal or ok?

[@BerettaCommunity]

The green washer should not be worm off

[@XxBigDAWG22xX]

the person took the gun apart a lot most likely or mistreated the gun. I would stay away from it. that part has practically no stress at all and shouldn't be damaged.

[@codywoods1402]

im hearing from forums and friends that this gun is having trouble ejecting 3 1/2 loads is this true? if so what could be the problem? my buddy can load 3 in and shoot the first shot and the 2 and 3rd get caught up coming out

[@BerettaCommunity]

We aren't aware of this problem. It's hard to diagnose. Your friend might want to call outer technical support.

[@XxBigDAWG22xX]

+Rich Theman people don't realize there is a break in period on all firearms. they have one little malfunction and freak out and call guns junk. every company has guns that come off the line with problems. you also have fan boys of other companies that are quit to spit false information about a gun. I never listen to any reviews online only use personal experience with a firearm.

[@CragarShinoda]

Biggest piece of cap that I have ever bought, and I hadn't even shot it yet! I had to go with the Max-5 because Beretta discontinued the Max-4. The Max-5 looks like it had been hobbled together from five different shotguns... none of the pieces even came CLOSE to matching! The receiver came with a huge chip in the side, there was paint voided on the bolt and handle, and this thing was so jacked up that I had to have the trigger plate pin pressed out! I was never able to take the handle out of the bolt, which means that the gun is basically unstrippable/unservicable. The loading longe locked up five times under manual cycling, the hydrodipped camo pattern is void in many places (and the white base is showing), the choke tube were missing, and the tongue/carrier lock stabs my hand when loading a test shell. So sad... I had high hopes for this thing, but I got burned! Now I know that a few of my gripes centers around finish, but come on- this is almost a $2,000 shotgun! It should be perfect from the get-go! Sadly, I picked up a Browning A5, and everything was absolutely flawless! I should have gotten the Browning. I fell in love this gun before I owned it, and already hate it before I have ever even shot it.

[@cmrock123456]

You should make a video to show me how :) sounds like a good idea to me :)

[@BerettaCommunity]

Hi Don - We have other videos that show this process better. If you have an Xtreme or Xplor, go to KZbin /pdGl_6JoUWU

[@orion7873]

You guys need to redo this whole video... You need a better quality camera and actually zoom in on whats being done.

[@BerettaCommunity]

As shown in the video itself, you can find a newer video with close ups, here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZiteImKo9CEoLs

[@gregkom6036]

So I use steel wool to clean a part that has waterproof coating on it ? WTF

[@Crazyben87]

mine was max5 and had black felt in it.. totally lame.

[@BerettaCommunity]

Please, call our customer service dept. at 800-BERETTA ext. 2003

[@Scalia-ig6qz]

If it's been shot less than a few hundred shots, you might have to line it up as described and use a plastic rod to pop it up....para cord method is a way to much effort.

[@charlesgilbert5505]

Why are you using only oil? Why not use some solvent (like Hoppe's No. 9)? I agree with other comments, this video needs to be re-shot, with appropriate close ups.

[@JHOLE21]

one day ill get this gun..... one day......

[@XxBigDAWG22xX]

I just bought one. can't wait till dec 25 to get to shoot it.

[@mallard_duck458]

Why do you have to wait til Christmas to shoot it?

[@pillabichos22]

Se agradeceria para los usuarios españoles que estuvieran tambien en castellano gracias

[@brttchpmn]

Use the firing pin as a punch. WTF

[@gunsmokeGA]

I don’t know who at Beretta decided on using a paper clip to take out a retaining pin. I cannot get this pin out to save my life and I have used paper clips and small Allen wrenches to no avail. Who carries that with them on the road?? You guys need to make this thing so that I can do everything with a small leather man or my fingers. My sons Franchi retaining pin is simple to remove unlike my a400.

[@BerettaCommunity]

Did you try the video link that appears in the first 15 seconds of the video and takes you to a tutorial that includes close ups?

[@gunsmokeGA]

I did, but he does not show the breakdown of the bolt. I’ve got the other stuff down. Any suggestions on getting my retaining pin out so I can clean my bolt? It’s seized up or something because I am doing everything as described and I cannot get that pin to budge. I can’t drive it out with one of my punches either because the hole is too small.

[@BerettaCommunity]

Have you tried pushing the firing pin into the bolt carrier? You can use a 1.5mm punch to drive the pin out, or use a small paper clip.

[@gunsmokeGA]

Yes I'm applying pressure to the firing pin as I try and push out the pin with a paper clip but it only bends the paper clip. I've also tried using a very small allen wrench about the same diameter and tap out but it bends also. I'll try and proceed with the 1.5 punch you suggested once I get one that small. Thanks.

[@dorothysvandyne5004]

Camera is way too far from the demonstrations Just BAD.

[@dugweacr1]

mmhmm

[@LanceOR2011]

Very poorly shot video. They rarely had close up shots. Especially in some of the critical points of disassembly and assembly. Next time Beretta, hire a professional videographer.

[@MarkLinebarger-c2y]

These videos need to give closeups of the various components while you’re talking. We might as well be listening to audio only instruments. Again, we need to see the components coming apart. We don’t need to see you.

[@madelyn7521]

terrible job no closeups.

[@H286]

poor quality. no zoom. and your rag is VERY BIG! do you have smaller one? FAIL

[@scottnathanphoto]

Can't see a thing. Get a professional videographer please. You're a 500 year old company. Waste of time.

[@robotmanx2009]

not gonna lie... this is awful. I didn't come here to see a wall of guns behind you. I want to see what you're doing.

[@joshgordon2484]

Bull Crap. Im not watching this on a big screen TV. Im trying to see wnat youre doing on a Samsung Tablet and i dont need to see your 12 foot $10,000 wood table. Move the freaking camera closer for the whole show instead of a few close up shots. And next time dont forget cleaning the unimoortant magazine spring assembly and dealing with the plug.

[@levergunn405]

If I have to go thru all this before I fire the gun forget it I'll buy a Benelli

[@levergunn405]

+XxBigDAWG22xX When in intellect fails revert to type and be insulting...... All too much bother such as "lining up a little window" and I don't have an air compressor handy so, it's a real clay shooting gun for me a perazzi MX12. This is like Watching an episode of 'War and Peace' but that would be less boring!

[@tombeals123]

How do you take the plug out of the Magazine ?
