The A304 Lark semi-automatic
combines all the traditional strengths and light weight of the renowned
Beretta 300 Series shotguns with the contemporary good looks of the
AL390. The shape of the A304's receiver is the same as that of the
AL390's but it weighs more than a pound less because a special alloy
is used that's as strong as steel but 65% lighter.
An operating
system as simple as Beretta can make it.
The 12 gauge A304 Silver Lark is chambered for 2-3/4 inch shells.
It uses Beretta's traditional 300 Series gas system, with a rugged,
one piece stainless steel piston. Proven over the years for its
superior reliability, the system is self-cleaning.
There's nothing
to break , lubricate or wear out. Because of its exceptional simplicity,
the A304 field strips faster than any other shotgun you've ever
owned. The trigger group features such semplicity of design and
exceptional ruggedness tha it is virtually indestructible. Since
it is locked securely in place by a single pin, it can be removed
for cleaning and lubrication.
An
array of features makes the A304 a technological standout.Ease
of operation is just the beginning of what this remarkable gun
offers the discriminating sportsman. The convenient magazine cut-off
enables you to eject the cartridge in the breech and hand feed
a different load without emptying the magazine. It's located on
the left side of the receiver and can be engaged with one hand.
You enjoy the versatility of Beretta's Mobilchoke® screw-in
choke tube system. The cross bolt safety is reversible for left-handed
shooters. The longer sighting plane, the finger wells in the well-proportioned, semi-Beavertail
fore-end and the hand cut, wrap around checkering all combine
to enhance the A304's accuracy, control and pointability. The
receiver is satin finished to reduce glare. An ingenious, easily
adjusted system of drop and cast washers are provided with every
A304 to enable
hunters to alter drop and cast on/cast off angle of the stock
to fit each shooter's size and shape. Built to last for generations,
the A304 Lark features a barrel made of nickel-chromium-molybdenum
steel with a hard-chromed steel bore that ensures truer, more
consistent shot patterns. The locking bolt and trailing arm assembly
are constructed of heavy duty steel. The one piece trailing arm
assures trouble-free operation. Anodized alloy and high strength
steels are used throughout the gun's construction to withstand
many years of corrosion and stress.

of elegant embellishments.Choose

Lark Slug version of the A304. The Silver Lark features handsome
