- for replacement, special work or access to the trigger mechanism - without having to remove the recoil pad. This new Q-Stock® design no longer requires the traditional internal through-bolt since it attaches directly to the receiver, increasing the solidity of the receiver-stock assembly. The result is a lock-up that is constant over time, also contributing to extending the life of the shotgun. The disassembly operation is executed using the included special key, inserting it through the grip cap which features an elegant and functional hinged coverplate. NOTICE: The removal of the stock is recommended only in case of replacement or for special maintenance and repairs. In case of routine maintenance it is not necessary to remove the stock. REMOVABLE TRIGGER GROUP Once the stock is removed, even the trigger group may be quickly removed in order to have access to all of its components for cleaning or maintenance. The disassembly may be performed with the same tool used to detach the stock. NOTICE: The removal of the trigger group is recommended only in case of replacement or for special maintenance and repairs. In case of routine maintenance it is not necessary to remove the stock. WARNING: Do not attempt to make repairs to any firearm without proper knowledge or training. Do not alter parts or use substitute parts not made by ! Beretta. Any alterations or adjustments that may be necessary to the operating mechanism should be performed by the Manufacturer or by its local official distributor. Do not attempt to alter the internal parts of your shotgun's firing mechanism. Altering internal parts can cause unsafe conditions and voids the manufacturer's warranty. NEWLY DESIGNED SAFETY/SELECTOR LEVER The design of the safety/selector assembly has been executed with attention to the smallest detail to ensure smooth, precise and secure operation and a constant engagement force. The selector (where present) is integrated into the safety and snaps precisely into one position or the other, avoiding the annoyance of being in a non-firing 'neutral' position and compromising the shot. BARRELS WITH NEW PROFILE Manufactured from the highest strength alloys using the exclusive process of cold hammer forging, which guarantees the perfect concentricity of the tubes, the barrels of the new Beretta Perennia are extremely strong yet, at the same time, extremely light. Designed to be able to withstand the rigors of steel shot, they feature a new internal Optima-Bore® HP (High Performance) profile with a longer forcing cone which improves patterning and contributes to reduce felt recoil. The bore and chamber are completely chrome lined to guarantee maximum resistance to corrosion and wear, and to increase the velocity of the shot. The new profile of the barrels joins form and function: the tubes blend harmoniously with the monobloc, mating the streamlined profile of the receiver and, at the same time, ensuring excellent durability and strength. The external surfaces of the barrels are finished in a resistant polished blueing. 44
