Beretta A391 Xtrema receiver complete
Beretta A391 Xtrema Complete Receiver — 12 Gauge, Aluminium Alloy, Factory Original
So your Beretta A391 Xtrema has a damaged or worn receiver and you need a complete factory Beretta replacement — not an aftermarket substitute, not a parts rebuild, a genuine Beretta receiver. This is it. The Beretta A391 Xtrema is a semi-automatic shotgun built around an auto-regulating short-stroke gas piston and a two-lug rotary bolt head that locks up bank-vault tight shot after shot. Complete receiver. 12 gauge. Aluminium alloy construction. RFD transfer required. Ships to licensed owners across the UK and Europe.
The Beretta A391 Xtrema receiver complete borrows elements from multiple designs to withstand the constant pounding of heavy 12 gauge 3.5″ hunting loads. First, the aluminium alloy receiver keeps weight down while providing the structural rigidity the Xtrema’s hard-cycling gas system demands. Next, the manual safety catch is located to the front of the trigger guard — the classic Beretta cross-bolt safety position that Xtrema owners know instinctively. Finally, MGW confirms OEM replacement receivers are available to keep your Xtrema firing like new — this is a legitimate, supported repair path for one of Europe’s most widely distributed semi-automatic shotguns.
Available at eurogunandpartshub.com — for licensed A391 Xtrema owners across the UK and Europe.
What Licence Does This Beretta A391 Xtrema receiver complete Require in the UK?
Section 1 FAC for standard configuration — Section 2 SGC possible with magazine plug. So the complete receiver is the serialised component — it is the legal firearm. Also, UK-legal Xtrema examples are configured with a two-cartridge capacity magazine tube — reducing total capacity to three rounds (2+1) which qualifies as Section 2 SGC. Therefore, if your Xtrema is a UK Section 2 configuration with a two-round magazine tube and plug, this receiver transfer can be handled under your SGC. If it is in standard capacity configuration, a Section 1 FAC is required. Verify your specific configuration with your RFD before ordering.
What Is the Beretta A391 Xtrema receiver complete and Why Is It Still Relevant?
The Beretta A391 Xtrema — a semi-automatic shotgun chambered for 12 gauge 3.5″ magnum loads, produced by Beretta in Gardone Val Trompia, Italy. Auto-regulating short-stroke gas piston, two-lug rotary bolt head, aluminium alloy receiver. So the Xtrema was produced from 1999 to approximately 2012 — more than a decade of Italian factory production means a large installed base across Europe that needs parts and receivers as the platform ages. Also, the A391 Xtrema is widely recognised for performance, reliability, and versatility — specifically engineered for 3.5″ magnum loads for waterfowl hunting. Therefore, a working Xtrema is still a capable, valued shotgun — replacing a damaged receiver is a cost-effective alternative to buying a new gun.
What Does a “Complete Receiver” Include?
The action body, trigger group housing, and associated internal components. So a complete receiver on a semi-automatic shotgun includes the aluminium alloy action body, the trigger group components, the safety mechanism, and all associated pins and springs — everything except the barrel, stock, and forend. Also, MGW specifically lists Beretta 391 Xtrema replacement receivers alongside other parts including forends, stocks, barrels, choke tubes, recoil pads, and trigger groups. Therefore, verify with your specific listing exactly which components are included — a “complete receiver” can vary in scope between different suppliers.
Will This Beretta A391 Xtrema receiver complete Fit the Xtrema 2?
Verify carefully before ordering. So the original A391 Xtrema and the Xtrema 2 share the same platform DNA but have specific differences in internals and finish. Also, Midwest Gun Works lists parts specific to “the Beretta 391 Xtrema & Xtrema 2 shotgun models” — suggesting some cross-compatibility, but not guaranteed for all components. Therefore, confirm whether your specific shotgun is an A391 Xtrema (original) or Xtrema 2 before ordering, and verify receiver compatibility with your specific variant.
Who Is This Beretta A391 Xtrema receiver completeBest For in the European Market?
This Beretta A391 Xtrema receiver complete fits A391 Xtrema owners across the UK, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, and Belgium who have a damaged or worn receiver and want to restore their Xtrema to full function rather than replacing the entire gun. So the Xtrema was used by hunters and target shooters across Europe and the United States during its production run — the European installed base is substantial. Also, Italian hunters specifically associate the Xtrema with driven game and waterfowl — it is a platform with genuine cultural resonance in its home market and across Southern Europe. Therefore, a genuine factory Beretta replacement receiver at £589 represents excellent value compared to sourcing a complete replacement gun.
