Frequently Asked Questions
What loads will the Beretta A400 Upland KO cycle reliably?
The A400 Upland KO is designed to cycle a wide range of 12-gauge loads, from light 2¾-inch target loads all the way up to 3-inch magnum shells. Beretta's self-regulating gas system adjusts automatically, making it one of the most versatile and reliable semi-automatic shotguns available for mixed-bag upland hunting.
What choke tubes are compatible with the A400 Upland KO?
The Beretta A400 Upland KO uses the standard Beretta Optima-Choke HP system. It typically ships with a set of flush-fitting choke tubes (Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full), and is also compatible with extended aftermarket chokes designed for the Optima-HP thread pattern.
How difficult is field-stripping and cleaning the A400?
Beretta designed the A400 with tool-free field stripping in mind — no special equipment is needed to break the gun down for cleaning. The self-cleaning gas piston further reduces the frequency and intensity of maintenance sessions, making it one of the easiest semi-automatic shotguns to keep in top working condition between hunts.
