This video made this task very easy. Perfectly done. User manual explains what all the shim numbers mean and was easy to figure out. Awesome.

Nice instructions, clear and concise. The whole stock on my a400 extreme plus was randomly loose, I had to take the stock apart and tighten that 13mm bolt holding the stock on. One little correction though, once you take the butt pad off those 5 screws are t10 torx and not t8.

Excellent! thanks to Beretta for these instructive videos:)

I kept waiting for one of the screw etc. to roll into one of the holes in the top of the bench. Thanks for the clip :)

I bought an A-400 which was set for a left hand shooter. Swapping the shim and spacer to right hand set-up was a breeze, but when I mounted the gun it still had the bead off to the left of the rib. But the next day when I mounted the gun the bead was right smack in the centre of the rib. The stock had obviously developed a "memory" biased to the left hand set-up and it took about 15 hours for the stock to reform to the new bias. Just thought I would throw this in in case anyone did it and thought they had done it wrongly. Thanks for the instructional videos Erik.

I looked at mine and the plate and shim were in different settings! From the factory. Great.

This is realy great. Aziz from Saudi Arabia

NICE VIDEO,HELPS VERY MUCH. GREETINGS FROM GREECE!

Very helpful, grazie Beretta.

this was very helpful thank you

the videos worked great for me... thanks. Beretta and snap-on are fine tools.

at the 3:40 mark. The guys says put the plastic black shim facing (SX for lefty, and it's Dx for righty) you on the stock. I believe this to be incorrect. It should be placing the shim on the back of the receiver facing you which would be opposite of what he is doing by placing it on the stock. He is not doing it as the manual states.

WARNING! At time 3:42 / 9:38, He says you want to have the C60 SX facing you at the top as he places the plastic shim onto the Stock. THAT IS AN INCORRECT STATEMENT. SX (Left-Hand) and DX (Right-Hand) plastic shims are positioned on the rear of the receiver, so the marking is visible toward the shooter! At that point, the desired shim marking will be facing you! When the metal spacer is placed into the hollow of the Stock, that will also be facing the rear of the shotgun. Both Shim and Spacer face the shooter or the butt end of the gun. If you don't believe me, use a caliper to measure the shim. When looking at the DX side of the shim, the left side of the shim is thicker, causing 'Cast-Off' (rightward cant) for the right-hand shooter. Conversely, when looking at the SX side of the shim, the right side of the shim is thicker, causing the Stock to 'Cast-On' (Leftward cant) for the left-hand shooter!

Very nice your review Erik. Sorry about my English...I´m from Brazil and I want to import from USA a Beretta A400 Extrem, but I have a doubt about shells magazine capacity. First question - The gun works without those “Limitation Plugs”? Second - How many shells in 2 ¾” does A400 hold in magazine? Thanks

Thank you so much 🌷🌷🌷🌷

I changed the cast and drop on my extreme plus was getting cheek slap... fits and shoots great now. I was out the door on a hunt right after I did this and found a little rubber o ring about 1/4 inch outside dia. on the floor. I don't know if it was out of my stock or off something else. Is there any o rings in stock of a kickoff?

Does this same procedure work for the A300 outlander?

More helpfull 💐💐💐💐💐

Thank you.

can you stack several on top of each other? I am a left shooter adjusted it for the left but my shot is still on the right

how do you decrease LOP on a 20 ga Xplor with the kickoff system

Can the Beretta be set up for neutral cast? I know Benelli does not offer the few shims needed for a neutral cast set up. I guess the simple shims are too expensive?

Just as an FYI, the T8 Torx screwdriver will need to have a very small diameter shaft to go down into the recoil pad screw holes to get the the Torx screws. I had to go out & buy a set, which is fine since I'll use it for other tasks.

He says at 5:46 its held in with 5 t8 screws that's wrong they are t10 screws.

Just bought a 1301 comp. I shoot left handed so tried to replace the DX plate with SX. Can't figure out how to remove the end plate. I have the butt removed and the bolt and can see the Cast plate but can't get the plastic end cap off. Can't find instructions how to remove. Please do a video or provide explanation. PS - the Xtreme has screws whereas I don't see any for the 1301.

Does this procedure apply to A350 Xtreme?

I left my half inch spacer out all-together to reduce LOP on a new a400 Lite Syn Gun. Gonna try it like that tomorrow. It doesn't appear to have to have the spacer at all. And the Gun fits my short arms now. Wish I could do that to my Unico KO....Thoughts?

Holy shit this dude breathes heavy

Hey Erik. Thanks for the video. I'm new to shotguns. What is the benefit of swapping out the plastic and metal shims currently in my A400 Xplor Action 20Ga? I'm a left hand shooter. How do I know how which shim I should use 55 or 60 mm?

Hi Beretta, do you have a video that shows how to adjust the combe height of the A400 Xcel ATS / KO -- many thanks

I should have mentioned before. I picked up both a T-8 an a T-15. T-15 is too big. It's not a Philips either as one owner may have discovered on theirs. mine definitely is a Torx.

What size spacers come in the guns from the factory?

This video is very helpful, but removing the Kick-off unit is not as easy as it appears. I couldn't get a T15 screwdriver (recommended) that was small enough to get through the brass fitting. I called Beretta in NY and Scott suggested trying an allen wrench. A 3/32" one worked perfectly.

Nice video but it did not deliver... I watched this to see how to adjust the length of pull... which the title offered... it was never addressed.... how do you adjust the length of pull on a stock with the kick off?

Can you make a video on how to change a battery on a gunpod of an a400 xplor action?

i have one of those beretta a400 xplor actions and my recoil pad is fucked up and i need to order a new one, do you guys know the size of the padt o order like the original that came with the gun, im stuck here in iceland and no beretta supplier located anywhere near?? thank you mr. internet

Having trouble with a400 12 gauge lite when shooting 28gr and with bullets too Any clue what could be?

I did this yesterday just to service the kick off and clean out the stock. My question is my Phillips and T style screws are rusted pretty good. Should I contact Beretta for replacements or Brownells? Thanks

8:48 appears to show the front spacer being reinstalled with "C-55-DX" facing the shooter, but the rear spacer was installed with "C-55-SX" facing the shooter for a left handed drop. Per the manual this is incorrect. @Beretta can you confirm?

When positioning the front shim should the markings be facing the rear, towards the shooter? I wished they zoomed in on that!

Torx T-8 doesn't work on my Xtreme. T-8 is too small. It it a T-10?

This one might require our technical support. Call 800-BERETTA ext. 2003 and have your serial number handy.

Is the stock wood?

Is it the same for the a350 extrma????

Given that I am right handed and do not need to adjust the cast how to I just adjust the drop. New video perhaps

Hello , how I can get it contact with some one from beretta that can explain me how to make some adjustments to the kick off sistem ?

so, the shims are facing in opposite directions? the metal one facing the back and the plastic one facing the barrel? Also, is this identical to the 1301 comp pro?

I am trying to adjust my LOP by replacing the 1/2" spacer with the 1" spacer, but the screws in the recoil pad do not fit all the way through the 1" spacer. How do you replace the screws that come in the recoil pad with the longer screws provided without ripping apart your recoil pad?

Mine is T10 Perhaps a $2000 shotgun could come with a toolkit? Shim marking towards the front towards the shooter is a bit vague. Might want to mention D for Dexter or right handed, S for sinister or left handed. The downloadable owners manual has all drawings removed and is useless.

make some videos for the a350. i feel like my gun is a fake theres zero info

Can i just take off the shims and just let the gun shoot straight for left or right handed shooters . ??

Is this the same on the a400 upland 20ga

Would this be the same for the a300

How do I add Kick Off to my 1301 Tactical LE?

Can I eliminate the 1/2 inch spacer for the shortest LOP possible?

Hi is it okay to use NO spacers and ONLY the butt pad? Thanks for your time.

Hey, i can’t seem to see the rib or the bead ... how can I lift the stock ? Thank you !!

It would be good to mention that you should lube the screw holes and screwdriver with something. Otherwise you will tear up the rubber around the screw holes. I'm sure most people will say it is common sense, it was not common sense for me. A $50 lesson learned.

First, thank you for the video, it helped. But just so I am clear, the cast polymer shim should be placed on the stock with the corresponding drop number visible and on the top? Just like the drop shim? In other words, both of the corresponding numbers/letters would be facing you as you look at both the front and the end of the stock. Is this correct? example: 60DX 60DX Thanks in advance..

Music at 4:00 is the ph intro

NOTICE: The Torx heads are NOT T8 on the A400 Extreme as stated in this video. I searched high and low and ended up going to Lowes to buy a T8 because I was trying to be proactive and get all the tools… ended up buying an unnecessary tool.

Good luck getting ahold of customer service. Have been trying for a week now. Absolutely terrible

What is the torque value in inch pounds on the 13mm nut?

Can you leave a spacer off the back and just have the recoil pad there

Hi, I'm a left handed shooter and I'm having a problem with my A400 Xtrema Unico. When I bring the gun up to shoulder I'm seeing way to MUCH of the rib, it's very difficult to see st flat down the rib to the bead (so I'm always shooting high). I've heard several other shooters of this gun complain of the same problem even after shimming. Can anyone help out here please?...Thanks.

The guy I forgot a big thing like what shim to use where ,where to find information

Will this procedure work for the A300?

It's a T15

does this stock adjustment work on the a400 exel!?!?!?!?! please reply

When he says 'place the plastic shim with the letters facing you at the top', does he mean facing you when shooting?

My A400 Extreme Plus shoots low and to the right. Your video didn't help. Any more suggestion on a video? Thanks.

I appreciate the video but you completely ignore the most challenging phase of cast/drop adjustment in this category of Beretta SA’s. On every unit from the 391 to the A400 replacing the washer and self locking nut is a hilariously haphazard and unmentioned exercise. Add in the Kick-Off assembly as an obstacle and the placing of the metal shim plus the self-locking nut is a ridiculous time wasting exercise. Beretta or Cole should market a deep well socket perhaps manufactured even from plastic of sufficient length, close tolerance and look-through design to allow first-attempt placement of the nut.

Anyone know how much in-lb of torque you should apply to the kick off system when tightening the 13mm bolt

Hey My wife wants to shoot that gun what is the minimal drop you can get from using shims ?

If anybody knows how to mountain red dot on A400 xplore ? Thanks

on the xplor?

Must have been really hot in that green screen room. Poor guy's sweating buckets. Beretta, you slave drivers lol !

6:40 8:14

Bonjour, merci pour votre video mais personne ne parle du demontage du kick off A400 excel sporting .....pourriez vous mettre une video ...merci Luigi italdirect@wanadoo.fr

4:02 - 4:05 thank me later

Man put on your safety glasses

Instructions on mounting the front (plastic) shim seem contrary to the instructions provided with gun; instruction booklet say's the shims, plastic and metal, must be in the same orientation, it reads that the shim should be placed over the stock bolt so that the correct measurements are visible at the top (ie with the shim against the action) - in the video the guy is shown placing the plastic shim on the stock itself not over the stock bolt which suggests it's the wrong way around in the video. Strongly suggest that owners double check with a Beretta agent and/or refer to the provided detailed instruction book before following the video.

Horrible lighting in this video
