Hi Wally...educate me what are the differences between the 301-302-303's..is one any real improvement over the other??

301 has a square bolt closing button,with a differant type of spring system behind it-there is no shell lift carrier button so as stated above, everytime you pull bolt open it stays locked open- on a 301 (and AL2 also)putting a second shell in mag tube, you will need to push closing button to get shell lift carrier to go up (hold button in with left thumb while pushing shell in to magazine with right hand)-301s have very nice engraving--for the most part all parts interchange with 303 ect

302 has round closing button ,which is same as 303 and newer models- main differance is that the trigger pin has a cutoff lever integrated which holds bolt open (feature not used much)-the trigger pin is held tight by a spring loaded ball,compared to 303 and newer model pins are held in by a hairclip that eventually will let pin slip out to some degree--also has engraving

303 is exactly like the 302 other than the trigger pin and most are plain sided- trigger & bolt assembly will also fit in -390 &391

Thanks...my brother has my dads old Beretta 32" trap fixed full..its got engraving so I'm assuming that means its a 301...I haven't seen it since dad passed in 99 and my brothers and I inherited what he left to each of us
