An operating system as simple as Beretta can make it. The 12 gauge A304 Silver Lark is chambered for 2-3/4 inch shells. It uses Beretta's traditional 300 Series gas system, with a rugged, one piece stainless steel piston. Proven over the years for its superior reliability, the system is self-cleaning. 

An array of features makes the A304 a technological standout.Ease of operation is just the beginning of what this remarkable gun offers the discriminating sportsman. The convenient magazine cut-off enables you to eject the cartridge in the breech and hand feed a different load without emptying the magazine. It's located on the left side of the receiver and can be engaged with one hand. You enjoy the versatility of Beretta's Mobilchoke® screw-in choke tube system. The cross bolt safety is reversible for left-handed shooters. The longer sighting plane, the finger wells in the well-proportioned, semi-Beavertail fore-end and the hand cut, wrap around checkering all combine to enhance the A304's accuracy, control and pointability. The receiver is satin finished to reduce glare. An ingenious, easily adjusted system of drop and cast washers are provided with every A304 to enable hunters to alter drop and cast on/cast off angle of the stock to fit each shooter's size and shape. Built to last for generations, the A304 Lark features a barrel made of nickel-chromium-molybdenum steel with a hard-chromed steel bore that ensures truer, more consistent shot patterns. The locking bolt and trailing arm assembly are constructed of heavy duty steel. The one piece trailing arm assures trouble-free operation. Anodized alloy and high strength steels are used throughout the gun's construction to withstand many years of corrosion and stress.
