INNOVATIVE LOCKING SYSTEM. The locking system of the Beretta SO10 over-and-under features a rear longitudinal bolt operating in a central position (between the two tubes), making the opening of the barrels smooth and noiseless, and minimizing stress when firing. Two additional lugs, located in the lower part of the receiver, further increase the strength and the efficiency of the locking system. As on the other Beretta SO models, the classic trapezoidal locking shoulders of the barrels work in contrast with the shoulders of the receiver. NEWLY DESIGNED TOP LEVER. The top lever, made from a solid block of steel, has been elongated and positioned closer to the breech face in order to render the opening of the barrels smoother. The absence of a retaining screw on the top lever has given the Master Engraver a wider uninterrupted surface that can be engraved. The safety on the open top lever blocks the firing mechanism if the receiver is not completely closed. An automatic safety, that engages when opening the top lever, is available on request. - 64 -

INNOVATIVE LOCKING SYSTEM.
The locking system of the Beretta SO10 over-and-under features a rear longitudinal bolt operating in a
central position (between the two tubes), making the opening of the barrels
smooth and noiseless, and
minimizing stress when firing. Two additional lugs, located in the lower part of the receiver, further increase
the
strength and the efficiency of the locking system. As on the other Beretta SO models, the classic
trapezoidal locking shoulders of the barrels work in contrast with the shoulders of the receiver.
NEWLY DESIGNED TOP LEVER.
The top lever, made from a solid block of steel, has been elongated and positioned closer to the breech face
in order to render the opening of the barrels smoother.
The absence of a retaining screw on the top lever
has given the Master Engraver a wider uninterrupted surface that can
be engraved. The safety on the open
top lever blocks the firing mechanism if the receiver is not completely closed. An automatic safety, that
engages when opening the top lever, is available on request.
