Beretta SV10 Perennia I KO Instruction Manual - Page 43

DESCRIPTION The receiver, while maintaining the traditional Beretta locking system with trapezoidal shoulders and double longitudinal locking lugs, is strongly characterized by the sideplates that stand out from the sides in an arrow-head shape. The locking shoulders of the monobloc and their corresponding seats on the receiver feature new and increased shapes that are not only better integrated into the design of the sideplates, but also improve the efficiency of the lock-up. The styling refinements continue into the shape of the stock inletting, which now moves well forward into the sides of the receiver, consolidating the rigidity of the assembly. The new profile of the barrels also unifies form and function: the tubes elegantly blend with the receiver and ensure excellent strength and durability. The top moldings are gracefully modeled in harmony with the style of the receiver and simultaneously guarantee an improved field of view when sighting. Machined from a solid steel alloy billet, hardened and tempered, the receiver of the Perennia over-and-under provides a low and elegant profile that allows the redirection of the recoil in-line to the shooter's shoulder. The felt recoil is therefore reduced and the ease of shouldering increased. The high-strength alloy receiver is treated with an exclusive, nickel based, protective finish that enhances its durability and resistance to the corrosive elements of the environment. NEW TOP LEVER DESIGN The newly designed top lever features a wide surface area to ensure ease and comfort of operation. REINFORCED HINGE PINS Well proportioned yet characterized by a significant size, the hinge pins, also thanks to a new special internal reinforcement shoulder, offer the maximum resistance to the stress of years of use. Positioned as close as possible to the lower barrel axis, the pins allow the compactness, elegance and strength of the receiver. TRIGGER GUARD AND TRIGGER PLATE The strong trigger guard, machined from a single piece of steel, elegantly blends into the trigger plate via two rounded reinforcement ridges. Even in this case form and function are wisely intertwined. TITANIUM TRIGGER Exclusive prerogative of the most prized shotguns, the trigger of the Beretta Perennia is formed from solid, lightweight, titanium. This premiere material guarantees the durability and reliability of use, even in the most difficult hunting conditions. The mirror polish highlights the harmony of its shapes. BERETTA Q-STOCK®, PATENTED QUICK TAKEDOWN STOCK The new profile Q-Stock® features an exclusive attachment system to the receiver, patented by Beretta, which allows its disassembly in just a few seconds 43
