Beretta 303

[opto55]

Doe anyone know where I might find shims for a Beretta A303 . I want to adjust drop and cast off. Thanks

I'd probably take a look at stoeger Canada Maybe.

Don’t believe they made shim kits for the 303 series. Wasn’t until the 390 / 391 series they were available.

Mine came with them but the have long since evaporated into the ether as I didn't need them.

Beretta never made shims for the a303 as far as I know. Maybe look into getting your stock converted to an adjustable comb stock.

They show up on this schematic ht tps://www.omps2.it/en/firearm-spare-parts/2672-spacer-for-drop-65mm.html
but I think they only did drop. Here's a schematic showing it.

Are you saying that different washers (#36) are available to change the cast and pitch?

The washer shown has an odd shape to it so it can only be inserted one way and if you put a washer in with a different bolt hole location then you will need to add shims to where the stock meets the receiver or run the risk of cracking your stock. My A303 has never had any shims between the stock and receiver and shows no indication that the stock can be adjusted from the factory setting.
I’m not saying that you can’t get different washers than what comes with the gun but I find it unlikely.

There are different washers that adjust the drop as different washers have different numbers stamped on them. I don't think they adjust the cast. I think mine came with 3???

Thanks guys. All good information!

You still need a shim between the stock and the receiver to change the drop at comb. If the stock isn't flush on the receiver, there will be a lot of strain on the stock, and the tube that holds the stock to the receiver.
