Another great pic! Man the dog on the left is the twin to my black.Didn't get him in BC did you?

but to answer you question, high level
1) New gas relief spring valve system
2) 5 coil spring instead of 4
3) self cleaning piston, similar design to xtrema 2
4) receiver ligher and shorter, better handling
5) Thicker and heavier bolt assembly A400 Xtreme Gas cylinder collar NOTE: Lighter bolt assembly—rear of bolt cut-out (shaped) differently. Aids in better cycling with wide range of 12 Ga ammo types VS A400 Xtreme Bolt Assembly
6)A400 Xtreme Trigger Plate Assembly More Compact and redesigned
7) Xtrema 2 Standard Screw on Mag Cap A400 Xtreme (B-Lok) quick removal Mag Cap= Fast and Easy Disassembly!
8) A400 Xtreme NEW Kick Off Mega 70% recoil reduction with the NEW Kick-Off Mega system
9)Superior Corrosion protection with AQUA ™ Technology

Phew.................. oh and they have a POD- google it, cool feature, probably more so for the a400 trap and shoot guns, not so much the xtreme

Pixel Shooter - thanks for sharing this comparison - great information .... but now Im lusting for an A400 instead of a used Extrema2 ...sigh .. it never ends - they told me this would happen when it comes to guns (

I have the original extrema for sale in the EE and it is a stainless steel reciever.

I'm not sure about the original Xtrema but both the Xtrema2 and Xtreme have aluminum receivers.

My Xtrema 2 is not aluminum for sure because a magnet will stick to it and its about 3 times the weight of my Urika

I guess they made steel receivers at one point??? My X2 is aluminum and it's heavy too.

Taken from the Beretta website:

Aqua Technology is the name given to the exclusive special surface and protective treatments that are applied to the metal parts of the new Beretta A391 Xtrema2 shotgun. The steel barrel is chrome-plated inside to withstand the rigors of steel shot. The external surface of the barrel is first blued and then covered that an exclusive protective coating which remarkably increases its resistance to corrosion. The receiver is made of black anodized aluminum alloy and also boasts the same protective coating...
