Anyone ever had this problem

[Granby guy]

My son went goose hunting this morning and sent me a picture of his broken gun at about 7:30. This is a Barretta A400 outlander that is 2 years old and I don’t think he’s shot more than 5 boxes of shells through it. It fired 3 shells at the first group and broke in two pieces (literally) on his second shot at the next group. Does anyone have an idea what could have caused this? I am calling Beretta on Monday morning but that is a pretty scary deal. No one got hurt and luckily he didn’t pull the trigger a third time. The stock came completely off the guns and was in two pieces in his hands

Looks to me that it was a faulty part. The butt stock is attached to the action with a long bolt or screwed in sleeve. It is usually seviced thru the end of the stock. Did you take off the recoil pad? There probably is a piece of the broken part there.

Did a little more research....sent you a PM

Glad no one was hurt. I'm sure that surprised your son when he pulled the trigger and came up with two pieces of the shotgun in his hands.

Cant say I have seen that but I have not had a lot of experience with Beretta firearms in my life.

Hopefully they will repair it for him!
