Beretta A302 20 gauge shotgun

26" barrel - 3" mag - excellent condition with very few stock impressions not scratches. External nut choke system with Imp Cyl, Intermediate, and Full chokes. Plastic bottle containers for the chokes, choke wrench, and snap cap. Only works with field loads. Has a full vent rib. First $550.00 gets it.

What do you mean by only works with field loads?

I think he means it doesn't cycle light target loads well ie 7/8oz low brass.
Game loads with high brass 2.75 or any 3" likely does fine. In some shotguns this can be adjusted by reversing or changing friction rings.

That is correct.

Took a cursory look at a breakdown diagram for this series. The gas piston and vent ports may need a deep cleaning: in addition, the recoil spring is in the stock and may also need same followed by light lubrication. There are no friction rings in this design.
