A friend of mine has a B-80 and it is a POS. He has the same problems with it that MT had; however, it will cycle the 3" magnum loads rather decently. For him to hunt doves with it one year, I had to load 1.5 oz. of #7.5's into a 2 3/4" hull for him. That thing sounded like a canon.
Quite honestly, if you find the Beretta stamp on a lot of the Browning gun's parts, you should ask yourself why. Why would Beretta manufacture parts for a competitor. Personally, I think it was Beretta's reject parts that Browning happened to find in a dumpster/dump and decide to build guns with. LOL
