Has anyone purchased one of the 390's from
Waly world. Any differences in 390's purchased from firearms dealers & W/W. How does it hold up under harsh conditions? Will sure cycle help? Only been duck hunting a few years. Thanks.

Bought one in May and have run approximately 750 - 1000 rounds through it shooting clays. I've shot maybe 25 3" ronds through it checking the pattern. The only jam i had was because of my own haste and stupidity. I didn't clean it thoroughly when I took it out of the box because I was in such a hurry to shoot it. I stopped and broke it down, cleaned it in the field with some gun scrubber, and it hasn't slowed down a bit. Two friends who shot it on the range liked it so much that they searched around the Atlanta area and found one for themselves and neither of them have had a lick of a problem. All of us were Remington men before buying these guns. We all got the synthetic 28" guns. Great gun for the money. If you don't need the 3 1/2" stuff, I would recommend it highly.

I got one for my "leave it in the boat all season, spare". It really is a nice gun, (as are all Beretta's). I've been happy with several AL 390's I've had, and I'm sure this one will be the same. PS, a sure-cycle allways helps....

I bought one from Wally World last February and love it. Hasn't jammed once, I've shot the lightest loads possible to the heaviest without any problems. Plus that $200 discount on the gun isn't bad either. The Wally World in Starkville still has one left if you are interested.

I don't wanna give any bad advice. So it really aint advice at all, but the same question was asked on the Louisiana forum on SDH and lots of people had lots of problems with the guns from wal mart. Not sayin' ya'll are liars, but like 10 people posted negative stuff about them. You could check that out if ya like for more info.

$529.99, A lot of wally world guns are made cheaper by the manufacturers, but the Beretta in question is the real deal.

I think the regular 390 is the best gas gun ever made. I assume the Wally World 390's are the same as the others, until someone can show me different.

Got one as soon as I could when it first came out. Without a doubt the best gun I own. Shoot Remington and Browning auotloaders and it ain't even close. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Hey fellas. I am new hear and I think what I am going to post is true. It was posted on another board that the only diff. in the W/W 390 and the "others" The W/W does not have the engraving therefore alowing them to have a cheaper price. Quality wise they are identical
