" With the opening lever pressed right down, use a soft tip-punch to raise the
upper end of the breech-bolt fork release lever (Fig. 10) and partially lever the
barrel upwards until the fork release lever button is aligned with the fork hole
and it engages completely (Fig. 11).
" Release the opening lever and completely break open the barrel to disengage
the breech bolt fork. Close the barrel against the receiver.
" Mount the fore-end, taking care to center the radius of the fore-end iron (the
curved metal part) with the front of the receiver (Fig. 12).
" Rotate the fore-end upwards until it comes into contact with the barrel and
press the fore-end against the barrel with your hands (Fig. 13). This causes the
wooden part to envelope the barrel and to be in close contact with the side
bands on the barrel (Fig. 14).
WARNING: Do not store firearms in places which are or could be accessible by
!
children or other persons whose unfamiliarity with firearms might lead to unsafe
use. Always store your firearms securely and unloaded, separate from
ammunition. (See point 3 of the BASIC SAFETY RULES).
WARNING: When the shotgun has been assembled, it is in the HAMMER COCKED
!
position. To decock the hammer, refer to the paragraph DECOCKING THE
HAMMER .
LOAD CHECK
At various parts in this manual, you are instructed to visually inspect the cartridge
chamber and the cartridge carrier of the Beretta break-open semiautomatic
UGB25 Xcel to make sure it is unloaded. This operation as well as the precautions
below should become second nature to you:
" Never assume that the gun is unloaded.
" Never point or push the gun toward yourself or another person.
" Always visually inspect the cartridge chamber and carrier to make sure they are
empty.
" Before handing the gun to anyone else, turn the opening lever downwards,
break open the barrel and engage the safety. The safety only engages with the
hammer cocked.
" Never take or pull the gun from anyone else unless the barrel has been opened,
the cartridge chamber and the cartridge carrier have been visually inspected to
make sure they are empty, and the safety is engaged.
Proceed as follows to visually inspect the cartridge chamber and carrier:
WARNING: Always keep your finger off the trigger and the barrel pointed in a safe
!
direction.
" Operate the opening lever to break open the barrel (Fig. 15).
" Look into the cartridge chamber to check it is empty (Fig. 16) and make sure
there is no cartridge on the cartridge carrier.
" Lever the barrel upwards to close the shotgun.

WARNING: THE HAMMER IS COCKED. Point the barrel in a safe direction to
!
decock the hammer, following the instructions in the relevant section.
OBSTRUCTION CHECK
Visually inspect the barrel to make sure there are no obstructions in the barrel
and chamber. This operation is extremely important because if another cartridge
is fired with the barrel or chamber obstructed, a catastrophic failure can result.
WARNING: Always make sure the shotgun is unloaded. Refer to the instructions
!
in the above section: LOAD CHECK .
" Lower the opening lever and break open the barrel (Fig. 15).
" Look right through the barrel from the rear end and make sure there are no
obstructions, even minor ones.
If an obstruction in the barrel is detected, a competent gunsmith must remove the
obstruction and inspect the shotgun before it can be fired.
DECOCKING THE HAMMER
WARNING: Always make sure the shotgun is unloaded. Refer to the instructions
!
given in the section: LOAD CHECK .
Every time the barrel is broken open the hammer will be cocked. It is advisable to
decock the hammer to keep the hammer spring uncompressed until the shotgun
is fired.
CAUTION: It is important not to decock the hammer on an unloaded gun without
the use of snapcap to avoid the possibility to damage the firing pin.
DRY FIRING/SNAP CAP
Dry firing is defined as firing a firearm with no cartridge in the chamber. The snap
cap is an inert chamber insert that allows the gun to be dry-fired without damaging
the firing pin. Snap caps are available from all gun shops.
" Break open the barrel by operating the opening lever (Fig. 15).
" Insert the snap cap in the cartridge chamber.
" Close the gun.
" Pull the trigger to decock the hammer.
NOTICE: Do not open the gun to remove the snap cap if you wish to avoid
recocking the hammer.

AMMUNITION
AMMUNITION (CARTRIDGE) NOTICE: Beretta assumes no responsibility for
physical injury or property damage resulting from the use of defective, improper,
hand-loaded, reloaded or remanufactured ammunition. Serious damage and
injury, and even death, could result from the use of incorrect ammunition, from
firing against bore obstructions and from propellant overloads.
Use only high-quality, commercially-manufactured ammunition. Be certain that the
cartridge is the appropriate gauge and loading for the shotgun and is clean, dry,
and in good condition.
WARNING: Carefully inspect each cartridge before it is inserted in the chamber or
!
on the cartridge carrier. Be certain the cartridge cases are not split, deformed,
or the cartridges do not possess any other dents or defects (this applies even to
factory ammunition).
The Beretta break-open semiautomatic UGB25 Xcel features a 70 mm (23/4 in.)
cartridge chamber. You will find the markings for the gauge and chamber length
for your shotgun on the left of the barrel extension. This shotgun has been tested
with special proof test ammunition.
WARNING: Never use cartridges that do not correspond to the markings on the
!
barrel.
WARNING: Only use cartridges with a length equal to or less than the chamber
!
length indicated on the barrel.
STEEL SHOT
The barrel with fixed choke of the Beretta break-open semiautomatic UGB25 Xcel,
as well as the SP (Steel Proof) Beretta stainless steel Optimachoke® tubes, are
designed for use also with factory steel shot cartridges loaded to standard
specifications. When firing steel shot cartridges, with fixed choke barrel or with
the Beretta stainless steel Optimachoke® tubes, the best results are obtained
