About the Beretta A400
The Beretta A400 is a gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun line built for hunting and clay target shooting, using Beretta's Blink gas system to reduce recoil and increase cycling speed compared to earlier designs. It replaced earlier semi-automatic models in Beretta's lineup.
The A400 family includes configurations aimed at waterfowl hunting, upland hunting, and sporting clays, with differences in barrel length, camouflage or synthetic finishes, and choke systems depending on intended use.
Because it is a functional hunting and shooting gun rather than a collector-grade piece, buyers evaluating an A400 focus primarily on mechanical function, finish condition, and completeness of included chokes and accessories.

Valuation
What affects Beretta A400 value
We do not publish a price chart. These are the characteristics that determine what a specific example evaluates at.
Factor 1
Model variant and intended use
Xplor, Xtreme, Action, and Lite variants differ in finish, weight, and features, which affects how buyers categorize a given gun.
Factor 2
Finish and camouflage condition
Camouflage-finished waterfowl guns show wear differently than blued or synthetic field guns, and finish condition is a practical inspection point.
Factor 3
Gas system function
Because the A400 relies on a self-regulating gas system, whether it cycles reliably across load types affects how a buyer evaluates the gun.
Factor 4
Choke tube completeness
Whether the factory choke tube set is present affects how complete the shotgun appears.
Factor 5
Stock fit accessories
Some A400 models include shim kits for adjusting stock fit, and their presence adds to completeness.
Factor 6
Overall wear
Bore condition, action wear, and stock condition reflect the amount of field or range use a given gun has seen.
