Fix my gun I recently go the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol. Where can I find shim kits for it?

As the title states, I recently got that firearm. Been taking it out to the range and even doing a little skeet with it lol, but I'm pretty sure I need to drop the stock a bit. It sits a bit too high on my shoulder and for it to sit more naturally, I have to tip my head unnaturally to accommodate. L

But, the firearm didn't come with a shim kit, unlike another shotgun I own. I also can't find a shim kit for it, but the instruction manual has instructions for adding shims. What recourse do I have here? Should I take it to a gunsmith for fitting?

It's super fun to shoot but for me to have my head not tilted and stuff while looking down the sight, it basically just hammers my collarbone area lol.

Stoeger Canada supplies all Beretta parts and have a few shims available compatible with the A300.

You could even get the pro lifter (double check it's compatible) which is a cool upgrade.

Thank you, I'll check there. Also looking into this pro lifter, thanks for the tip!

Lol they have no shims and no pro lifter. Rip. Thanks for pointing them out to me, though.

I had to double check because I had bought them myself there a while back. Likely just need to adjust keywords.

For the pro lifter, you could also get that at tacord (tactical ordnance Canada).

Edit: as for the shims, you're looking for the standard Beretta 12 Gauge Drop Adjustment Kit (Part # E01630). As Stoeger is the exclusive distributor of Beretta parts for Canada, you'll need to contact them and have them order it in. All other Canadian retailers would get their parts from Stoeger for Beretta so that's pretty much your only bet unless you can source a set from the States. You could then also ask about the Pro Lifter if you want prefer to get it all from one place!

Both the Beretta Semi-Auto Elevator Pro 3", Beretta Stock Shim – 50/65 All models 12ga, and Beretta Stock Shim – 55/60 All models 12ga are in stock at Stoeger Canada's web store. I don't know how are you searching it. I cannot link them as it goes against the rules here.

Thank you! I searched "pro-lifter" and "pro lifter", and "Beretta shim kit" and "shim kit". Those returned nothing.

Mine came with different thickness shims and screws to adjust the length of pull. Check with the retailer you purchased it from?

u/MourningWood1942 May 31 '26

I think OP means the angle of the stock itself, not length of pull. Mine came with length of pull shims too

u/SilenceOfTheBoreal May 31 '26

Yes, this. I have all the length of pull shims installed as I'm tall. I definitely mean one of the shims internal in the stock.

u/elo_itr May 31 '26

Oh, I see. Thanks for clarifying. I'm not sure if there are shims to adjust the angle of the stock...
