Like any gun, it should be cleaned prior to use. The ejectors most likely have some of the factory protectant/goo in them, and just need to be cleaned/lubed. You can remove & clean the ejectors, or blast them with some arasol cleaner/lube (Rem oil, etc.), and work the ejectors to flush out the goo.
The plunger should be a little off center to aid smooth closing of the action.

The ejector can be easily removed and replaced if necessary. Check out this video on how to do it:


Try removing the one having issues and give it a good cleaning and lubing. Replace it if you continue to have trouble.

The Beretta system is actually pretty good compared to the Browning Citori's, which is what my wife has. The Browning uses screws that aren't pinned correctly at the factory and can come loose, causing the ejector to fly out. I had to replace one of those recently with the gun being less than 1 year old.

the plunger that you depress to re-center the action lock

Bold part has me stumped as to what you are describing.

And as Bear said, the ejectors twist out. Best to keep them in their respective positions though. IIRC they are universal.

What shells? Steel based hulls can be more issue that brass based hulls.

They were steel based hulls but the top ejector is very rough and sticky when I press it in by hand.

Are you saying not to remove the ejector in question?

Here is a photo showing the plunger I was describing.

That doesn't look good, What does Oaktree say?

[Tarmy]

How much have you used it...seems like it has some wear...was it a demo?

OP. I have 4 silver pigeons. 12, 20, 28, and .410. All four were purchased at different times and all 4 plungers are angled just like your pic. It seems very probable that it's by design. The 12 gauge probably has 4000 rounds through it without issue. The others are closer to 2000 and under. FYI.

i have 4 beretta over unders, including two high end DT11s. For some reason Beretta seems to do a poor job in timing the ejectors. luckily the fix is pretty easy.

On beretta over unders the ejector is activated by the ejector trigger located in the forend. This is the part that sticks into the action when you install the forened. If you remove the forend iron from the wood and then install it you can observe how these levers activate the ejector mechanism.

It's pretty obvious if you do this and you can see how/why the ejector is sticking. usually it's just a case of minor filing to get it work right. Don't file the ejector itself, just file the ejector trigger in the forend. (note ejectors are expensive, but the ejector trigger is cheap in case you mess it up).

or since it's new you could just send it in for warranty. But try it out with the wood removed, and it will be fairly obvious what you need to do.

edit -- just remove a tiny bit of material to allow the ejector to come free. this is on the ejector trigger on the forend iron. don't file the ejector itself.

this video shows it very clearly

Excellent gun design. The tight tolerances and excellent machining mean that yours may need lubrication, breaking in, or a tiny adjustment. The video link provided by beetle is a very good description. I'd start with a good lubrication.

No. Remove and clean. Just don't mix them up.

Test the individual parts along the way.
