Oxon88 Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 i guess its 1986? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twitchynik Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 i guess its 1986? You won't get an absolute accurate age as those stamps are just to say when the barrels were proofed. I'd be happy in the knowledge that you have a good vintage Beretta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyb79 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I had one of these in a 20 bore. I spoke to GMK about steel proof, and their advice was that although its not marked up for steel proof, it would be fine providing I used less than 1/2 choke. That said, mine was a bit newer than yours, so probably worth double checking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
