drumsoldier Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hi Guys, Just wondering how I have done on this deal. Managed to get my hands on a Beretta 686 Special sporting m/c in I would say in very good condition,came with gun slip 5 chokes and 3 months warranty. Got it for £430 What you reckon?

Harnser Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Guns like cars are valued on condition and miles on the clock . If it is in good condition and not to many miles on the clock then you have bought well . Harnser . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 As above, if its tight and doesnt sound like an old gate when you close it How old is it, just out of interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumsoldier Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) As above, if its tight and doesnt sound like an old gate when you close it How old is it, just out of interest It has the most slightest of movement on possibly the hinge pins when the barrels are open but tight as a nut when ready to go. Not sure of age but serial reads ******B if anyone can help cant seem to find it myself. Andy Edited May 27, 2011 by drumsoldier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Italian Proof House date of proof (I recently sold the same gun to a chap on this forum, 20yrs old and barely used) Edited May 27, 2011 by sitsinhedges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drumsoldier Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Cheers buddy Had a look for the date and its stamped AU which is 1989,so bearing that in mind its in great condition for the age. ATB Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
