rich_morris Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Hi, My dad has a left handed Beretta 686, about 25 years old. Would a new(er) 686 stock still fit? Or do they require some "fitting" He wants to convert it to right handed for his grandson. Any ideas where I might get a used one/set? Might need a little taking off the stock.. Thanks Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Give Sporting Targets a ring 01234 708893, they hold a lot of Beretta woodwork and may even have one that has been shortened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_morris Posted September 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Thanks to both of you. I'll get in touch sporting targets, as they are not to far from me! I remember now they had some a while back. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are all 686 stocks likely to fit? I'll message you directly. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 There's a very good chance of any 687/687 stock fitting your action. I used to have a 1991 687 and a 2006 686E and I could switch stocks between them quite happily. Also I bought a S/H 687 silver pigeon 3 stock which I then used on the 686 for about 2 years. There was one significant difference though in that the earlier stocks which I think are pre 2000 or thereabouts had curved butt plates whereas later ones up to the present have flat butt plates.

figgy Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Any standard boxlock 68 series stock will fit, Any off the Gold Gold e will also fit and you can choose feild or sporter stocks. Just dont buy a side plate stock as they wont fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_morris Posted September 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Thanks to you both. I'll just need to find one now, and maybe Welshwarriors might hit the mark! Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnytheboy Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 If we are talking game guns, Pre 2015 686 stocks had 55mm drop at the heel and post 2015 have 57mm, maybe worth watching out for what one will fit the new owner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdc124 Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 Just now, TIGHTCHOKE said: Try the WANTED Section! I have an ad in the wanted section, but as this thread was started by someone who was swapping left to right, it seemed sensible to pass comment here too.
