Beretta BL4 20/28 Ga – RARE 2 GAUGE SET, 99%, 5LBS. 11OZ., vintage firearms inc

Description:
General Specs: Beretta, 1970, 28/20 Gauge, 5lbs. 10oz.; 6lbs., Chokes SK1/SK2; SK1/SK2, LOP 14 5/16", DAH 2 1/2", DAC 1 1/2"
Serial Number:  X05337

The Beretta BL-4 was imported into the States between 1968 and 1976 as a high quality, lightweight alternative to the Browning Superposed. These OUs combined features of Beretta’s expensive, handmade ASEs and sidelock S1s with mass-production techniques.”  The BL-4 we show here is the best value you can find in a very high-quality Italian over/under.  The action is hand engraved with 80% coverage, the stocks are hand checkered, the breech area of the barrels are jeweled, and the gun is hand fit by gunmakers, not CNC machinists.  It even has gas vents that channels gas away from the face in case of a pierced primer. This Beretta BL-4, snX05337 built in 1970, IS A RARE FIND AS ONE OF A FEW THAT WERE BUILT AS A TWO BARREL SET IN 20 GAUGE AND 28 GAUGE, THE PERFECT OVER/UNDER FOR YOUR SMALL-BORE UPLAND HUNTING OR CLAYS GAMES. It retains 99% factory blue on the barrels, action, and trigger guard, with only a few light field marks in the woods finish. This gun weighs an amazing 5lbs. 10oz. with its 26.5” twenty-gauge barrels, 6lbs. with the 26.5” 28ga. barrels and full-length buttstock.  Balanced dynamically between the hands, this gun is slender and fast handling and a joy to carry all day over hill and dale in pursuit of your favorite gamebird.  With the 3” factory chambers on the 20ga. barrels and reliable single selective trigger, you can even pursue tough late season pheasants in the icy cold cattail marshes. You will rarely see a BL-4 in such high condition and certainly not as a factory two-gauge small bore set, and of course the small gauge guns always bring a premium over the 12ga. guns…condition, rarity, and desirable features is what creates value in the gun market.  THE GUN IS SHOWN WITH A NEW NEGRINI AIRLINE APPROVED CASE AS AN OPTION TO HOUSE THE SET.  RETAIL VALUE IS $539.  IF YOU WANT IT WITH THE GUN ADD $450 TO THE ASKING PRICE. We are presenting this Beretta at a bargain price just in time for upland bird season.  You may never see a set like this again, and you simply can’t find a better-quality over/under in 28/20-gauge combination like this at such an affordable price.  See specifications below.  Thanks for looking.
