Beretta BL-4 20 Gauge – 1972, LM/F, 5LBS. 11OZ., BOXED

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 likely 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 wood has some figure with fiddleback that shows itself as you move the stock in the light…it even has gas vents that channels gas away from the face in case of a pierced primer. This Beretta BL-4, snX10988 built in 1972. 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. 11oz. with its 28” LM/F vent-rib barrels and full-length buttstock.  Balanced just a fraction in front of the hinge area, 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 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 (it is complete with its original factory box and papers) with this nice of wood for sale, and of course the 20ga. guns always bring a premium over the 12ga. guns…condition, rarity, and desirable features is what creates value in the gun market.  We are presenting this Beretta at a very affordable price just in time for some late summer practice before the fast-approaching upland bird season.  Thanks for looking.
