Attractively figured, multi-point checkered beavertail forend and pistol grip stock with blued steel grip cap and leather wrapped recoil pad. Includes a Beretta takedown case.

Very fine as factory refurbished, retaining 97% plus blue finish with some areas of slight oxidation on the top rib, a few scratches towards the muzzles, and overall minor handling evidence. The factory replacement wood is also very fine with some chipping along the edges, a repaired crack, and some chipping on the right of the forend near the rear, otherwise minor handling evidence and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
