While I was at the LGS picking up the HK shotgun and the Hämmerli 212, I spotted this little vintage Beretta 76. In Switzerland the permit to buy guns allows up to 3 weapons provided they come from the same seller on the same day. There is no limitation on the number of permits though. That leads to some compulsive buying to amortise the permit by filling up the third line. This is one classic example at $ 390.-
I also took it to the range but a buddy forgot that it was a 22 Long rifle day only and had brought a 9 mm, so I lent it to him. I just tried a couple of magazines on the gong at the end of the session.
Jeezus tits, man, your pictures are always astounding. Swiss-Land looks like a pretty cool place. Thanks for documenting shit like this. These photos and the threads will end up getting used for reference a decade or three from now.
Beautiful gun and pictures. You did a great job capturing their essence. Thank you for sharing.
Does Beretta offer serial number records? Colt has an archive service that provides details for the gun, and who purchased it from the factory. It comes in the form of a nice letter that goes nicely with the gun.
Your pictures look professional, especially the lighting which does the gun justice. Mine do the opposite, and it’s really fun to see pictures done right.
I do not think that Beretta offers this service. In fact I wrote them several time asking the year of manufacture of my 93 R, they never even bothered to respond.
