Wtb Beretta-AL390

[Pitterpatter]

Looking for a Beretta-AL390 12 gauge to replace my silver mallard that was stolen a couple years ago. It was the first gun I bought and learned to shoot with. I've never shot another quite as well as it. Prefer wood with a 26" barrel but I'm not too picky at this point. Let me know what you have. Thanks

I’d go with an A400, I had a 390 with a 26” barrel and didn’t like it. I then bought a A400.

Keep at it til you get the 390. One of the best ever made.

Find the configuration you're looking for in the 391. Having lived in the competitive shotgun world for all of my adult life, they just keep going. They are the Everready bunny of the gas-operated shotgun market.

My 390 had been used as a walking stick in the marsh, paddle, club as well as killed a few birds. The wood stock had swole up from 1/4 on each side of the butt pad. It never missed a beat. I'm hoping to get another and treat it better than I did in my youth.

Not arguing w/ the greatness of your gun, nor your experience. Hell, I have a 303 that has 150K rounds through it and all I've ever done is spray it down w/ Brake Cleaner, WD40 and the occasional bore snake. I just think the 391 is the highest evolution of the Beretta Semi-Auto shotgun. I wish you the best in your search.

I'll have to find a 391 to try out.
The Advice is appreciated. Maybe it's just nostalgia tugging at my heart strings. Nothing quite like your first...

If I could find another 390 silver mallard I’d buy it….. price point doesn’t matter, I love those shotguns!

I have one, and it will be cremated with me when I die in 50 years

You really got my hopes saying you had one... then I read the rest. That's just selfish. Can't you see I'm a man in need!
