Finally! The "little sister" to the Big Girl Stainless 96FS has arrived!
This came loaded from the factory - all Inox (Stainless) controls, stainless guide rod, no plastic parts
Date code is BF (as in Beretta Forum!), which means 1995 production year
Purchased BRAND NEW from old, discontinued inventory of firearms made in Gardone Via Trompia, Italy!!!
While the gun appears "dirty" or "damaged," it is actually the packing lubrication applied to the gun while in storage - it is SO old, it has dried and hardened to the gun! Needs a solid cleaning before shooting, which I will give it when the following items arrive....
Recently added!
Beretta Trident logo grey "ghost" wrap-around rubber grips
D-Spring
Still waiting on: Hex screws instead of the ugly flat-head ones that came with it....
