Manufacturer was P Beretta Gardone, V.T., and so marked, continuing over the left chamber, 3 1/2 inch Steel Shot. From its BB date code, it was manufactured in 1992. Importer mark on the right chamber reads Beretta USA Corp, Ackk, Md. / Made in Italy. Type is waterfowl design, over and under shotgun. Chambering is for 12 gauge, any shell length from 1 3/4 inch all the way up to 3 1/2 inch. Construction is entirely steel metal. Buttstock and forend are Italian Walnut. Barrel is 28 inches, chrome lined. Choke threads are Beretta Mobil type. The Five Choke Tubes included are a One Slash .688 Full Choke for Lead Shot only; two each 3 Slash mark .7035 Modified Tubes for lead or steel; one each 4 slash .713 Improved Cylinder lead or steel; and one each .7235 Five Slash Skeet or Cylinder, lead or steel.

Stock and forend are satin finish walnut. Surface detractions on this 686 are minimal, principally weakening to the trigger finish, and edge wear left side trigger guard. We rate this shotgun as Excellent Condition, 90 percent vicinity by our estimate, but photos ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. Bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright and clean. We estimate this 686 was fired fewer than 300 times, mostly with 2 3/4 inch shells.
