^^OH MY GOD - I ALWAYS WANTED A CLASSIC BROWNING LEVER ACTION - I thought about getting one in 12 Gauge but on CTD they are still around $1000
The DE .50 is always going to be crazy money, sigh. Prob won't be able to afford it for years. Since I already have a revolver shooting .357 I did notice if one were to get the .357 Desert Eagle its an "afforable" $1400 + shipping and FFL fees.
If you ever decide to sell the Browning let me know - although I probably never would if I were you, wow that is an awesome contest
Oh and the Beretta is a Model 102 - Same gun as the Model 76 and I don't know all the history of it but from what I'm reading they switched using the Series 70 numbers in the mid sixties or so and made them as Model 100,101,102 until sometime in the 70's? I don't have exact years, but from what I can tell its not a pistol you see every day. Is in good shape too, I will have to upload some pics from Tapatalk so they can resize it for the forum.
This is exactly what I have, and besides needing a good clean/lube with some Ballistol, I'm floored! Its like owning a classic Ferrari of firearms for me. Beretta's tolerances are TIGHT, amazed at how tight the gun felt and the slide still racked ultra smooth.
And I also scoured Ebay yesterday since I can't find them for sale through Beretta or most other places, found factory original new in box Walnut grips which are target grips and come in a shooting hand specific version (thumbrest on your non trigger finger side) - I shoot lefty so this was a sweet score! Never saw a need to buy lefty specific weapons but this will be nice and really dress up a period specific pistol! I'll have to dig some more to see when it was made if I can look it up by serial number somewhere.
