25 yr old Beretta 92F

[Blackmore]

Recently picked up a new barrel and locking block kit for my Beretta 92F that I got a while back from a really great guy here on GunNutz.
Nothing wrong with the original barrel but for $130 it looks like new.
Was wondering just how old it was so I looked up the code stamped on it and AT was made in 1988, 25 years ago. It's in amazing shape for being around that long.
I really like the older models that have all steel parts and don't have the 'read your manual' stamped on the side.
Also changed out the flathead screws for hex, think they look better and don't strip as easy

This design is truly timeless.

I agree, can't count how many movies I've seen them in
wanted one since I was a teenager

Nice.

 

[Blackmore]

Thanks

Glocks and CZ's are fun but Beretta's are just so damn ###y

Yah I always keep an eye out for a good deal on one

Is that a steel recoil spring rod? Only thing I dislike about my newer model 96a1 is the plastic rod.

 

[Blackmore]

Yes, the older ones had no internal plastic parts that I know of

Looks better then some of my newer ones the finish must have been stronger back then.
