Identification and exploded view please

**ysman** · 30-10-2011, 20:43

Hi.

I own a Beretta 12G over under shotgun with double trigger, and have broken a firing pin.
I need to find an exploded view which might show me some part numbers.

Information on gun is:
12G
Choked barrels
Silver neck/frame and blue steel barrels.
Model shows S.55 Patent
Made in Italy

Or perhaps a pointer to the importers or agents for Pietro Beretta for S.A?

Thanks

Old but good field guns. You may also look for 'Silver Snipe' or 'Gold Snipe' (the S56). Parts are very difficult to find now in the states, and I was not even able to locate a free schematic download for you. Specialty Beretta parts places such as Bob's here may still have parts now and then. I doubt Beretta has had for years now but there may be some other OU firing pin that can be easily adapted.

Can't help you with the Beretta guys in SA. Is yours all Italian or a combo gun...Argentine and Italian?

Good luck,,,that is too nice a shotgun to not be used!

Thanks.
It's Italian, saw no Argentinian writings.

Yes, I also googled for schematics, but could not find. I suspect that there must be some firing pins which are universal.

If the gunsmith is worth his salt he should be able to turn a duplicate out of the correct material to ensure a durable replacement. Had my Khan shotgun done by someone in Vereeniging and it is funtioning correctly.

Ysman, good to find you here. This is not my first love, Alfas were first, but this is the greater love.

I would take the gun to a good smith, in Pta I like Thor engineering for stuff like this. But there are well known smiths in your neck of the woods. Or you could sell the broken thing to me, it is effectively a single shot now.
