Manufacturer: P. Beretta Gardone V.T Type: Shotgun Model: S686 Special Caliber: 12 GA Barrel Length: 26.5" Optics: N/A ATF Form 4473 Required: Yes Log: 3275 S/N: C98850B Ref #: N/A Notes: This shotgun is a Beretta Model S686 Special over-and-under shotgun chambered in 12 gauge and manufactured in Gardone Val Trompia, Italy. The S686 series forms part of Beretta’s long-running 680-family of boxlock over-and-under shotguns, known for their low-profile receivers, durability, and widespread use in sporting and field applications. Production year range: Based on Beretta serial number conventions and the S686 Special production period, serial number C98850B corresponds to manufacture in the late 1980s. Without the presence of a boxed Italian date code stamp on the barrel flats or receiver, a more precise year of manufacture cannot be conclusively stated. The shotgun is fitted with 26.5-inch barrels, resulting in an overall length of approximately 43 inches. It is chambered for standard 2¾-inch 12-gauge shells. Typical factory loads in this gauge, such as 1⅛-ounce shot charges, generally produce muzzle velocities around 1,200 feet per second, depending on ammunition selection. The S686 Special utilizes Beretta’s boxlock over-and-under action with a single selective trigger and automatic ejectors. The barrels are topped with a ventilated rib and a brass bead front sight. No optics are fitted. The shotgun weighs approximately 7 pounds and has a length of pull of approximately 14.5 inches. The stock and forend are walnut with checkered grip surfaces. The receiver is finished in blue and features light engraving typical of the model. Condition is good, with light handling wear consistent with normal use. The metal surfaces show minor surface marks, the wood exhibits small scuffs, the bores appear clean, and the action functions smoothly.
