This Silver Mallard features Beretta’s self-compensating, self-cleaning gas-operated action for reliable cycling across a range of 12-gauge loads. It uses a rotating bolt with dual locking lugs that lock into a barrel extension and ejects to the right, with a 3+1 capacity. The receiver is a light-alloy design with a matte black finish and tasteful factory light scroll engraving on both sides.
The 28 in vent-rib barrel is made from Ni-Cr-Mo steel and is chrome-lined for durability and easy maintenance. It is threaded for the Mobilchoke interchangeable choke system, with an IC choke installed. A single red front bead provides a clear sight picture on the rib.
The walnut stock and forend include cut checkering, sling swivel studs, and shim plates for adjustable drop and cast, allowing a tailored fit. Length of pull is 14.0 in. A cross-bolt safety sits at the trigger guard for intuitive operation.
Chambered for 2 3/4 and 3 in shells, this 1990s-era AL 390 brings Italian build quality and user-focused features together. The receiver bears the P. BERETTA – MADE IN ITALY marking, underscoring its origin and craftsmanship.
