Now you can enter the serial number of your firearm and be directed to the correct schematic for it as well as order parts through our partners Brownells, Inc. and Midwest Gun Works. Additionally, you can see the approximate date of manufacture as well as being able to view/download an owners manual, choke tube information (where applicable and available) and product literature relevant to your firearm when we have the information available. We have recently added barrel information as well.
Please enter the serial number of your firearm below and click search. This application only works for firearms imported and distributed by Beretta USA Corp. and is updated on a regular basis.
For the search to work, please enter your serial number in all UPPERCASE letters and numbers with no spaces between the characters. Be certain to not confuse numeric and alphabetic characters, such as O's for zeros or we will be unable to locate your serial number. Only enter the serial number and no additional information. Do not insert spaces between any character in your serial number. For example: use BER431605 and not BER 431605.
- To find the year of proof of your Beretta Shotgun you’ll need to find the Date Code. This will either be Roman Numerals for earlier guns or two letters for later guns. The position of this varies from gun to gun but is usually hidden from view without breaking the gun down. Here seen at the rear of the barrels, underneath the chambers on an Over and Under.
- The Roman numerals appearing on Beretta pistols which were made during the Fascist regime represent the year of that regime and probably were required by government order. 1934 Berettas made in 1941 and 1942 are normally in the 800,000 to 900,000 range of serial numbers. Variant serial numbers are frequently found, however.
If there is a 'Y' at the end of your serial number, please omit this character when entering your serial number.
