Drove almost 6 hours to pick this one up today, and I'm in love!!
2001 Beretta AL391 Urika Youth 20 gauge
This gun is crazy light!!
It is such a sweet shooter, and it is in much better condition than I imagined when I first saw pics.
Thanks to the staff at Michael Murphy and Sons for all the help with the purchase!
I will be patterning this one in the next few days!

Looks like its brand new. Good luck with it, what plans do you have for it?

Well, I was going to cerakote the receiver and barrel distressed bronze and leave the stock natural, as well as drill and tap the receiver for an optic. Now that I have it in hand and it is in such good shape, I'm hesitant to do anything with it! I may just end up putting a Meadow Creek mount on it and hunting it just like it is.

The Murphys are great people! I use a tru-glo rib mount on my ATI Cavalry. I feel it is a little heavier built than the Meadow Creek but that's my .02! Nice find on the Urika. That's an awesome find!!!

Thanks! I'm super excited about it!
It was my first time being there, but they have an awesome facility and were great help! I will definitely be back!
Thanks for the tip on the mount. I will look into that!

Mercy what a find
I bet that is sweet feeling to point. Im with you , itd be hard to coat that gun
I've got two 391's and they are super nice shotguns. A .575 carlson choke and Apex 9s are a tough combo

Thanks! I will have to give that a shot! I'm already on the lookout for another one that I can do some customizations on!
Very nice! I had a 391 20 gauge and loved it, wish I never sold it. I have been on the hunt for another one for the last few years.

Thanks! My grandpa had two xtrema 2's that I used a lot when I was younger to duck hunt. I always loved those shotguns! This is the first 20 gauge that I have had in a 391, and it will definitely not be the last!

Check out Sinclair for a front sling stud attachment. That was a hard part to track down for the 20 gauge 391s

Ok. I will check them out. I was wondering about that. Thanks!

I have the exact same gun and it's been sitting in my safe for years. Always wanted to make it a turkey gun. Please share what ammo/choke tube combo yours likes!
good looking turkey gun
Congrats on your new gun ...
My brother in law bought one for his wife a while back. I shot it when I went sporting clay shooting with him (I had not brought a gun to his daughter's wedding!). Holy smokes what a sweet shooting gun. I told him if he ever got rid of it let me know.
Well, I figured I would update this thread. I finished getting the Beretta set up for this year. I'm really liking it! Any suggestions on choke/ammo combinations are appreciated!
