Nice! And a cool Beretta to boot!
My favorite .22 pistol is my Beretta 76.......highly accurate and retro-cool. |
|
Great setup. I've been wanting a 70S ever since the 80's and have never found one.
Trivia question: What is the 70S's claim to fame? |
|
|
Used to be fielded by Israeli Air Marshals. Also, the pistols issued to the operatives that hunted down the terrorists who committed the atrocities at the '72 Olympics in Munich.

Love the Israelis. I've spent a bit of time there and trained with elements of the IDF as well as their "Fed LEO's".
If I ever have to leave the US for good, I'm going to Israel. |

I sighted in my little badger with ccI quiets in my basement with the AAC pilot. The sound of the bullet going through the the cardboard box was the loudest part.
Haven't tried then in a semi. I have subs for that. Still want a Beretta 21a a |

That was a fun one to thread! I actually have a similar project in the to do- a Walther TPH. I've been scoping out the Beretta 76 and 87 Target models on gunbroker.

I was typing and posting mine simultaneous with you. I know, I was just ribbing you a little. I suspected the two of you would know. I read the book Vengeance by George Jonas when it came out in 1984. In the book, Jonas claimed the 70S was the pistol used by the Mossad hit squads. I figured any pistol used to whack a bunch of terrorist was high on my list to get. Too bad they were discontinued around the same time. FYI, I had a buddy who was a former CIA officer and he told me they also used the 70S in small numbers because they made good suppressor hosts and were deniable. |

p0p0k0pf, the 76 is a great pistol. I got mine off GB years ago, with 2 mags. Picked up 3 more mags since then. If you were thinking of using it as a suppressor host, it would take some fancy machining to make it happen.
Shot mine quite a few times at the Steel Challenge in Griffin, did very well. |
|
hey IKH, have you founf a decent source for spare mags for your 70? I've got one too. Favorite 22 by far, (and i plan on having Jason work his magic as well.) but I've only got one mag. I've been looking for over a year and I can't find any spare factory mags for it.

What would be the best place to find one of those Beretta? Assume just watch the classifieds?

What would be the best place to find one of those Beretta? Assume just watch the classifieds? If you want to pay top dollar, Gunbroker or Armslist. Honestly I stumbled on that one when I was visiting Cherokee Gun & Pawn. Rich took care of me on it and I was more than happy. The best places are random pawn shops and gun stores. It will take up a lot more time and money doing it that way though. Quoted:
By "Replacement" mag, is that Triple K and not an original? That is what I am assuming, but the 10rd mag said factory. |

Every time I see a 70 it makes me think of some bad guy on an old James Bond movie.

My preferred retro suppressor host is a Russian Makarov with a Russian made .22 adaptor kit with a thread adaptor. Suppressed Russian Makarov FTW

Not the most comfortable thing to shoot but built like a tank even though it is very light and packable. More accurate than I am too
I would buy it again in a heartbeat! |

3 more 21As gained the ability to host a can today. Ask me how I know. : )

I've probably put 2k rounds through it since. Which is a lot when you consider I only have 1 8rd mag for it. |

BH is that because the barrel is fixed and the slide actually slides off over the end of the barrel? I have never seen one so just guessing here.

Everyone in the shop loved that one.

Btw, what would be a decent price for one of these, should I ever manage to find one? Also (you can IM if needed), what's the cost to thread one? Thanks guys. |

Derek can tell you more on the pistol cost.
For threading it, we needed to thread the barrel, make a custom adapter and thread that on the inside to fit the barrel and then thread externally for the suppressor. Knurled thread protector and the set screw are the last pieces. Total was $210. Mark |

I'm guessing threading for a Beretta 21a would be around the same as the 70s? |
|
I too have a 21a. Mine is matte stainless with a prodigy on the end. Fun gun!
Got mine from Accurate Ordnance less than a yr ago. At the time they were a stocking item already threaded. Reach out to Bookhound for 21a. Another htf member and i have been discussing the 70 and other similar size 22's lately. How do they compare to the 21a? I love the size of the 21, but wouldn't mind adding another slightly larger pistol with a little better sights. It's always easy to justify adding another 22 to the safe. |
|
BH's 21a was the first suppressed weapon I had ever seen let alone shot. I bought my pilot that day!
it's been down hill (for my bank account) since then. |
|
The cost for the 21A threading is $190, which includes the thread protector.

If Memory serves right the 70S was $400-$450 or so.
Gunbroker will being a premium. If you see one in a local shop make the shop an offer on it. Adter all this talk I think that I am going to look for another one. This one with a thumb safety. |

If you find one up in your area that's in good enough condition for a good price, please contact me (I'm in Savannah). I've only bought one gun from a pawn shop, and I think I got a good deal on it. Offered cash, and it was that price out the door. It's a Glock 33, and just last night I was able to find a Lone Wolf 9mm conversion barrel for it for only $90 shipped. 9mm is lot's cheaper than .357 Sig, plus I can use my other 9mm Glock mags in it if needed then. |

FYI - I finally found a Beretta 87, so I listed my 70s on ODT.
I need to get it added to the EE here as well... |
|
Sorry Acct- I didn't see your post!
I don't have a cutter to make such a small dovetail along the bore-line, so the sight would have to be installed another way. It could be laser-welded or soldered on and re-shaped, but that would be a bit of work that is outside my knowledge area. |

I liked the original pic OP but this shit with the CT laser looks like a retard designed it.
You should know never to go full retard.
