| I am going to build a 92 or 96 but I don't know where to get a parts list and I don't know how to assemble it. Could some one help me? |
Call Beretta and they might be able to send you a manual. If not, go down to your local Army/Navy store and pick up a copy of the military's M9 manual. Should have a diagram in there. |
| This website has a Military M9 manual that you can download in PDF. www.txmarks.org/articles.htm |
| If you get sent to Iraq and you need to fix a 92 you might be better off finding a different side arm altogether...its not like there isnt thousands of them over there right now. Additionally I dont suppose Beretta is going to be terribly cooperative with you unless you want to go to Beretta Armorers school and spend the big bucks. One more thing... A side arm is by definition a defensive weapon. If you are against terrorists i would hope you have a long gun of some sort. The 92 is nice but lets be honest would you feel comfortable armed with one against one or more people with AK-47s? |

The American Gunsmithing Institute puts out a series of videos on a assembly/disassembly and maintenance. Some are pretty detailed and worthwhile and some aren't. They have one for the Beretta 92 series but I haven't reviewed them. ETA: Web URL |
| Yeah, sounds like a good idea, but the more you look into it, the worse it gets. You end up paying a lot more for the parts than you would just buying the gun in the first place. We looked into that a long time ago when someone came up with the idea of making 80% frames for them. The frames would have been easy, but the rest of the parts and spotty availability made it a nightmare. I think mayby a half dozen people did go ahead with prototypes, and every one of them would have been better off just going out and buying a decent used police trade-in Beretta pistol. |
