Beretta 390 replacement stock

[rhinonewshooter]

I have looked at a few Beretta 390s, but all I have seen are ones with synthetic stock. Are walnut stocks available as an aftermarket addition/what are the costs?

It would seem that having both options might be nice - walnut for skeet/trap range, but synthetic for actual hunting.

Do many folks do this (when you only have one shotgun)?

Not to my knowledge. Sounds like a lot of trouble just for show-n-tell at the range. When you are at the trap range, breaking 25 means more than looking good.

I know, but my primary hobby is woodworking and it would kill me to use a shotgun with synthetic stock.

Cole's in Maine - Rich is THE Beretta go-to guy for a lot of parts, repairs, and customizations - be warned, nice stocks aren't cheap

So how much are we talking - enough to push me to a 3901 with a wood stock?

No, nobody I know does that on a shotgun ...but then I don't know anyone that only has one shotgun either ..

Its going to cost you between $ 400 and $ 500 for a wood stock ...( even for one that it was made from the finest " shipping grade pallets " they could find .../ or you can go up to about $ 2,000 ...or more, depends on what you want.

You can sway out a stock and forend - in about 30 minutes ...but its a lot of trouble ...when you can just buy 2 guns. Buy a couple of used guns ...you'll be way better off ....

Even if you did get some decent new stocks, the matte finish on the 390 will temper the beauty of the wood. You have a great excuse to purchase another shotgun.

Beretta USA and Gunbroker.com. 390 sets come up all the time. They run $2-300. Satin finished stocks will look fine on a matte gun and if you need to shorten the LOP they're much easier to work with. As for trouble, it takes a phillips head screwdriver for the pad or buttplate and a 13mm socket for the stock and about 5 minutes. Its your gun, do what you want and dont worry what others think.
FWIW I switched stocks on my AL390. I dont like plastic, so I watched Gunbroker till I found what I was looking for and payed a fraction of what they cost new. I switch back to plastic when duck season rolls around. Saltwater is hell on wood stocks. After turkey season the wood goes back on.
