Hello all,
I am new to the forum and new to double guns. I only own two a this point, one old hardware store beater and a Beretta 409. My problem is that the English stock on my 409 needs replacing. A couple of questions:
Does anyone out there know where I can find one? And is the stock on the 409 the same as the silver hawk? Ive tried Cole's and no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The 409 Silverhawk is a bird of a different feather from the later Silverhawks, so be careful of what stock you are getting.

Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.

The 409 is the same gun as the OLD (1960's vintage) Silver Hawks, but--as postoak points out--not the new ones. However, there were a couple of different receiver designs on the 409's/old Silver Hawks. My Beretta catalog pages from 1963 show the standard 409 and the Silver Hawk magnum with "notch back" receivers, but the standard Silver Hawk with a straight back receiver.

Beretta's 409 is a fine shotgun and well-worth customizing to make it a favorite bird gun. If you have no luck with the usual suspects (Ahlmans, Bobs, Wisners, Numrich, First, GunPartsOnline, Lees), I suggest you try Gianni at: ordini@brignoliarmi.com http://www.brignoliarmi.com/web_eng/shop2.asp?id=6&id_1=3They don't list this part on their web site, but they've helped me with 409/410 parts in the past. Good luck.

You don't say why it needs a new stock. Rather than lose the original stock, I think I'd have a good stock man recondition it. It would probably cost less also as it is already fitted to the gun.

Warm welcome to the forum, NH.
Good point above on reconditioning. If your stock cannot be reconditioned, perhaps you can use a (fairly) simple buttstock transplant to replace bad wood or to deal with dimensions that do not work for you. You'd save major expense if the stockmaker does not have to inlet around the action.
Regards, Tim

The English stock is split completely in half at the wrist where a repair was previously made. To answer one of the other questions it is a 12 gauge (1948 vintage) with Krupps barrels. A beautiful gun otherwise. I've already checked out some of the suggestions you all have made with no luck, but there are some new directions you have provided that I will certainly explore.
