In this country the plain jane 424 only came with extractors in 12ga and either 26" or 28" barrels. It is for all intents and purposes the blue collar hunter's version of the current silver hawk, until Beretta abandoned offering that market a sxs.
This model was intended to be a hunter, nothing more. So it should be just the ticket for this person's intended use. They seem to go for about $1400 in average condition. The only caveat is parts may be hard to find, but what else is new.
Perhaps you can talk him into one final cleaning before it lives in the trunk?
