It is equipped with a black textured TruGlo TG185X extra-full turkey choke tube and a TruGlo red fiber-optic front sight. The barrel markings indicate it is chambered for 2 3/4 inch, 3 inch, or 3 1/2 inch shells and includes the instruction to read the owner’s manual before use. The left side of the receiver is marked Nova pump action and BENELLI U.S.A. CORP. – ACCOKEEK, MD. MADE IN ITALY, while the right side displays the Benelli logo and BENELLI ARMI – URBINO – MADE IN ITALY. The serial number Z701422Y is located on the underside of the receiver. The shotgun is completed with a black rubber recoil pad embossed with the Benelli logo. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The exterior camouflage finish shows significant wear, with noticeable peeling and loss on the barrel, receiver, and around the ejection port, exposing the underlying black metal surfaces. Handling marks, scratches, and scuffs are present across the synthetic furniture and receiver. The bore is bright and appears to be in good condition. The pump action and trigger appear to function correctly, though the firearm has not been test-fired. The rubber recoil pad shows light surface wear but remains intact.
