If it's priced right, I would grab it! I wouldn't worry about the locking block too much. The older blocks were rated for 20,000-25,000 rounds. If you ever decide to replace it, simply replace it with a new version. The new versions will fit all year models & are rated at 40,000-50,000 rounds. Also, anytime I buy a used pistol or one that has set for many years, I like to go through it and install a new recoil & hammer spring. Like others said, buy a 92/96 D hammer spring and you'll have a sweet trigger. Brownell's sells the recoil & D model hammer springs as well as new locking block kits. I own eight Berettas and have installed a D springs in all of them. Good luck.
