Well Ladies and Gentleman, the moment of truth is here! The 15SA has landed and we have unpacked a couple to check them out. We have grabbed our Demo here and Wolverine Guy took her out of the box, put 40rds of 2 3/4 target load through them without any failures ( Much more to come trust me ). First impression is very good, hand guard is poly, however looks and feels solid, same as the folding unit for the stock. Sights are a bit of an improvement over the previous ones on our originals. The magazines are a tight fit, and they do not drop free. However I see over time that they would wear in fairly well and the issue would no longer exist. Comes with 4 additional chokes and two mags, choke wrench and manual. The pistol grip compared to the older versions is a bit larger (Should say longer) as well, not in the sense of being uncomfortable but nice if you have larger mitts like some folks. Flash hider is a bit more modest than the older version, not so much of a hybrid style but we have solutions for that trust me! The new batch of shotguns appears to have the same thread pattern as the UTAS 15! So any existing UTAS barrel extensions and chokes would work for her, These are a Benelli Pattern Thread. It appears there was a change in the last few years on the patterns, the original two were Mossberg/Weatherby. More testing/trials/info to come shortly.
INTRODUCTORY SPECIAL ALPHARMS 15 SA SHOTGUN $555.00 plus shipping and tax.
Do not confuse these guns with the Match model offered by Tactical Imports, their model has aluminum hand guards and includes other upgrades.
My understanding is that the AKAL 1919 was the original design and all other offerings have following her.
