Fabarm 14" question

I've had my fabarm for 3 years now. I love it. Light, compact and highly weather resistant. Aluminum receiver, parkerized barrel, chromed bore. I do not have to worry about it. I take it up north, it sits for days in a camper, I've had it in rain and snow. It's great. The price has gone up a bit since I bought mine, but I'd get another one without hesitation. One of the best out of the box shotguns around IMO.

So ya it turns out that I went with the regular stock over the pistol grip for a couple of reasons. Mainly cause I felt the regular stock fir better and secondly because when packing around the pistol grip would just be that much larger. I know that because I sold my Benelli Super Nova in pistol grip to get this one. And even from the Benelli I can feel the craftmans ship that much better.
Recoil is a bit more, but I'll just hvae to stop shooting 3" out of her. But after finding some 1 1/4 oz 2 3/4", its no big deal to me.

I just picked up a Nickle SDASS (20 inch, 7-8 shot mag) a few weeks ago and I have been loving it. I bought both stocks so I could choose after trying them both, but so far I prefer the pro-forces grip. I have some shorter fingers, so the stock grip makes for a bit more of a stretch to the trigger.

The only issue I have had is with 3 inch magnums. I find due to the recoil, I have to really lean into it with my forward arm and press the slide forward or else it wants to cycle right after I fire. Most 3" slugs result in the action opening halfway on recoil. I tried just "going with it" and finishing that cycle for the next shot, and boy does it make for fast cycling. Just a little annoying. I wonder if the forward assist spring would help?

Maybe I'm just a pussy, and have no left arm strength. ;)
 
It is a pump-action shotgun with an Italian brand name. That's it. It's like buying a Sony laptop. They're the last ones to mark down their brand. Buy a Remi or a Mossy.
 
Ya I agree that there is nothing wrong with a remington or a mossberg, I have owned and shot both extensively and flawlessly, but come on lets be serious. These are miles above the rest in my opinion. The tollerances are unbelievable, the fit from gun to shooter is awesome, and it even comes in a cool case!:D
 
I handled all three, and the action of the Fabarm blows the other two away. Of course the price does too... :(

If you want a cheap, solid, shotgun buy a Remmy or a Moss, if you want a smooth and tight unit that will make your buddies drool, buy a Fab.
 
Thanks for the feedback...I only run Fabarm shotguns (Martial and Axis). They are miles above the rest as mentioned.

To each their own..

Maybe you have a source of 14" barrelled Remingtons and Mossbergs that we don't know about? Also, exactly what is the price for a Remington 14" barrelled gun with a chrome lined barrel, interchangeable choke tubes, receiver rail and ghost rings? I am willing to bet it is not far off the price of a Fabarm.
