Saw an ad for their shotguns in a magazine and was wondering if anyone had used their shotguns? I wanted to know about their o/u (or was is a SxS?!). Couldn't find anything on their site. Appears to be brand new tough.

The novelty of the lever gun will wear off fast once material and design are taken into account. Fun for a couole rounds of skeet if you know how to rack a lever gun. If not frustration awaits. The balance is off causing it to be slower than it should on the swing and the action is only a touch smoother than a cheese grader. The levers are usually sharp enough to cause more than discomfort to the racking hand. Having experienced several of their lever guns id stay clear of their doubles line if you plan on more than just an occassional hunt

The novelty does look awesome though. Especially in a .410! But I'll pass on the Adlers.

User experiences vary.

It's like firing a pump without losing your support hand on grip, you can maintain aim easier

Bought second hand. Owner had some fte's but all it took was some polishing in the chamber and looking at the extractor.


Levers have been around as long as pumps.

It's worth the time you're willing to troubleshoot whatever may come up.

Nice thing is they're available in 12 20 and 410
 
I have a short barrel Adler lever 12 ga. It is basically a toy. Noisy for sure. Not sure what it would be good for, other than playing with. Mine is still pretty stiff, so not for the 90 lb weakling. Takes a good arm to work the lever, but it will loosen up with some use. But, seeing as I'm the one who paid for it, I will continue to have fun with it.
