When Valtro dissolved some years back the shotgun world was left with a void that many have tried to fill, ushering in several different takes on the idea of a box mag-fed pump shotgun. The original is always tough to beat, which is why Brixia Shotguns of Italy bought their former competitor and began to refine and produce their lines once more in Italy. Brixia's new PM5 shotguns feature a gorgeous, refined aluminum alloy receiver with sharp, expert machining and an anodized finish based on the specs used for the original French Naval contract Valtro PM5 shotguns. They've brought the gun back from the dead with improved sights and a familiar size, thanks to the 14" short barrel setup.

We're happy to see the Valtro design back on the Canadian market under new production as the pattern has always been one of the best options for the woodland hunter/hiker/surveyor/packer thanks to great handling characteristics, super quick loading and unloading for vehicle work, and a corrosion-resistant receiver. The absence of the PM5 for a few years there really reduced the options to our Canadian outdoorsmen and women and it's nice to know that these are coming in again with great quality to them, made in Italy again.

The new Brixia PM5 shotguns are in stock with 14" barrels and 7RND mags. Spare mags are already on the horizon but could not be shipped in with the initial shipment of shotguns, so we expect to see those shortly.

Cheers,
Daniel

My original PM5 has a thread protector covering a threaded barrel. Chokes are external.

As aiwa notes, the gun is threaded externally. Internal diameter is an improved cylinder bore, slug safe all day long.

Any idea on the price of the mags? Will they be as expensive as they were in the past?

From what we've heard, mags will be at a lower price from Brixia than from Valtro. So far we haven't seen an invoice to confirm the new pricing, though, since they're not yet here.

Hopefully this isn't too dumb of a question but will the old valtro pm5 mags fit this gun as the design is the same?

Your old magazines will fit and operate in this gun. Go nuts!

Great to see these back! Any chance for spare mags?

Spare mags had to follow in a separate shipment and should be here in time for the spring shooting season. We'll post when they land in Canada.
 
Biggest issue with the Valtro was the stock...and the lacking ability to get a short LOP. Any options on that front with this one? Looks like the same stick and LOP as old...

The original stock was a bit long for me. I'm only 5ft6. I took it to a gunsmith for adjustment. He took the rubber butt plate off, cut down the stock by about an inch and a bit. He reshaped the rubber but stock and the butt plate to the right size. I like mine.

Glad there is an option...I never looked at cutting mine back...but I did like the one I had otherwise.
 
Glad some one picked up that void...wish I bought one 5 years ago when I saw it on the shelf (20'' barrel). Are extra barrels coming in to swap out the 14''? or is their 20'' barrel version coming in?
 
Handled it in store last week... Smooth action and well balanced, probably better balance with shells in the mag. The stock sights don't seem great, and the picatinny rail almost completely obscures the front sight... Makes it easy to mount a RDS tho! :dancingbanana:

I'm certainly picking one up once spare mags are available.
 
Picked one of these up, with spare mags from another site sponsor. This shotgun is SWEEEEEEEEET!

Buttery smooth action, and mags are easy to rock in place. Can't wait until the next tactical shotgun shoot!
 
Will it feed more reliably then the old Valtro did? I've yet to see a box mag shotgun that was truly reliable.....if it will, i'm very interested

I've shot PE's in practice. Not a single misfire or jam at all, even firing at speed. Very light, smooth and easy handling shotgun. Super easy mag changes esp for those with AK fantasies! The only problems are keep your pump hand on the pump. The comp ports are super close due to the short 14" barrel. Don't burn your fingers! And if you are carrying a full mag load, beware! The mags are heavy!
With the proper kit and mag holders, I can see this shotgun dominating matches simply due to the speed of reloading! Esp with a full choke on.
