Recently purchased but couldn't find alot of information. I know it's a bit older. It's a 12ga and called the Black arrow edition. In very good condition. For my first trap/skeet gun is it a good purchase?
 
I don't have any experience with that model or fabarm in general but:
I just saw a video where the host was talking about fabarm seem to be impressed with the quality (Older models) Only issue you might have is with parts but hopefully that's not an issue anytime soon.
Get out there and shoot and enjoy it. Thats what it's made for.
 
Very Good. The gun is fit for your intended purpose, and Fabarm are a large, respected manufacturer in Italy. Historically, they have not had much presence in North America, so the older models are uncommon. It has a steel receiver as opposed to aluminum, meaning the gun is on the heavy side - good for repetitive clays shooting.
The position of the top lever indicates a low mileage gun, again good. You need to learn to lubricate critical areas of the gun, otherwise you will cause wear - which can be very expensive/difficult to repair. If you paid less than 1KCAD for the gun you probably got a good deal.

Thats good to hear. I did pay less then $1000. Lubrication should be done with oil or firearms grease? It was greased when I got it but I didn't have any grease so after I cleaned it i lubed everything with oil.
 
Oil is better than no lube, but it should be grease on the hinge as that bears a lot of the force.
The ejector/extractor should be oiled, as should the forearm latch mechanism.

Old lube should be cleaned off (with a cloth and a stiff brush) and lubricants reapplied.

I’m a believer in being comfortable enough to pull the butt stock off your gun—if only when it’s new (to you) just to see what condition the trigger mechanism is in.
For all you know, it could be filthy and caked in dried grease, powder residue, and microscopic metal filings.
