I think it's unanimous. Very impressed with this shotgun... If you are buying a factory made shorty, might as well get the coolest one (without all the frills)... I've never seen better fit/finish on a pump shotgun (it's lint from the cloth I used to wipe it down, in the close-ups):

No no ... I'm not liking it, I'm LOVING it. As a matter of fact, when I compare the price of this shotgun to its quality, it makes no sense at all! It's a steal!

I haven't shot it yet but the build quality and smoothness of the pump is really amazing. Thank you for bringing these shotguns in.
 
Whoa! Internal choke?

Jeeze... I was holding off because I thought still external chokes. Damn! Ugh. Can't afford right now. So tempting!!!
 
TSE, I'm looking to purchase an Inner Modified Choke and Muzzle Brake for my STF/12 and the same parts (external) for my Martial Pro Forces. Are these parts in stock? I see both chokes but only the nickel brake is listed... Will the choke tool that I received with my STF/12 work with both the internal and external chokes?
 
Fabarm Inner HP chokes are what the Initial takes. The choke tool WILL work with both chokes. EDIT: Just realized you meant the choke tool for Pro forces - that's different - but the one that shipped with the initial works on all the Inner HP chokes.

I picked up a MOD choke from TSE when I bought the gun on Saturday....

Good afternoon,

The choke tool from the STF is for the Inner chokes, and will not work with the martial series outer chokes, as it grips the notches from the inside of the choke while the notches for the outer chokes are on the outside and use a different wrench.

I would have to double check to see what we have for the muzzle brakes for the Martials, but I only recall seeing the Nickel finished ones last time I was looking.

I thought the choke tool was double sided for some reason, just looked at it again and for sure you are correct. Definitely another choke wrench is needed.

A nickel brake would look funny on my black Pro Forces... I take it you have no (internal threaded) brake for the STF.
 
Good afternoon,

We have the Complete Door Breacher Kit, which is the correct choke and the breaching brake for the STF12. It is our Stock # 15959 and goes for $119.95. I'll check on this and see if it isn't showing up on the website.

Thanks
Colin

That's a little more than I thought it would be... what about the STF +1 tube extension? Is that in stock?

I take it the "Innerchoke" and "Inner HP" chokes are different? "In-Out" and "Inner Plus"??? Pretty confused now.

Will you be carrying the side shell holders?
Click to expand...

Good morning,

We have the 5 shot shell holders, but these can only be fitted to the longer barrel length models with folding stocks, as the sling mount needs to be removed to make room for the shell holder. The sling mount on the fixed stock models can't be removed due to the pinned-on stocks.

Thanks

Good morning,

We are waiting to receive the 4 shot shell holders, and are told that they will fit the bill. Unfortunately since I haven't been able to lay hands on one yet, I can't say with 100% certainty.

Thanks
 
Any chance you guys can remove the stock and get rid of the rear sling loop? It's useless to me as a lefty, but looks like the stock is blind pinned in place, so I can't remove it. Maybe a hacksaw blade and some patience?
