well after all the inquiries and shopping around,and of course your advices, I just ordered my SUPER NOVA WITH STEADY GRIP yesterday at Le baron. I am not trying to stir the pot here, but was also considering the FABARM Proforces. just concern that Fabarm doesnt have a warranty or a distributor in the states and even Brownells doesnt carry the parts. I think there is a distributor in the west, but would prefer if its available in both side of the border. hope did the right decision.
