Came into possession of one of these recently, hadn't heard of it before I bought it. Thought you guys might find it interesting.

Barrel appears to be solid stainless steel, but the receiver has a chrome finish on it. Has a couple knicks in the finish.

Has rifle sights, and the rear sight can be folded up or down. Front sight can be drifted for windage.

I haven't shot it, but my buddy that got it for me did, seemed to kick pretty good, it's lighter than my 870

Almost looks like the whole thing has been chromed, looks nice, would sure be moisture resistant! I am80% sure I have a Winchester trap 12guage coming, tried a few pumps and you are right, they are light! Smoothe though!
 
Oh, man. That's more than a thousand guns ago. I don't remember the price on that one exactly. In the low 300's I think.
Incidentally, I still have it.

Haha, to each his own, I think they would be quite a bit more corrosion resistant than ceracote and all the other marine coats around!

Depends entirely on the alloy used - remember it's stain-less, not stain-free. Cerakote over top would provide you with a virtually impervious gun for boating or wetlands, or even the South Coast of BC in November.
 
Would be great for around our salt air, yes chrome and stainless still needs care but it is a help and they are a very light shotty, likely kick like my ex!
 
Well, just googling depending on it being a 1200 or 1300 they are going for between $300-$900 in the U.S. And one in Canada asking $600. Some have plastic furniture some wood! Nice shotgun though!
