Fabarm was the first, I think, to make a 3.5" O/U. Red Lion maybe? Anyhow, people were buying the 24" bbl ones and having the bbls worked for the patterning to be better. Cut the cones to .845, port and such.
They made a waterfowl version that was hard as hell to find. I also think they had their own choke thread pattern but I may be wrong.

Yep I loved mine…poi was a little off where I had to use a rifled sight to split the difference. Light and easy to point/shoot. I had the top barrel for improved cyllinder with longbeards for 30 and in and the bottom I had a full choke with tss…killed a lot of birds with it

What chokes were you using ? Base for the red dot ?


"Cull" is just another four letter word...

Just the stock chokes. I didn’t use a red dot but used some gobble dot rifle sights I think. The red dot would probably have helped a lot though.

I got one a few weeks back and have carried it every hunt since. As with most O/U my first concern was with POA/POI and to my surprise shooting both factory full chokes at 40 yards, Apex GT-20 there was very little difference and patterned great. The raised ribbed barrel makes it very easy to get on target quickly even with the 22inch barrels.

American Arms which became Tristar? Had one of the first 3.5” 12ga O/Us. Browning Citoris came in 3.5” right about that time, too…..mid 90s. The American Arms and other import models in 3.5 often had issues with recoil- doubling with heavy turkey and buckshot loads. Not fun for shooters. I took a turkey hunter I was calling for to the ER for a broken nose and middle finger one morning.

No sir. That’s a spray paint job I did on it.

See a lot of info on the sub gauges. Haven’t seen any reports on the 12? I’m sure it’s a beast.

I was in Mark's a few months ago and they had the 20's and .410's stacked in the floor like you used to see the old SKS's. I grabbed a 20.
