The market for pump action weapons is represented by a wide range of different shooting models. Judging by consumer reviews, Fabarm rifles are very popular. Shooting products from the Italian manufacturer are appreciated by hunters around the world.
Manufacturer
Fabarm rifles are manufactured by Fabbrica Bresciana Armi. The weapons factory is located in the city of Travallato in Italy. After World War II, this manufacturer was forbidden to produce firearms. To stay afloat among competitors, the company was forced to reorient itself to smooth-bore models. As a result, a line of Fabarm pump-action shotguns was presented to hunters.
Introducing Small Products
Among hunters, security officers and some law enforcement agencies, the Fabarm Sdass pump-action model is very popular. As an effective means of self-defense, this gun is also used by ordinary citizens. The abbreviation Fabarm Sdass means that the product is a special weapon designed for protection and safety. This model belongs to the class of pump action shotguns, which are made of high-quality materials, taking into account modern technologies. The maximum reliability and durability of the Fabarm rifles is due to the complete rejection of the use of wood. For all elements that were previously made of wood, the Italian manufacturer now uses high-strength plastic. The receiver is made of aluminum alloy Ergall 55, which, due to its high characteristics, is used in aircraft construction.
For trunks, chrome vanadium steel is used. In the manufacturing process, the craftsmen use the unique Tri Bore technology: they equip the barrel with an external thread, with the help of which replaceable muzzle constrictions and a muzzle brake compensator can be installed on the gun . The basic version of the pump action shotgun is equipped with a 51 cm barrel. There are also modifications with 36 and 46 cm barrels.
Ammunition
The pump-action shotgun is equipped with an underbarrel magazine with a capacity of seven 12/76 Magnum ammunition. With the help of the store, a movable spring-loaded forend and a bolt are connected. During its movement, the fore-end acts on the bolt, as a result of which the barrel channel is unlocked and the “Fabarm” gun is reloaded.
Owner reviews indicate that this model can be equipped with an elongated store if desired. This will be interesting for those for whom the standard seven charges will not be enough. The new store does not have to be from an Italian manufacturer.
Device
The shutter of the gun in the form of a swinging larva enters the groove of the barrel shank. In order to bring the mechanics of the weapon into action, the arrow must be connected to each other fore-end and bolt frame. The place to move the forend is the underbarrel store. Some owners noted the fact that during the operation of the gun, the coating on its bolt is quickly erased. But violation of the aesthetic type of weapons does not affect the quality of shooting. The disconnector in the gun is a special button, which is located in front of the trigger guard. Using it, the shutter is controlled, the chamber is discharged and one ammunition is changed by another.
About Sights
The Fabarm Sdass shotguns are equipped with a front sight and a full diopter. For the front sight, a special protective half-ring and light-accumulating fiber were developed, due to which it was possible to aim in the dark. Light-accumulating elements are also used in the arrangement of the pillar, which can be adjusted in two directions.
