FedArm SS12

[lowercase]

I bought this little 12 gauge from GB "just because". It is an "SS12" by Fedarms and imported from Turkey. The seller had a ton of these things, and they were going for not much money. I threw out a bid on one and got it.

This gun is LIGHT. It supposedly weighs just over 5 pounds, but feels lighter. It has a 20 inch barrel, and is cylinder bore and has a gold bead front sight.

Took it to the range and it did just fine. I ran some Aquila 00 buckshot mini shells and some Rio 2 3/4 inch 00 Buckshot through it. It was tame with the Aquila mini shells, and "lively" with the 2 3/4 stuff.

I liked it so much that I went back on GB and got another one in 20 gauge. My winning bid was 52 bucks. Shipping and transfer fees will actually cost more than the gun!

That would make a nice turkey gun if it is full choke.

Nifty little single shot shotguns! Wouldn't mind a nice lightweight 20 gauge like that for upland game.

For that money I would be bidding, but I wouldn’t really want to win it in 12ga. I see what is likely an alloy reciever, polymer stocks, and singleshot. That all spells untra light weight, and in 12 ga that means painful. In 20 I would be grinning, but in 410 I would be grinning like a coon in a trash can.
