Have a friend who brought me one to get fixed the other day. It was filled with grease and the cold broke the tip off the firing pin(mostly operator error..he should have cleaned the gun). Made a new pin on my lathe and hardened it somewhat with heat and a water and oil bath. He was shooting it yesterday at geese in the field(ahh the cell phone is great...sometimes). New factory pin is on the way. Fabs is right.. All owned by the same parent company...but the Stoeger is an almost exact copy of the Benelli at half the cost. Think they are made in Turkey...but they make some pretty good guns over there. I heard from a factory rep bout a year ago that they have prayer rooms in the factories for the Muslim workers. Wow.. Unique idea, huh? Anyway..if ya want a 3" gun buy the Stoeger...if 3 1/2" buy a Mossberg 935. Pretty good buys if you want to save a good bit of money. If you want to be upscale like Fabs...well he has a SBE he might sell ya. But remember...he's an attorney...hehehehe sorry Fabs but I had to say it
Hey Lost...he's an ok guy. I've hunted with him!!
