Was produced from '74-'83 with only approx 115,000 brought to the US. May wanna check in on value before you start running loads thru it. The A-5 just over ran it with popularity.

It was gas operated. Loaded from the left side. A very sweet shooting shotgun. I own one.

Default Sweet Gun

First gun I ever purchased and still shoot to this day. Have 3 barrels for it. Pretty easy to disassemble. Parts can be found on the net but may take some looking for a couple items if needed. Only item I have ever broken is the plug and it is a different design and is plastic. It is a working gun and was used for skeet competition by my kid. May have issue shooting 2 3/4 with 3" chambered barrel but hotter loads today (duck/goose) may eject w/o problem. I like the side loading and gets a lot of conversation. Have fun with it.

I own two of them. One has never had any steel through the barrel, the other I use for dove & teal. Fast as you can squeeze the trigger.
