hello ds444,
I bought a fausti triditions(12ga.) o/u last spring (april)used it was their field hunter model. had a little problem with it. I can tell you and the world that they stand 100% behind their product. I bought it to hunt with , but a good friend took me to a trap range & I was hooked on trap shooting. Well being new to the game I used it for shooting trap. I got exactly 104 shots out of it. just getting ready to shoot105 and one of the guys hollerd doc don't shoot. I said why , he said do you have exstended choke in your gun? I looked at my gun and all of the sudden I had 1 extended choke and a small hole in end of barell.scared the H*** out of me. Sent it to fausti. in 2 wks. I had a new one. since then I have got about 4'500 rounds through it. NO PROBLEM with it. I will advise to check chokes before you use it(EVERY TIME YOU USE IT) I do now. later DOC
