HA1333 Winchester Super X3 Compact Walnut Field, (Compact Adult/Youth) Gas-Semi-Auto, 20 Ga., 2 3/4" & 3", 26" MC Bbl., NIB, $995
For a full page of photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.
Winchester Says: Bold looks and innovative features make the Winchester Super X3 Field Compact a beautiful sight to behold and a force to reckon with. Weighing in at a scant 6 3/4 pounds — thanks to a weight-saving magazine tube and recoil spring system, slim barrel with a machined rib, and an alloy receiver, — the 3" chambered Super X3 Field has all the features you want in a field gun, or a sporting gun for that matter. The self-adjusting Active Valve gas system reduces recoil significantly more than recoil-operated systems and a proprietary next generation Pachmayr® Decelerator® recoil pad is fitted to further increase shooting comfort. Trim grip and forearm dimensions add to the lightweight, fast handling feeling. The .742" (.630" in 20 Ga.) Back-Bored Technology and Invector-Plus™ choke tube system work together to provide perfect patterns. A unique gunmetal grey Perma-Cote UT (Ultra Tough) surface finish is applied to external surfaces for extreme corrosion protection, and the bolt is plated with electroless nickel for added corrosion resistance. This is one shotgun you must experience to believe. Three choke tubes and two stock spacers for length of pull adjustments are included.
Hero's Arms Says: This is an all around light twenty with reduced recoil that is intended for the shorter shooter.. The gun comes with one spacer installed and a 13 1/4" Length of Pull, but 2 more can be installed to bring it to 13 3/4", or the installed one can be removed bringing it to 13", so the gun can grow with the shooter. The cast & drop shims can be installed between the stock and the receiver to suit individual preferences for cast on or cast off and drop. It would be handy for most kinds of hunting, and for skeet or sporting clays. It uses Invector Plus chokes which are widely available, and comes with tubes in Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. It is made by FN in Belgium.

HA1321 Smith & Wesson Silver
Elite Round-Body Game-Target-Shotgun, O/U, 12 Ga., 2 3/4" &3", 30"MC Bbls.,
New-In-Box, $1,895 SALE
$1,195
For a full page of photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.
The Smith & Wesson Silver Elite Over/Under is an all-around shogun suitable for hunting or clay target shooting. It is also ambidextrous in that it has neutral cast, and no left or right palm swells. It chambers both 2 3/4" shells for skeet, sporting clays or trap, and 3" shell for hunting. It has 30" non-ported barrels so your hunting companions and dogs won't complain of the noise. It has a 14 3/4" Length of Pull, from its single non-selective trigger (the bottom barrel always shoots first) to its solid rubber recoil pad. It has a bone charcoal case hardened receiver, and a finely jeweled Monobloc. It comes with five choke tubes in Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder and Cylinder constrictions, and a friction choke tool (sort of a Morse style Taper). It has hand-cut 24 LPI checkering. It has a front white bead and brass mid-bead sights. It was made by Smith & Wesson in their own factory in Turkey, but is guaranteed and serviced by Smith & Wesson in the U.S.A.. The guarantee is unique, when you send in the warranty registration card you designate an heir, so the gun is under warranty for your life, plus your heirs lifetime. This wouldn't mean much from some companies, but S&W has been around for a long time. It apparently did not sell well at the list price of $2,380, and Hero's Arms would have been selling it at $1,895, but I have been able to get a few at close-out pricing and can sell it for half of list price, $1,195 (While they last the un-photographed ones will have free shipping).

HA1317 Browning Citori 725 Field, O/U, 12 Ga., 2 3/4" & 3",. 28"MC (Invector DS) Bbls., New-In-Box, $2,095
For a full page of photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.
Hero's Arms Says: The newest incarnation of the Browning Citori, the 725, has a number of changes. The receiver is almost .2" lower than the 625 (the Cynergy is about .35" lower than the 625) while still retaining the hinge pin design. It comes with a mechanical trigger rather than the inertial trigger in previous Citori shotguns, which has a lighter pull. One of the biggest innovations is the Invector (DS) Double Seal choke tubes, an entirely new design, which are longer than Invector Plus tubes, and have threads at the front and a brass band at the back to seal to the barrel. The recoil pad, called Inflex II, is new technology which causes the stock to drop away from your face when the gun recoils. It has a long forcing cone for better patterns and reduced recoil through the over-bored barrels. To see Browning's description of all of these features click here.
Browning Says: 725 FIELD: · RECEIVER Steel • Low-profile • Silver nitride finish • Accented, high-relief engraving · BARREL Ventilated top rib · ACTION Mechanical trigger system • Hammer ejectors • Top-tang barrel selector/safety · STOCK Gloss oil finish Grade II/III walnut with close radius pistol grip · FEATURES Vector Pro™ lengthened forcing cones • Three Invector-DS™ choke tubes • Ivory front and mid-bead sights.

HA1281 Benelli Montefeltro Left Handed Inertial-Semi-Auto, 12 Ga., 2 3/4" & 3", 28"MC Bbl., New-In-Case, $1.095
For a full page of photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.
Benelli Says: Light, slender, and quick-pointing never described a semi-auto better than the Benelli Montefeltro 12-gauge shotgun. The Inertia Driven® system in these Benelli shotguns requires no springs or gas cylinder under the forend. That allows the Montefeltro’s forend to be slim and graceful, while the lightweight, anodized aluminum receiver keeps weight to a minimum. The 12-gauge is chambered for 3" magnum loads, making the Montefeltro equally at home in New England woodcock cover and a Louisiana duck blind. This is one gun that looks as good as it shoots. Stocked with beautifully finished satin walnut, the Montefeltro is the gun for the wingshooting purist who wants the feel of a classic game gun with the added advantage of a semi-auto. The Montefeltro uses the Benelli Crio chokes that sit flush with the muzzle, available in F, IM, M, IC, and C.
Hero's Arms Says: This Left Handed Montefeltro ejects to the left and the safety is pushed off from the left. The stock can be adjusted to have Cast On for a left handed shooter by installing the included shims.

HA1256 Beretta 3901 Target Reduced Length Semi-Auto Adjustable Comb, (Compact Adult/Youth) 12 Ga., 2 3/4" & 3", 28"MC Bbl., NIB, $995
For a full page of photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.
Beretta Says: The 3901 Target RL was designed from the ground up as the ideal first shotgun for youth. Developed in cooperation with the NRA Youth Program, Scholastic Clay Target Program, Boy Scouts of America and other organizations, this is a shotgun that grows with the young shooter. The semiautomatic allows the beginner to shoot a 12 gauge with the benefit of a gas operating system that reduces the felt recoil. It also features an adjustable length of pull from 12 to 13 inches and a specially designed shorter stock that’s adjustable for cast on/off. The stock comes equipped with Beretta’s Memory System II to adjust the parallel comb. Because of these attributes, the 3901 Target RL also makes the perfect shotgun for new shooters and smaller stature sportsmen, and women. The 3901 Target RL’s adjustable comb helps give you the competitive edge by allowing you to regulate your personal sight picture. The stock is also adjustable for cast on/off and comes equipped with Beretta’s patented Memory System II feature that lets you remove and replace the comb without losing your individual settings.
Hero's Arms Says: We have added choke tubes to the package to make it suitable for more sports. It now has Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder and Skeet tubes.

HA1240 Ruger Red Label Sporting, O/U, 12 Ga., 2 3/4" & 3", 30"MC Bbls. (Used 99%) $1,395
For a full page of photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.
This Ruger Red Label Sporting was sold new by Hero's Arms a few months ago. The owner fired 75 shots, all through the top barrel, and decided he wanted a dedicated trap gun, so traded it in for a BT99. It has a few small abrasions on the right side top barrel near the muzzle which reduces it to 99% condition. It comes with 5 choke tubes in Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder and two Skeet constrictions. The 30" Barrels are overbored to .745" for a better pattern and reduced recoil. It has nicely figured wood, and is basically a new gun. Because the barrels are not ported it could easily be used for hunting, as well as sporting clays, skeet or trap.

Because of the Inflex recoil pad and spacer the Length of Pull can be varied by 1/4" - with short or long Inflex pads (available from Browning and on-line) the LOP can be varied from 13 3/4" to 15" or more making it suitable for shorter or taller shooters.

HA1174 Tristar Hunter EX O/U, 28 Ga., 2 3/4", 28"MC Bbls., NIB, $595
For a full page of photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.
Tristar imports this gun from Turkey, and guarantees it for five years. It is very hard to find 28 Gauge guns with screw in chokes under $1500, so this is a real bargain. It comes with five Beretta style chokes in Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder and Skeet constrictions. It has an extractor - lifter- rather than ejectors, weighs 5 pounds, 3 ounces and has a 14 5/8" Length Of Pull. It has a vent rubber butt pad, a jeweled Monobloc, and floral engraving on the receiver. It has a non-automatic safety, chrome lined bores, and a single selective mechanical trigger. The trigger pull is heavy at 8 lbs 13 ounces, but this will probably loosen up after a few rounds. This is a lot of gun for the money, good for hunting and skeet. It comes with a Lifetime Replacement warranty from Davidson's. (Click here for details)

This is altogether an elegant gun for collection, hunting or skeet. These are hard to come by. The price on this one has been reduced by $200 as someone has opened and closed it several times, putting wear marks on the Monobloc.

HA1148 B. Rizzini (Sigarms) SA5 Sporting, O/U, 12 Ga., 2 3/4", 29 5/8"MC (Nom 30) Bbls. (Used 99%), $1,895
For a full page of photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.
This little used (99%) B. Rizzini, imported by Sigarms, is an all around sporting clays and skeet gun which could also be used for hunting or trap. With its nominal 30" (actually 29 5/8", or 750mm) barrels, 2 3/4" chamber, long forcing cones, chrome lined bores, and five Seminole Extended Chokes in Modified, Light Modified, Improved Cylinder, Skeet and Cylinder constrictions it is ready for anything on a skeet or sporting clays course. For trap handicap doubles you might want to order full or extra full chokes from Seminole. The only sign of use is a small scratch on the left side of the stock, shown in the photo. The barrels are not ported, so it could be used for hunting. It weighs 7 pounds, 15 ounces and has a 14 1/2" Length of Pull. It has a small 1.5mm Hex Socket behind the trigger which is used to adjust trigger play, and it comes with a wrench. In my opinion adjusting trigger play is one of those "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" situations. This is a high quality gun, and service is available from the current importer, Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Company (CSMC). General features of B. Rizzini shotguns are listed on CSMC's website.

HA1139 SKB 585 Target, O/U, 12 Ga., 2 3/4" & 3", 28"MC Bbls., (Used 99%), $1,295
For a full page of photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.
This lightly used SKB (SaKaBa) .12 Gauge O/U has 28" barrels and comes with Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder and 2 Skeet chokes, a 3" chamber for both 2 1/2" & 3" shells so it can be used both for clays and hunting, and a pistol grip stock. It uses Briley choke tubes so they are easily available. LOP is 14 3/8" over solid rubber recoil pad, and it weighs 8 pounds, 0.5 ounces. The receiver is cut from a forged steel ingot by computerized CNC machines to precise dimensions measured in thousandths of an inch. The final result is a low profile box lock receiver with a modified "Greener" style crossbolt locking mechanism inletted at the top of the receiver. The strength of this design ensures that it is capable of providing a lifetime of shooting. The monobloc is also cut from a forged steel ingot by computerized CNC machines to similar precise dimensions. The monobloc contains 2 locking lugs which engage the crossbolt, 2 integral shoulder lugs and a base lug which interlocks with the receiver as the action is closed. This combination forms one of the strongest actions on the market. The barrel tubes are seated and soldered into the monobloc to ensure the correct point of impact of both the top and bottom barrel. Each side of the monobloc is precisely cut for a single piece ejector and the pivot seat. The finished barrel group rotates at the pivot seat on two trunnions mounted through the sides of the receiver. After years of use, the SKB action can be easily re-tightened if need be, ensuring that it maintains a tight fit for many more years of service. An excellent gun for sporting clays, skeet, trap or hunting. There are no dings or scratches anywhere on the gun, the only sign that it is not brand new is some deterioration, or freckling in the silver finish mostly on the top tang and the top left of the receiver. It has an after-market fiber optic sight glued on the rib behind the original bead front sight - this could be removed if it was not wanted.

HA1118 Miida 2200 Skeet, O/U, 12 Ga., 2 3/4", 27" SK/SK (Used 97%), $995
For a full page of photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.
OK, so I didn't know what a Miida was either. Miida (Pronounced Mee-ee-dah) is a Winchester 101, but with better wood and engraving, smuggled out of the Ohlin-Kodensha plant where the 101 was made by Nikko to be assembled in a building next door and then sold in the US in 1972 and 1973 by Marubeni USA (all this according to the Blue Book entry on Nikko). This used Miida is in excellent condition except for a crack in the wood behind the receiver on the left side which doesn't cause any trouble and seems unlikely to grow. It has beautiful, almost full coverage, deeply incised, floral engravings on the receiver and top lever. The forearm release lever is the older, more expensive to make, two piece design similar to the Browning Superposed. It accepts 2 3/4" shells in its 27" barrels, fixed choked Skeet and Skeet. It has a 14" Length Of Pull over a plastic but plate, making it suitable for the shorter shooter, and of course, a recoil pad could be installed to increase the LOP. This would be an excellent gun for skeet, upland hunting or sporting clays, particularly since a gun of this quality and appearance is rarely found selling for under $1000.

HA1067 Browning BSS Side-by-Side, 20 Ga., 2 3/4" & 3", 26"MF Bbls., (Used 99+%), $1,995
For a full page of photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.
Made in 1976, the third year of production for 20 Gauge BSS shotguns, this gun may never have been fired. The bluing and wood are in excellent condition, with only the lightest handling marks in the gloss finish. It is fitted with a Single Non-Selective trigger (SNS) so that the more open right barrel with a Modified choke always fires first, followed by the left barrel with a Full choke. It has an automatic safety which goes on safe every time the gun is opened. It balances right at the hinge for fast handling. Its 26" barrels, which chamber both 2 3/4" & 3" shells, are ideal for upland hunting. It has a wide wrap-around beaver tail style forearm which protects the hand from hot barrels (unlike a splinter forearm which requires using gloves or a slip on hand-guard). All in all this is a beautifully kept, historic, and functional gun for hunting or collecting.

For a full page of photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.
This Battista Rizzini Round Body EM small action has been carefully and gently used (99.9%). It is light and slender, having 29 3/8" multi-choke barrels, and choke tubes in Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder and Cylinder constrictions. It has a 14 1/4" Length of Pull over a Kick-Eez recoil pad. The high-grade walnut stock has interesting figure. The hand engraved floral patterns, and gun dog, on the receiver make this into art on a steel canvas. The Round Body reduces weight, and provides a comfortable hand hold. Because these are imported by B. Rizzini USA there is a complete service facility on site to provide repairs or alterations. This is a beautiful gun for a collector, upland hunter, or sporting clays shooter, and it is being sold at a considerable discount to the list price..

For a full page of photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.
This Elite has a stock of highly figured AA oil finished Walnut, with a Prince of Wales Grip, 14 11/16" Length of pull over a TSA pad , and a receiver with profuse engraving and gold accents. It has a jeweled Monobloc and a filigreed top lever adding to its overall elegance. This Renaissance Elite 20 gauge weighs only 6 lbs 5.5 ounces, and has 28" (actually 27 9/16" or 700mm) barrels making it a wonderful gun for upland hunting and/or for skeet. It comes with 4 choke tubes in Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder. The light weight is made possible by machining a solid billet of a newly developed lightweight alloy for the receiver, and reinforcing it in critical areas with steel. An exceptionally beautiful gun, it comes with a 3 year warranty from BenelliUSA, the importer.
| Custom Length of Pull for Franchi Shotguns with TSA pads purchased from Hero's Arms. The standard length of pull for Franchi O/U shotguns with TSA Pads is 14 1/2" (Some Semi-Autos are 14 1/4") If you would like to have your gun come with a 14 3/4" or 15" LOP (14 1/2" or 14 3/4" for Semi-Autos with 14 1/4") Hero's Arms will install the appropriate pad for $30 (just the cost of the pad) and will include the original 14 1/2" pad in the box or case so the gun can be returned to original dimensions if desired.. |

HA947 Browning Maxus Mossy Oak Duck Blind Camo, Gas-Semi-Auto, 12 Ga., 2 3/4", 3", & 3 1/2", 28"MC Bbl., $1,295
For a full page of photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.
Browning Says: Description: Receiver - Strong, lightweight aluminum alloy. Barrel - Lightweight profile • Flat, ventilated rib. Action - Gas-operated autoloader • 3" and 3 1/2" chamber models • New Power Drive Gas System reduces recoil and cycles a wide range of loads. Stock - Composite stock with close radius pistol grip • Speed Lock Forearm • Textured gripping surfaces • Mossy Oak® Duck Blind® camo finish • Dura-Touch® Armor Coating. Features - Vector Pro™ lengthened forcing cone • Three Invector-Plus™ choke tubes • Inflex Technology recoil pad • Lightning Trigger System • Magazine Cut-Off • Turnkey Magazine Plug.
Hero's Arms Says: Gun Tests Magazine (December 2009) ranked the Maxus above their previous favorite the Benelli SBE II because it was easier to load, cycled everything from 2 3/4" 7/8 ounce shells to 3 1/2" 2 1/4 ounce loads, was easy to clean, and had several useful features. There is no end cap on the magazine, the forearm pulls off after a lever is lifted, the magazine limiter plug comes out with a screwdriver or a car key, the magazine cut-off allows for quick switching of loads without emptying the gun. It starts with a 14 1/8" Length of Pull and comes with two 1/4" spacers which would bring it to 14 5/8. Additional spacers can be ordered and installed using longer screws. It comes with a set of cast and drop spacers which an give it a 1/8" cast On or Off, and/or raise or lower the comb by 1/8". This particular gun was purchased from Davidson's, so in addition to Browning standing behind their guns it comes with a Lifetime Replacement warranty from Davidson's.

HA933 Browning Superposed (Belgium), O/U, 12 Ga. 2 3/4", 30"M/F Bbls, (Used 95%), $995
For a full page of photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.
When I first started in the Firearms business I intended to restore old shotguns, and this1963 Browning would have been a perfect candidate. Years of having people who watch "Antiques Road Show" tell me I should have never "touched it", and earnings of $0.25 an hour finally dissuaded me and now I sell them as they come. This gun is mechanically in good shape, the bluing is good, only slightly worn on sharp corners, and it could be used as is. Here is a list of the defects: it started with a Monte-Carlo stock, but the Monte-Carlo has been (I suspect professionally) shaved off and not refinished with the gloss finish (See the photo of the left stock for the refinish line); it has a replacement "White Line" recoil pad which is now rock-hard and should be replaced again; it is missing the white bead insert in the front sight, though the sight base is there; there are various handling marks in the wood, most of which could be steamed out after the finish has been removed. When you get through with this refinishing you will have an attractive Classic shotgun for field or trap.

For a full page of photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.
Remington Says: The Model 1100 Sporting 12 provides timeless good looks in a light-recoiling sporting clays gun. It features a polished blue receiver and 28-inch light target contoured vent rib barrel with twin bead target sights. The American walnut stock and fore-end display cut checkering with a high-gloss finish and a sporting clays style recoil pad. The Model 1100 Sporting 12 also offers a gold-plated trigger, as well as four extended choke tubes: Skeet, Improved Cylinder, Light Modified and Modified.
Hero's Arms Says: A gas operated semi-auto should provide the least felt recoil of the various systems, though there is a lot of subjectivity in this. This is an all around gun, equally useful for hunting, sporting clays or skeet. It comes with a two year warranty from Remington, and a Lifetime Replacement warranty from Davidson's.

HA905 Browning BPS Micro Pump Shotgun (Compact Adult/Youth Ambidextrous) 20 Ga. 3", 22" MC Bbl., NIB, $525
For a full page of photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.
This 20 Gauge Browning BPS Micro Shotgun is ideal for the smaller shooter, and for left or right handed shooters because it ejects shells from the bottom, and the safety is on the top of the receiver so it can be operated by either thumb. The receiver is made from forged and machined steel. The barrel is a compact 22" in length, with ventilated rib, and it has Invector Plus Choke Tubes in Full, Modified and Improved Cylinder Constrictions, others are widely available. It has a 3" chamber so can shoot either 2 3/4" or 3" shells. With the addition of a rifled choke tube it would make a handy slug gun for deer hunting. It has dual steel action bars. The stock & forearm have cut checkering and satin finish walnut. With its weight of 6 pounds 13.5 ounces, its 13 5/16" Length of pull, and shorter than average 3" LOTP (Length of Trigger Pull) from the bottom of the Pistol Grip, this is an all around gun for a compact adult or young person, suitable for hunting of all types as well as skeet and other clay target sports.

HA750 Benelli Vinci Inertia Semi-Auto ComforTech, 12 Ga. 2 3/4" & 3", 28"MC Bbl., ANIC, $1,195
For a full page of photographs and a detailed description click the photo above or click here.
I purchased this personally to try it out and was quite pleased, but I don't have any need for a 12 Gauge Semi-Auto so I'm selling it as Almost-New-In-Case. Its warranty has never been registered. It has had about 50 shots, two rounds of skeet, fired through it. There are scads of features but the ones I like are the ComforTech stock, the straight line recoil, the easy to clean Inertial action, and the modular design which will eventually allow for changing the stock and the magazine for different applications. It comes with five Benelli Crio Chokes in Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder and Cylinder constrictions. The stock can be fitted with different combs and butt pads, and it has drop and cast spacers which can be used to adjust these measurements. It takes a little practice to get it together and apart, and it is certainly unusual enough that you should, as I sometimes tell my wife, RTFMD (Read The Fine Manual, Dear).
