Fausti BC 500 Side-by-Side Shotgun applies the latest state-of-art mechanical and technical innovation while adhering to the tradition of centuries-old Italian gun manufacturing. The classic Anson & Deeley-type mechanism has a storied history dating back to 1875 popularized over the years for balanced handling and fast, confident shooting. Unlike mass-produced models, Fausti's modernized version uses leaf springs to operate the hammers. Engineering simplicity concentrates weight around the hinge pin for near-effortless shouldering and target swinging. Every Italian-made detail point to the highest of quality standards with all parts worked from a solid ingot of premium steel. Crafted from select Turkish walnut woods with an oil finish, the stock features fine laser checkering with double grip pattern. Fine ornamental scroll highlighted by a golden pheasant on top. Other details of the Fausti BC 500 side by side include a short trigger guard, round pistol grip, single trigger, automatic ejectors, and low, slender box-lock profile action body with color case finish. All Fausti shotguns undergo the 1320-bars high-pressure test at the National Italian Proof House. Includes set of 5 chokes.
