A Russian Sniper Rifle is Born - Part 1

Guns & Tactics Magazine

Las Vegas, NV --(Ammoland.com)- Soviet Sergeant Mikhail Surkov, the best and most prominent sniper of World War II, killed seven hundred and two German soldiers and officers – an entire Nazi battalion!

Lyudmila Pavlyuchenko, the most successful female sniper is credited with three hundred and nine kills.

Twenty of the best Soviet snipers took the lives of eight thousand five hundred Nazis – that’s three German regiments!

Hundreds of thousands of German troops were indeed killed by Soviet snipers.

However, a WWII sniper is not some lone wolf-shooter who crawls the battlefield under his own unguided direction, killing the enemy from an ambush.

Every sniper has to first master the craft of a soldier: be able to belly crawl hundreds of yards, run fast, learn camouflage and concealment techniques and, of course, shoot perfectly from any position. Snipers studied the operation and design of the rifle sights to determine and estimate the range to the target, wind velocity, the target’s speed and quickly perform necessary calculations. They worked hard on observation and concentration techniques, practiced firmly holding their hand and slowly squeezing the trigger. By the end of the training course Soviet snipers were required to perform such exercises as shooting at a distance of 1,000 meters against a machine gun target, killing a sentry at 800 meters, shooting a chest target at 500 meters, and with a telescope lens at 250 meters.

Moreover, snipers had to have the skills to fight as infantrymen – i.e. operate small arms, machine-guns, and anti-tank rifles. These soldiers studied the techniques of bayonet fighting, throwing grenades and Molotov cocktails.

Indeed, a sniper was one of the most fearsome warriors on the battlefield!

Therefore, 428,335 snipers graduated from the USSR’s Universal Military Training during World War II, on top of that, 9,534 elite snipers were trained by the Central Command. Some 1,885 female snipers, graduates of the female sniper school, fought in the Great Patriotic War. Just one female sniper company of the 3rd Attack Army killed 3,012 German soldiers and officers on its way from the town of Velikiye Luki to Berlin.

The main weapon of any sniper is the sniper rifle. In World War II it was the prominent Mosin rifle, fitted with a sniper sight, and the Simonov self-loading carbine with the same sight. They demanded much better quality of the barrel than was used with standard models. And snipers got the best. But in modern dynamic battles a bolt-action rifle no longer complied with the tactical requirements. So in 1963 the Dragunov semi-automatic rifle was adopted and remained the main sniper rifle of both Soviet and Russian Armies for nearly fifty years.

During that time the military strategy and tactics evolved: the Global War theory stepped down in favor of local conflicts and counter-terrorist operations, which required new combat techniques and new weapons. Big wartime battalions were replaced with Special Forces groups; ambushes, raid and infiltration tactics forced away conventional firing lines and trenches. Under those conditions the role of a sniper dramatically increased. Today, the sniper is not just an elite shooter, but being skilled in camouflage and concealment, self-control and equipped with perfect optics, he is also an ideal scout, a forward observer, and a spotter. And these elite soldiers needed an elite sniper rifle able to accurately hit any target at long-range distances. But Russian arsenals had no such rifles…

For a few years there was a long discussion in the press that the Russian small arms production was in deep crisis. They said Russia was hopelessly behind the West in the production of barrels and consequently could not produce any accurate sniper rifles. TV showed foreign rifles that could be adopted by the Russian Defense Ministry.

It was argued that there was no hope to catch up with the West, and it’s time to buy foreign small arms; and that Russia needed a true revolution in firing-arms production to reach a new level.

So when a year ago some media suggested that an elite-rifle production plant would soon be established in Moscow, it frankly seemed utopian at the time. That was impossible! There was no production, no machines and tools, no specialists and technologies. There are no miracles!

ORSIS - Firearms System Armed Sniper

And then at a shooting competition, renowned firearms expert and master shooter, Alexei Sorokin, was introduced to a new rifle marked with an unrecognized logo – ORSIS – Firearms System. And, after the competition it became clear that Russia now had it’s own precision rifle manufacturer.

Part 2… coming soon!

Merkel RX Helix Bolt Action Rifle

Merkel Arms

TRUSSVILLE, Ala. –(Ammoland.com)- Merkel has cast aside traditional workings of the bolt-action design that has reigned supreme for more than a century, and it has created a truly revolutionary design of bolt action that cycles in half the length of the conventional system.

This new Merkel rifle is the linear-bolt-action Merkel RX Helix, and it stands as the fastest operating centerfire bolt action in the world.

The modern repeating bolt-action rifle hasn’t changed much since the introduction of the Model 98 back in 1898 by famed gunmaker Paul Mauser. One afternoon in hunting camp, 112 years after Mauser created his bolt-action design, a pair of Merkel engineers decided it was time to create the next generation of bolt-action rifle. After a lengthy collaboration, the pair came up with a design for the rifle that would ultimately become the revolutionary RX Helix—a design that is nothing short of genius.

Amazingly, while the RX Helix is a straight-pull rifle, it retains the strength and safety of a rotary bolt head with seven locking lugs, as well as a fully enclosed, hard-anodized-aluminum action housing. The RX Helix’s linear motion of the bolt handle is transmitted to the bolt head at a ratio of one-to-two by way of a revolutionary transmission gearing system, providing for smooth and fast cycling without the rotational or tipping movement found on other straight-pull bolt-action rifles.

The Merkel linear-bolt-action system cycles exceptionally fast, which allows more time for aiming and accurate follow-up shots. Since the RX Helix employs a closed action, the bolt body doesn’t travel outside that action, therefore the shooter can maintain cheekweld with an eye on the target as he cycles the bolt. The RX Helix’s bolt handle is also exceptionally easy to manipulate for left-handed shooters, as they can maintain cheekweld while using the support hand to cycle the action.

The RX Helix features a manual cocking lever on the tang and a direct trigger system. The rifles patented linkage-driven-hammer system provides maximum ignition energy for flawless operation and added confidence when hunting dangerous game.

A true takedown rifle for exceptionally easy packing, the RX Helix can be dismantled almost effortlessly in a matter of seconds without tools for cleaning or transportation. The RX Helix has a universal action length that covers calibers from .222 Rem. to .300 Win. Mag., and changing calibers takes less than a minute with the appropriate barrel, bolt and magazine. Weaver rails are integrated into the action, and fast-acquisition iron sights with three-dot rear and one-dot front fiber-optic inserts are standard.

The RX Helix is available in a standard black configuration as well as four levels of design—Arabesque, Wild Boar, Spirit and Deluxe. An all-carbon-fiber version is also available either with or without a carbon-wrapped barrel. The RX Helix is available in a wide range of popular calibers including .222 Rem., .223 Rem., .243 Win., 6.5×55 SE, .270 Win., 7×64, .308 Win., .30-’06 Sprg., 8×57 IS, 9.3×62, 7mm Rem. Mag. and .300 Win. Mag. Barrel lengths vary according to caliber, and additional barrels, bolts and magazines are available for caliber changes. The MSRP for the standard black rifle with Grade 2 wood is $3,795.

Colt Agent Pistol With Crimson Trace Lasergrips

Colt Manufacturing Company

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. --(Ammoland.com)- Colt’s Manufacturing Company LLC has teamed up with Crimson Trace Corporation for the first ever Lasergrips, grip-integrated laser sight emblazoned with the Colt logo, which is now standard on the Colt New Agent pistol.

This compact, lightweight Colt 1911 series pistol with wrap-around, front activation laser sight, gives shooters increased accuracy and confidence in their shot placement.

“The Colt New Agent is an excellent choice for a concealable pistol for personal protection,” said Joyce Rubino, Colt’s Vice President of Marketing, “With the addition of Crimson Trace® laser sights, New Agent shooters can be increasingly confident that their shots will hit the mark.”

The upgraded New Agent model 1911 weighs less than 24 ounces and measures 6.75 inches in length. While possessing the power and protection of a full sized pistol, this compact model is a great option for concealed carry. Colt’s New Agent offers a seven-round magazine capacity in .45 ACP and an eight-round magazine capacity in 9 mm Parabellum.

The carbon steel slide is finished in matte blue and the lightweight alloy frame is black anodized. The New Agent’s trigger is skeletonized aluminum with a 3-inch bushingless barrel.

Highly visible at self-defense distances, the red laser comes factory-zeroed at 50 feet. The unit may be fine tuned by the user for their choice of ammunition, via integral windage and elevation adjustments. When the pistol is held with a natural firing grip, the instinctive, front-activation laser is initiated.

“We’re thrilled to offer this quality Colt pistol paired with Crimson Trace’s popular laser sight to give shooters a product combination that will increase shot confidence,” said Rubino.

SIG SAUER SIG551-A1 10in Short-Barreled Rifle

SIG SAUER

EXETER, NH --(Ammoland.com)- To meet the increasing interest in short-barreled rifles, SIG SAUER has introduced a line of factory-built SBRs for the consumer market.

“Interest in short-barreled rifles has never been greater,” said Jeff Creamer, SIG SAUER Director of Product Management. “What used to be primarily a military or law enforcement configuration is now being sought by the consumer market.”

As barrel and gas system length is reduced, reliable function can be compromised. Purchasing a factory-built SBR designed from the ground up and fine-tuned to be a short-barreled system greatly increases reliability and function.

SIG SAUER has previously offered complete short-barreled upper receivers for their SIG516 rifles, but this is the first time complete rifles are to be offered in SBR configurations.

Preferred by entry teams and CQB specialists for greater maneuverability in tight places, SBRs deliver significant ballistic performance over pistol-caliber weapons. With the growth of the suppressor market, SBRs have also seen increased interest from those who want a suppressed rifle without introducing additional length.

The Factory SBR Program will offer shortened variants of all SIG SAUER semi-automatic rifles, from the .22LR SIG522 to the 7.62 NATO SIG716. Each platform will have a SBR-tuned gas system to ensure maximum performance and reliability.

SBRs are available in Classic, Patrol and SWAT configurations, giving the user a wide variety of options. All NFA rules do apply; so please see your Class III firearms dealer for ordering information.

SIG SAUER TACOPs 1911 .357SIG Full-Size Pistol

SIG SAUER

EXETER, NH --(Ammoland.com)- SIG SAUER® introduces four 1911-platform pistols chambered in the company’s .357SIG cartridge, bringing enhanced ballistic performance to the all-American handgun.

Delivering .357 Magnum energy, the .357SIG provides a ballistically superior option to other defensive semi-auto pistol calibers. With muzzle velocities in the 1,500 fps range, the .357SIG is capable of producing hydrostatic shock damage.

“With a year of celebrating the legacy of the 1911 under our belt, we felt it was time to introduce modern-day ballistics to the venerable pistol,” said Jeff Creamer, SIG SAUER Director of Product Management. “The .357SIG turns the old war horse into a race-ready thoroughbred.”

Initially, four models of SIG SAUER 1911s will be offered in .357SIG, two 5″ full-size guns and two 4.2″ carry models. Following their .45 Auto counterparts, these 1911s feature match-grade barrels, hammers and sears. Skeletonized triggers and hammers reduce lock time and offer enhanced accuracy.

The only single-stack production 1911s chambered in .357SIG, these SIG SAUER pistols offer 9+1 capacity in the battlefield proven single-action only platform.

• The 1911 TACOPs is a full-sized traditional slide 1911, with an all-Nitron® finish; Ergo® XT grips, ambidextrous safety and low-profile night sights.
• The 1911 Reverse Two-Tone features a natural stainless frame and a Nitron-finished slide.
• The 1911 Fastback Nightmare Carry offers a 4.2″ barrel and a proprietary rounded grip and backstrap to reduce printing when carried. Natural stainless controls contrast the all-Nitron finish and custom black G-10 checkered Hogue grips.
• The 1911 Stainless Compact is an all-natural stainless traditional slide pistol with custom Hogue® Blackwood grips.

“In addition to being a superb self-defense round, the .357SIG is an outstanding hunting cartridge,” Creamer said. “This is why more than 80% of state game and wildlife agencies have selected the .357SIG. Out of a 5″ barrel, this pistol-cartridge combination makes for an exceptional hunting platform.”

Introduced in 1994, the .357SIG was developed by SIG SAUER in conjunction with Federal Ammunition. Intended to offer Magnum-sized power in a semiauto-sized cartridge, the .357SIG has become a favorite of the country’s top law enforcement agencies. Manufactured by several ammunition companies, the .357SIG offers superior terminal ballistics, muzzle energy and accuracy when compared to 9mm, .40S&W or .45 Auto offerings.

Mossberg MVP Series Predator Rifle 20inch Barrel

Mossberg

North Haven, CT --(Ammoland.com)- In mid 2011, O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc. announced a new line of dedicated varmint and predator bolt-action rifles, the MVP (Mossberg Varmint Predator) Series with an initial offering of two MVP Varmint rifles in 5.56mm NATO (.223 Rem), designed with long-range shooters and varmint hunters in mind.

With a breakthrough, innovative bolt design, this series of bolt-action rifles can accept and reliably feed from AR-15 style magazines.

Joining this family of centerfire rifles for 2012 is the MVP Series Predator with a 20-inch standard barrel or an 18 ½-inch medium bull barrel length and a scoped 18 ½-inch combo package; all chambered in 5.56mm NATO (.223 Rem), one of the most popular choices for predator hunters.

Based on the classic Mossberg 4×4™ bolt-action platform, what notably sets the MVP Series of rifles apart is its unique, patent-pending Drop Push Bolt™. This revolutionary bolt design allows use of most AR-15 style aftermarket magazines and the 10-round magazine that is included from the factory. Shot placement repeatability is critical to predator hunters and the user-adjustable Mossberg Lightning Bolt Action™ (LBA™) Trigger System is standard on the MVP Series rifles. Designed for a crisp creep-free trigger pull and shot-after-shot consistency, the LBA trigger pull is easily adjustable from 2 to 7 pounds with the simple twist of a standard screwdriver. The unique lightning bolt trigger blade blocks the sear from releasing the striker unless the blade is fully depressed, even at the lightest adjustment setting.

Distinguishing the MVP Series Predator from the initial varmint offerings are a grey laminate sporter-style stock and optional compact barrel lengths of 18 ½ inches or 20 inches. The 18 ½-inch rifle is also available in a convenient scoped combo package which includes a pre-mounted and bore-sighted 3-9x40mm variable riflescope. The 18 ½-inch and 20-inch standard rifle packages include 10-round detachable magazine and factory-installed, Weaver-style bases for ease of adding optics.

Chambered in 5.56mm NATO (.223 Rem), the MVP Predator rifles have a 1:9 twist rate for enhanced accuracy and optimal bullet performance from the button-rifled 18 ½-inch medium bull and 20-inch standard carbon steel barrels. A varmint-style muzzle crown protects the muzzle. A distinctive helically-fluted bolt and stylish barrel fluting reduce overall weight and enhance heat dissipation. All exposed metalwork wears a durable, non-reflective matte blue finish. The laminate sporter stock has a straight comb, traditional rounded forend and pistol grip with laser cut-checkering. Completing the package are convenient front and rear sling swivel studs.

Look to Mossberg, a leading innovator in firearms design and manufacturing, for the latest and most advanced developments in bolt-action rifles – the Mossberg Varmint Predator Series of rifles.

SIG SAUER 1911 FullSize Fastback Nightmare Pistol

SIG SAUER

EXETER, NH --(Ammoland.com)- With the introduction of the 1911 pistol in 2006, SIG SAUER has been building the finest, production 1911-platform pistols available.

By combining modern refinements in the classic American design, SIG SAUER has created 1911s that are as accurate as they are combat- reliable.

This innovation is continued with the new Fastback series of 1911s. SIG SAUER engineers have redesigned the frame and mainspring housing to create a proprietary rounded backstrap, giving the Fastback a distinctive look and advantage for concealed carry.

Available in a full-length 5” barreled version and a 4” carry model, the Fastback’s smooth grip lines won’t protrude against cover garments or push into the ribs when carried concealed.

The all-stainless-steel Fastback frame has been re-engineered from the ground up to reduce its grip signature, while still maintaining the same feel and control of the original 1911 platform.

Initial offerings include the 1911 Fastback Nightmare, using natural stainless controls, grip screws and barrel bushing against the deep black of the durable Nitron  finish. The look is finished off with Hogue double diamond black G-10 grips and low-profile SIGLITE  Night Sights.

Unchanged 1911 features include the match-grade sear, barrel and trigger components for which SIG SAUER 1911s are known. A skeletonized hammer and trigger with an overtravel adjustment screw are also left in natural stainless.

The Fastback Rosewood comes with a natural stainless slide, and a Nitron finished stainless steel frame, Hogue Rosewood double diamond grips and SIGLITE Night Sights.

Lipsey's Exclusive Ruger Single Ten 22 LR 4-5/8" Blue Revolver

Lipsey’s Firearms

Baton Rouge, Louisiana --(Ammoland.com)- The Ruger Single Ten is the first major change to Ruger’s single action rimfire line in some time.

Until now, Ruger has only offered the Single Ten in stainless steel. This Lipsey’s Exclusive is the first blued version.

We kept the same slim Gunfighter grips and Williams fiber optic sights. The lighter weight aluminum gripframe reduces the overall weight of the gun by 5 ounces.

We decided to go with a steel ejector rod housing since it looks nicer mated up to the barrel. If one wanted to drop another ounce or so off of the gun, they could replace it with an aluminum version. I also wanted to go with the 4-5/8″ barrel as we have done very well with this length.

If you like the idea of a 10 shot single action Ruger 22LR and prefer a blue gun, this is the one for you.

About:
Lipsey’s is the nation’s leading wholesale firearms distributor selling only to FFL holders. Lipsey’s has been a firearms distributor since 1953 and currently services FFL licensed firearms retailers in all 50 states. This exciting new exclusive 44 Special Flattop will complement Lipsey’s extensive line of special make-up and limited edition firearms.

Mossberg ATR Deer THUG Rifle

Mossberg

North Haven, CT --(Ammoland.com)- Introduced in 2004 and proudly built in the USA, the Mossberg ATR (All-Terrain Rifle) bolt-action has earned the reputation as a dependable, accurate and affordable centerfire rifle with premium features.

Now in conjunction with the release of Mossy Oak’s Deer THUGS TV series, Mossberg is pleased to announce a line of ATR Deer THUG rifles.

Available in three widely-popular calibers: .243 Win, .270 Win and .30-06 Sprg, each rifle features Mossy Oak Break-Up® Infinity™ camouflaged stocks and the “Deer THUGS” logo laser-engraved on the receiver. Honoring the THUGS (Today’s Hunters United for Good) moniker, Mossy Oak donates a portion of the proceeds from their Deer THUGS merchandise sales to the Wounded Warrior Project.

At the core of the ATR rifle is an all-steel machined receiver for a positive lock-up and smooth, solid bolt-operation; free-floating, button-rifled fluted barrel with protective recessed muzzle crown, constructed of durable carbon steel; weather-resistant, classic-styled synthetic stock fully camouflaged with Break-Up Infinity; and integral top-loading magazine with five-round total capacity for reliable feeding and ease of loading/unloading.

Standard on the ATR Deer THUG rifles, and all ATR models, is Mossberg’s patent-pending, user-adjustable LBA™ (Lightning Bolt Action™) Trigger System. The durable machined trigger assembly is constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum which undergoes a hard-coat anodization to minimize corrosion and wear. The LBA’s unique skeletonized lightning bolt trigger blade blocks the sear from releasing the striker until the blade is fully depressed. This sear engagement design provides for a creep-free trigger. Trigger pull can be adjusted from 2 to 7 pounds with a standard screwdriver.

Other value-added features include factory-installed, Weaver-style two-piece scope bases; stock and forend sling swivel studs; and sling.

Uberti Silverboy .22LR Rifle

Uberti Firearms

ACCOKEEK, MD --(Ammoland.com)- Uberti proudly announces the introduction of the Silverboy —the ultimate small-bore lever-action rifle.

An Italian designed, all-original lever-action firearm, based on the classic styling of the “Old West” lever-gun.

The Silverboy embodies the best features of the proven lever-gun design that goes back as far as the mid-1800s, when lever-guns were chambered for pistol calibers like the .44/40 and .45 Colt. Now Uberti adds the .22 LR caliber to that illustrious list.

Uberti’s new Silverboy lever action brings a brand new twist to an old, but “tried-and-true,” design. A unique cartridge-control mechanism inside the action allows controlled-round-feed so that the gun can be fired while held at any angle—the action will cycle reliably, even when upside down.

The Silverboy is a perfect first gun for youth shooters as well as a great firearm for teaching people of all ages how to handle and shoot a rifle. In the right hands the Silverboy’s excellent accuracy makes it a great gun for varmint and small game applications.

The Silverboy is also ideal for the cowboy-action shooter that wants to put in lots of shooting practice without breaking the bank buying ammunition. Pair the Silverboy with a couple of Uberti single-action Stallions in .22 LR and you’ve got a great training rig that will cost pennies on the dollar to shoot compared to a standard cowboy-action rig. This is a beautiful, great handling gun with a lot to offer both beginners and experienced marksmen.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Caliber: .22 Long Rifle
• Barrel Length: 19”
• Sights: Fixed Rear Sight; Windage-Adjustable Front Sight Metal
• Finish: Blued barrel; Chrome-finished Alum-Alloy Receiver
• Stock Material: A-Grade Walnut with Straight Grip

Stoeger Condor Over/Under Shotgun in 28-Gauge

Stoeger Firearms

ACCOKEEK, MD --(Ammoland.com)- The Condor 28-Gauge is the newest addition to Stoeger’s lineup of Condor Over/Under shotguns.

The 28-gauge cartridge, which was introduced back in 1903, is recognized and respected as one of shotgunning’s most efficient loads that’s effective on upland game and clay targets alike.

In recent years this sub-gauge has become increasingly popular with upland hunters who appreciate lightweight, low-recoil and fast handling characteristics in a shotgun. Stoeger has met those needs with all the right attributes in the new Condor 28-gauge.

The ultra-reliable box-lock, break-action is at the heart of the Condor 28-gauge, featuring an all-steel jeweled mono-block and extractors. A single trigger facilitates quick shooting and the tang-mounted automatic safety is conveniently located, making the Condor 28 safe and easy to operate.

A new more slender pistol grip and fore-end allows the Condor 28 to feel and point like a dream and provides a positive grip for total control. Weighing in at just 6 pounds, this is an over/under that’s quick and easy to handle.

Franchi’s Affinity Semiautomatic Shotgun

Franchi

ACCOKEEK, MD --(Ammoland.com)- A completely new lightweight shotgun launches a new era for Franchi’s innovative light, fast and reliable auto-loading shotguns.

The Affinity is a versatile Inertia Driven, semiautomatic shotgun that’s right at home in every type of shooting situation, whether it’s hunting birds or busting clay targets.

When you pick up the new slim and distinctive Affinity you will understand the meaning of “feels right.”

Available in both 12- and 20-gauge, the Affinity receiver is made of a lightweight, durable aluminum alloy that’s strengthened with steel inserts that ensure a solid steel-to-steel lock-up. As a result, the 12-gauge Affinity weighs 6.4 pounds and the 20-gauge is just 5.6 pounds. This lively auto-loader responds to the explosive flush of a quail covey as quickly as it swings with a flock of teal zipping past the decoys.

The 12-gauge Affinity handles 1⅛-ounce target loads up to the heaviest 3-inch Magnums and the

20-gauge Affinity digests ⅞–ounce loads (1275 FPS) up to 3-inch Magnums. Because they are Inertia Driven® the new Affinity shotguns have the feel of smaller gauge guns without compromising the proper punch expected of the actual gauge. This is possible because the recoil spring encircles the magazine tube located forward of the receiver, which keeps recoil in line with the shooter and helps reduce muzzle climb. Without relying on gas valves or heavy pistons positioned under the fore-end to cycle shells the Affinity offers a slim attractive fore-end profile.

The Affinity’s durable synthetic stock is impervious to all elements of weather, as well as gun solvents and lubricants. The stock is drop and cast adjustable with a shim-kit system. Recoil is tamed with a newly designed recoil pad that is unique in both form and function, allowing deep compression that spreads recoil energy over a wider area of the shooter’s shoulder. Whether it’s duck marshes, grouse woods or the pheasant plains and partridge prairies there’s a stock that’s perfectly suited for the job. Franchi has total confidence in their shotgun products and stands firmly behind every Affinity with the industry-leading 7-Year Warranty.

“Light, balanced, refined—however you define feel, the Affinity feels right,” said Stephen McKelvain, Benelli USA’s VP of Marketing & Communications. “This is a gun that embodies the right balance and weight. It also exhibits an intuitiveness that allows you to point it like it’s second nature.”

• Gauge: 12- & 20-Gauge

Franchi 48 AL ShotGun in a Deluxe Prince-of-Wales Version

Franchi

ACCOKEEK, MD --(Ammoland.com)- Greatness stands the test of time and spans the ages. One such greatness was the innovation of the long-recoil autoloader, which even by today’s standards, remains the choice of many discerning wingshooters, especially Franchi’s 48 AL.

The barrel of the 48 AL recoils upon firing in conjunction with the bolt. As pressure drops, the barrel unlocks from the bolt and returns forward under spring pressure.

The bolt follows, picking up a fresh shell on the way, allowing another shot to be fired instantly. Few shotguns embody the combination of lightning-fast handling qualities and superior “feel” as does Franchi’s AL 48 20-gauge autoloader.

Now comes the Franchi 48 AL Deluxe Prince-of-Wales version, which represents the ultimate refinement of long-recoil auto-loaders. This 48 AL model features a featherweight, yet durable, aluminum receiver that is complimented by the elegance of a Prince-of-Wales style pistol grip. Combining maximum style and tradition with minimum weight, you can fire up to five fast shots from a gun that weights just 5.6 pounds.

The Deluxe grade has figured select walnut polished metal surfaces and a gold trigger. The barrel is chrome-lined, proofed for steel shot and fitted with screw-in choke tubes in IC, M and F constrictions. Feel the tradition and pride that comes with shooting Franchi’s classic 48 AL Deluxe Prince-of-Wales version. Franchi has total confidence in their shotgun products and stands firmly behind every 48AL with the industry-leading 7-Year Warranty.

“The Franchi 48 AL Deluxe Prince-of-Wales version embodies that desirable combination of style and performance,” said Stephen McKelvain, Benelli USA VP Marketing & Communication. “Nothing compares to this slim sub-gauge for easy carry, even on the longest day afield.”
