Giovanelli” for the famous firm. The gun features a single selective trigger, and a tang mounted manual safety. The gun is fitted with a
beautifully figured and multi-point checkered Schnabel tip forend with engraved fittings as well as a pistol grip stock with a Kick-eez
recoil pad. Included with the gun is a second set of matching numbered 28 inch barrels being used as a carrier set for the included
.410 bore, 28 gauge, and 20 gauge full length insert tubes. Also included is an aluminum Americase that holds the entire set along with installation tools and twelve extra 12 gauge chokes,
