Mechanics: The action functions correctly. The single non-selective trigger fires on the lower chamber first each time, the recoil of the fired round cocks the next hammer, the action has solid fit and finish, with no play in any of the barrel set fits. We have not fired this shotgun. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.

All items are in Excellent condition with minimal use.
Our Assessment: From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perazzi “Perazzi shotguns feature relatively high prices, one reason is that the buyer undergoes “The Perazzi Experience,” when purchasing a shotgun from the factory near Brescia, Italy. A “test gun” is used to determine the correct fit and measurements for the shotgun to be made for the customer. Custom options include the gauge of the shotgun, the blank and grade of wood for the stock and forearm, barrel length and diameter, rib height and width, the trigger group, and receiver engraving. In the Perazzi factory there is a public viewing area of shotgun production. Customers also have the option of visiting a nearby Perazzi family restaurant for homemade pasta and wine while their shotgun is being made.[3]” Leave it to the Italians to nail food and shooting! We love these shotguns, their fit and finish is beyond what normal factory offerings bring to the table. This complete 3-barrel set and MX2000 action is going to make someone very happy, all of the included tools and spare items will give a diverse role to this setup and you can try to shoot Sporting Clays, Skeet and Trap all in one day with the robust hard case. This one simply has to be seen and held to be appreciated.
