BREDA 12G SEMI-AUTOMATIC SHOTGUN.
12G Semi-Automatic 2+1 Shotgun from Breda in Italy and STILL amongst the best guns to ever come out of the country. 24 ½” (623mm) 2 ¾” (70mm) Multi Choke None Ribbed Barrel the gun will come with a single choke of your choice. (Provided I have that particular restriction). I CAN supply a brand new complete set or single at additional cost from a local manufacturer. A single Ramp mounted front sight bead. I DO generally carry spare parts, including barrels so please ask if this pattern does not suit.
The Stock on this has also been cut down to a pull of 12 ¾” so ideal for anyone of a smaller frame. Be that man, woman or youngster. A Strong Straight Grain through the grip with Good Colour Contrast and Chequering still clean / reasonably crisp. Overall the gun finishes 43 ½” (1105mm) long and tips scales at 7 Lbs 7 oz (3.371 Kg).
At one time these WERE THE gun to have for any self-respecting pest / pigeon controller or wild fowl enthusiast.
SUPERBLY well designed and made. Generally flawless operation in just about ANY situation. Drop it into thick mud, wash it out and basically go straight back to shooting. Ambidextrous operation as the cross action safety can be swapped over to suit either hand. Take one of these apart and compare against the majority available today and you WILL see the difference. Also take a look at the cost new now they are available once more on UK soil.

THE STEEL SHOT DEBACLE?
FIRST THING: Given lead is SO dangerous, can we ask about getting every lead water main replaced? After all, ANYONE with one of those still supplying water has zero choice. LETS PUT THAT QUESTION TO HEALTH AND SAFETY EXECUTIVE AS WELL AS THE GOVERNMENT.
That is every child’s grazed knee washed out with lead infested water (direct into their blood stream. Every glass of juice. Every cup of tea or coffee, Vegetables washed and cooked in the stuff. ALL that DELICIOUS Gravy. Cloths washed in it. Then we bath in the sodding lead infested stuff!
HOW DO THEY DEFEND THIS FACT?
THEN THERE ARE more and more Non-Toxic Shot alternatives being produced. WITH near matching performances to traditional lead and close to, if not matching pressures. Take a look at Horton Gunmakers for their own entry into this debacle of modern-day shooting. IF it’s so lethally deadly to shooters and game eaters, how is it every old lead water main supply pipe is not getting ripped out and replaced? To my mind it’s a DISGRACE that the shooting industry did not simply ask that one simple question. NO, they saw an excuse to charge a fortune and that mainly to the detriment of the quarry. Just my opinion …..for what its worth?
Anyway, take a look for yourself:
NOW, to TRY and help speed up availability I WILL also suggest that YOU pass on details to everyone you know who shoots. Then ALL of us start to ask whoever we buy from why they are not DEMANDING cartridges made in this material? Basically VOTE with your WALLET.
YES, it will take a little time for everything to filter through but patience IS a virtue. It also allows everyone who wants to keep hold of their ‘old favourite’ for the rest of their lives. Even pass it on to the next generation and hopefully beyond!
On that note I AM looking into the possibility of stocking some direct from Steve at Hortons. RING for an update and keep checking the web site.
