Default Modern O/U Silma import

Thought I would post a more modern gun. I saw this one and thought what the h*ll. It's a 28ga Italian Silma. Not bad for an LSI import. Thought it would be good as a family gun, but I enjoy shooting it a little too much! And besides that wood is amazing for an entry level gun!

Cool 28 ga

Looks like the wood is dipped in wood film to me, not bad looking
though.

You know, I thought the same thing, almost like Beretta's xtra grain but it now has an adjustable comb on it and the streaking runs through the cut on both the stock and adjustable piece, so who knows!

I too thought, liquid stock grain, but if you cut the stock for the adj. comb you know for sure that it isn't. Gotta say I'm impressed even if the barrels have a position problem......

Not sure why the adjustable comb was applied, I’m not familiar with them. I’ll try and get the forend iron off and see what it looks like underneath.
