Fabarms shotguns...

Kinda vague on the subject line, I know, but that is basically my question. I have started looking at their semi auto shotguns, but I'm having a little trouble finding info on them outside of the marketing info they provide. I'm looking for things like range reports & gun tests...
Suggestions

Kermit, I'm still spooked from the time our buddy's FP6 was rendered inoperable because of the mag extension he put on...I bet it was pilot error (new shotgun) but still it scares me!!

The idea of a gas operated, semi-auto Tactical ( ) shotgun just has a ring to it. Now, if I could find one on sale I already have 2 shotguns I don't shoot a 3rd would just be silly Maybe I should sell one of them....decisions, decisions

Fabarm shotguns

I had a Fabarm sporting clays over/under for a brief period of time. It was a decent gun, and came with extras that don't come standard with a Browning or Beretta, such as a fitted luggage case and an adjustable comb. My only gripe, actually 2 of them, was the gun's metal to metal fit wasn't nearly as good as a Browning's, and the carbon fiber finish it had wore off around the muzzles a little more every time I fired it.

thanks for the link. I just got the extention and put it on, it works great. Now a tuff question. I need to order/find a factory carbon fiber barrel shroud for it. I bought a factory demmo with out one for short money and I would like to put one on.
