CBC Single shot 20 gauge. Imported by FIE: Good purchase?
I came across a CBC Shotgun, which is made in Brazil, imported by FIE in Miami. I was reading around and apparently, quite a few people have one under a few different names. It seems like it is decent quality, and people trust them. I can get a fully working model in like-new to lightly used condition for under $100... Worth it? I was going to go for a H&R Pardner single shot in 12 or 20, but of course, if I were to go 20, this would be a much better value... What do you guys think? Thanks!

If the objective is to get a cheap shotgun, which I assume is the case with a single shot other than a trap gun, Why not look for a used one and save even more. Al lot of people find the brutal recoil scratches their itch for a shotgun a lot quicker than they ever dreamed.

Use 20 gauge upland game loads for lighter recoil. I carry a Beretta companion single, a real low end number, but it makes a great companion.
I have a Braztech single in .223. Fit and finish no, but loaded with reduce charge fmj pelt rounds, for very close delivery, it serves. |

I would not spend over $80 on one of those and that would have to be NIB. If it's had any use I'd say $65 or less. Nothing wrong with them just nothing special about them either.

Good info/advice from all of you! JackPine, I think I wont be purchasing it... The thing is, you gotta figure at $90, you're going to have about $20 shipping + a $20 transfer fee. That's $130! For that money, I'm getting screwed! I would rather get a brand new H&R Pardner Single shot for that money or less. Probably more high quality and of course, factory new. Thanks for the info guys!

They're pretty clunky and unbalanced. They function well tho.
