New from Fabarm and designed specifically for bird hunting is the L4S Grey Hunter semi-automatic. The Grey Hunter is a cosmic looking firearm—blending the classic look of satin, hand oiled finish on Turkish walnut with a modern look of a silver matted receiver that has a splash of color! 

We first noticed the detail that went into this shotgun when assembling the firearm. The innovative design allows for the fore-end to be removed without fully disassembling the gun. What we found to be impressive was that the barrel was fastened to the receiver with a primary screw-on “bolt” that relieved any stress from the wood fore-end, virtually eliminating any chance of damage. 

Based on Fabarm’s Pulse Piston gas operating system, shooters will have the ability to shoot both 2 ¾” and 3” loads while also feeling a significant reduction in recoil. The L4S weighs in at just over six pounds, due in part to the lightweight aluminum alloy receiver. 

Our shooters were the first in the country to put the L4S Grey Hunter to the test and all were extremely impressed. The L4S Grey Hunter was the top pick of the lineup at the end of the day. Dave Brown found the Grey Hunter functioned flawlessly and was very easy to get on target with.
