Design engraving of english-style bouquets with game birds scenes on both action faces and bottom. Double parallel lumps breeching. Blitz-type battery, double triggers. Straight english-style stock and splinter forend in AA fancy walnut (extractor versions) or AAA fancy walnut (ejector versions) with hand-rubbed oil finish, checkered walnut buttplate. Shipped in a plastic gun case with Chapuis Armes logotype. Fixed chokes barrels.The solid Progress action offers double parallel barrel lumps and a massive, vault-like sliding bolt for unheard-of longevity of the breeching system. This allows for the placement of hammer-actuated ejectors to automatically expel any spent paper- or plastic-tubed casing neatly and reliably. A new barrel design has been adopted starting in 2006 in order to fit the tubes with internal interchangeable choke tubes certified for steel shot. Barrels are soldered to a straight filler band. Their internal profiles comply with CIP high performance steel shot regulations. The Saint-Etienne national Proofhouse conducts proofing and stamps barrels with the stylised « fleur de lys » proof mark that attests of conformity. In gunmaking, one cannot improvise design. The result is elegant, slim looking barrels. Many professional gunsmiths have to look twice to discern the presence of the screw-on choke tubes. Perfect balancing results in an incredibly fast-mounting gun.

Now you can go duck hunting with a good-looking side by side shotgun. Yet you still can take the same gun anywhere and make very good use of lead shot when hunting upland, taking part in a pheasant drive or roaming the densest woods in search of the exclusive woodcock. This incredible versatility resides in an elegant, highquality, perfectly balanced Chapuis Armes side-by-side Progress shotgun. superior proof for steel shot.
