I picked up an Italian O/U at a pawn shop for $300. It's double triggered extractor with a Kirsten lock up. Proofed in 69 From what I can tell from the internet $300 seems about the going price. Seems a nice gun for the money. I can't help but wonder what's wrong with it. Anybody here able to tell me any thing? I bought it for a spit on the floor hunting shooter. Seems a nicer gun then an 870.

Universal Firearms Corp. Hileah Fla.
Universal imported guns from Italy and Russia. They stopped about 1982.

Would you know who made the gun? If it came out of Russia, it was most likely Baikal. The were a lot of small Italian shops around at the time, many did not survive. Wish I could be of more help. Pete

As I said before, Baikal isn't a maker, it's a brand.
Anyway, there weren't any Russian o/u's with Koersten lockup.

Pooch, Sabatti or Zoli would be maybe the most likely possibilities of relatively well-known Italian makers. Any maker's mark in evidence other than standard Italian proofmarks? I picked up a 20ga Italian OU made for Sears a number of years ago. Made by Zoli.

I owned a Universal Over Wing 20 Ga O/U in the mid seventies. Purchased from K-mart for $179.00 on a close out. It was Spanish made. Never had any issues with it other than it was stocked like a trap gun and wasn't to useful for chasing Okie Bobwhites.
