Geoff,
You are badly mistaken, and the people who imported the Siace you own broke Federal law, plain and simple. #479.102 of the National Firearms Act, Title 27, CFR chapter II is very clear on this. The model, caliber or gauge, importer, manufacturer, importers address, and, in the case of imported firearms, where the firearm was made, have to be engraved, cast, or stamped at least .003 of depth and in letters no less than 1/16 of size. It has to be placed conspicuously, and be on the frame, barrel or receiver.
I've imported guns for years, and if I could have left it off, I would have, plain and simple. Why anyone would think manufacturers would spend money to put the information there unless it was required under penalty of law is beyond me.
Best,
Ted
The importation information has to be there and is...it is, however, tastefully done, not zapped out of a nicely blued finish in block letters and gold washed.

They could engrave or roll stamp the wording the blue the barrels rathr than highlighting them, in ugly font to boot.

Here's another bit of feedback:
In this picture: 
while I'm glad to see the single trigger in the rear position, the profile of the trigger itself is ugly. Way to much metal hanging down from the body of the gun.

Tom,
Good article, it'll be interesting to see where it goes from here.

Thanks, Geoff. I'm merely a conduit through which information flows.
<grin>
Opinions are . . . well, you know. And these are just my opinions based on a first look and an hour at the range.

And if it is offered in 28ga on a 28ga frame...
By the way that factory looks cool, but I wonder if so little of the work is done by hand (with those fancy machines) couldn't they have been built in America almost as cheaply?

I agree with Geoff about the trigger profile being ugly. Get rid of all that belly! The gun definitely needs to have a double trigger option.
The receiver is just beautiful, with the scalloped rear and sculpting of the fences, tasteful, restrained engraving. Nice trigger guard, too. The splinter forend looks to be a fairly full one also, which might not be too bad until a semi-bt is available.
This gun has great potential at the prices being mentioned. They have gotten most of the eye appeal correct. The dynamics and reliable function will decide its success.
