From the lack of responses on their personal opinions or experiences with a Fabbri doesn't seem like a lot of people on this board own one. Of course they only make a few guns a year so that cuts the odds way down. I've seen 1 guy here that hunts with one. I've only looked inside 1. Starting with the best materials in the world. Vacuum arm melted steel for the barrels as an example. And then running an optimized design. Geometry's, axis', radii, clearances, on the metal side, and then optimizing the manufacturing processes, and then covering all that up with Rizzini quality finishing processes, Purdy quality stock work, and Bank note engraving. you get a Fabbri. The dependability for high volume is kind of a three legged stool of material, design, and processing.
Out there doing it best I can.

My friend from the Texas rolling plains shoots one for quail, and doves I think, in 20 gauge. I have another friend who shoots one of Billy Perdue's old pigeon guns, also a Fabbri.
When that rich uncle of mine dies and leaves me everything I will, too.

With the pre-owned guns pulling $60K+ and new ones around $250K the likelihood of a Fabbri owner visiting this place is small I would think. just a thot

Hehe....that's funny Wonko. This is the poor man's forum. Well, I certainly qualify to be a member then and I certainly can't afford a Fabbri.

For a look at what my friend from the Rolling Plains shoots doves and quail with, see this old thread. Oh, and he is a contributing member here, his nom de plume is Mel5141. http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbt...true#Post430814 SRH

I'm pretty sure you mean "vacuum arc remelted steel" as opposed to what you typed. 3 pages and nary a mention of Phoenix steel in the barrels. Not only poor, but, perhaps not all that well read. Best, Ted

I didn't mention the Phoenix debacle because they've spent 40 years trying to bury it.
I'd prefer to mention how they can now put a 20 gauge shell down the tube and touch off a pigeon load behind it, without barrel failure.
Out there doing it best I can.

CZ, the deliberate firing of a gun with a 20 gauge shell down the tube can be done with a Benelli pump or a Baikal MP-18 single shot without barrel failure. Gil

Although I am not in a position to purchase a Fabbri, even used, I am a professor of mechanical engineering with a strong interest and much experience in predicting and analyzing stress related failures.
I would appreciate any and all information that forum members might be able to contribute on the Phoenix steel related failures mentioned. It could expand my knowledge and also serve as interesting "real world" information for class discussion.
