I mail-ordered one of those Italian made Richland Arms guns back in 1968, just prior to the 68 ban on mail order. In fact last new post-1898 gun I bought which didn't have to have a form 4477 filled out. My Son has it now. It's not really ben shot all that much, but the only problem I ever had was a too soft recoil pad. Pad was so soft it was like holding it just off your shoulder to shoot, giving it Jumping room to pound you.
The first two or three shotguns I ever shot were singles with outside hammers. The first one I actually owned was a SxS hammerless. I was a "Newbie" & Yes that gun Spoiled me. I still, 64 years later, prefer a SxS over any other style of shotgun. If the girl Wants a SxS, by all means, Start Her Right.
