Hi Guys, I have heard a rumour that one of the Italian companies is going to be selling a lever action 12GA shotgun in Australia after the Chinese IAC 1887 clone stopped being manufactured. I have tried Googling but to no result. Does anyone have any idea who it may be? Cheers, MarkL

Hello fellow Aussies! Are there any H&C members in here - especially ones from Qld? :-) Cheers, MarkL
