    Got it Ardee Sports company, very light gun, under 3kgs. Haven't heard a lot of people talking about them at all. Appreciate the good luck, thanks

    I had a Breda semi-auto for five years. I put thousands of rounds through it. It eventually fell apart but I well got my money's worth.

    I shoot a Beretta now, I wouldn't go back but I loved my little Breda.

    It fell apart? Was it an old gun? A few of the older lads I've been talking to about it said the Breda would last you a life time..

    No I bought it new.

    There's two rods that connect a loop that goes around the tube mag to the bolt and they sheered off.

    The gun was very well cared for, it was just a weak point in the design.

    I'd say a Breda would last forever for hunting but definitely not for regular clay shooting.
