Hey was looking for a new game gun and a friend knew a guy selling what he called a Connaght shotgun. really well looked after and not too expensive. I realise that they must be a commissioned gun but who is the original maker? Any ideas?

You might ask this lad where his gun was made and by whom.

Hi rowa
I think you might be on to something there.
A clones of a Beretta product is not out of the question.

Beretta's Turkish factory was once the property of ATA Arms, Türkiye.
