I’m looking at one in 16ga built in 2004. It is really beautiful. What are some of your experiences with the gun if you own one?

Sorry no direct experience with them, but everything I've heard and read has been very positive.

I have a Garbi 62B 12ga. It is a bare bones sidelock probably made in the 80's. Side plates have no engraving and has a cheap finish, probably varnish.

Only problem I have had with it is a large crack in the fore end I first noticed a few weeks ago. Best quess is that the wood dried out and shank around the fore end iron. Will know better when I disassemble it.

Other than that and the fact that it doesn't fit me I love the gun. Not bad looking for a low level gun and light(6 lbs. 6 oz.) so a pleasure to hunt with.

I have a Garbi 51A boxlock. A bare bones sxs but it looks great and handles like a dream. No issues with my 40 yo gun.

My Garbi 101 had a terrible piece of wood for the butt stock. The grain was running 45’ to the action and it cracked through the wrist. Replacing it was a minimum of $3500. MAKE SURE it has the proper grain in the wrist and head of the stock. I didn’t and am paying for it now. The grain was beautiful though.

My Garbi ( model 200/ heavy proof / 3" / sideclips/ F/F) , is very well fit & finished with a nice piece of lumber. It is my late season pheasant gun and throws nice patterns of 2 3/4" Fiocchi # 5s.
Best regards,
