Spooge 0 Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Hello guys. I saw an HK Fabarm shotgun at the gun show yesterday. 8 shot, pistol grip accesory rail (on the forend), etc. The dealer wanted $499.00 for it. Should I get it. I dont know much about FABARMS but this shotgun felf great, cycled great and so on. My Remington got stuck while I was putting shells into the tube. Had to use a screwdriver and visegrips (during a black out at night last week) The point is HK felt like a Mercedes compared to the Remington HElp should I get it. BTW, HK is dropping the FABARM line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,186 Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Hey... if you LIKE the way a gun feels... go for it... you want to shoot something thats comfortable. If you like the looks... EVEN BETTER.... I would check places like gunbroker.com or similar gun auction sites to price compare similar... or call some local dealers in your area to see if they can quote you a relatively standard "market price" for that gun.... Then you will know if its a good price or not... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,186 Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 I checked Gunbroker, seems that price might have been a little high.... compared to there... but with the shipping and an FFL transfer fee... it probably would have evened out.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doerdie 0 Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Remember, Gunbroker tends to run high in asking price. Go with sold items only to get a feel for market price. If he wanted $499, offer him $425 or $450, be perpared to walk away, but leave your name and # in case he changes his mind. Works for me on all kinds of stuff I buy.

Spooge 0 Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Thanks for the advise guys. I ended up getting the FP6 semi auto. I'm going to order a Choate extension (to hold a total of 8 shells), then place a tactical light and pistol grip on it. That should set it up for an " End of the world scenario" lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
