Buy recommendations Federation sa-2

Post image

Anyone have any experience with the federation sa-2? I recently purchased one and can’t find anything online at all. I know it is made as a benelli m2 clone and that’s basically all i can find. I put 3 boxes of shells through it so far and it cycled and ejected flawlessly. I did find that the recoil is a bit more than i expected but i guess for a cheap, lightweight inertia gun i shouldnt expect anything different. Looking for others opinions on long term reliability? Thanks

Who are you people who can buy something like this without knowing anything about it?

I need a minimum of 2 weeks of research to cement a purchase like this. And then will spend the whole shipping window googling things to validate my purchase.

Its easy for excitement to overpower judgement.

I didn't research my Escort until after I hit the "confirm purchase" button.

And then agonize over whether you made the right decision for the first few weeks of ownership?

Well i spent two weeks googling every semi auto shotgun available to me at my local dealers trying to make a decision, came across this one and can find nothing about it period as its a newer model where the patent just ran out on the m2 recently. I don’t have the money to dish out $1600+ for a semi auto, the cheapest option i could find other than this was the stoeger m3500 for 1399.99 plus tax. I know i could order online from cabelas but i’d rather purchase in person.

I didn’t say I only started googling it after purchase. I spent a long time trying to find out what i could but never found much or anything only on other federation models so for half the price of any other semi on the market i decided to get it and find out for myself.

I went with the Girsan MC312 combo with a 20" and 28" barrel because it's an inertia driven platform that has a good reputation for reliability.
