Anybody seen one of these yet? It would be nice if it had a smaller frame. The web site does not list the weights. If it does come in a smaller frame that would give the Rem 1100 a run for it's money. Here's the link....

Nice but do they still make motorcycles? Check on Bill Hanus' site for more information.[billhanusbirdguns.com] [/url] |

I saw some BSA auto's at a gun show. They only had the 12 and 20 ga. They were typical of Turkish guns. Probably not bad for the money. The ones I saw had wood stocks but I know they are available in synthetic. www.gzanders.com lists the 16 ga on the web site. I don't know anyone who has one. I think The NRA magazine did a review of the 28 ga a little while back. I also think I saw a recall on the auto not long ago. Check the web site.
Bill Hanus only sells the BSA Dianna. From the BSA advertisement, the better Dianna grade SxS is made in spain. The lower grade Classic is made somewhere else. I can't remember. |

I just visited the site. BSA 16 ga. semiauto/w synthetic stock, 7.6 LB. Looks like another 12/16 design to me. Back to the drawing board please. |

Well fortunately I've already got my Savage 720 on a 16 Ga frame. Too bad you can't get a gas-gun in that same frame style these days....
Though my Verona SX405 weighs nearly the same in 12 Ga with it's Aluminum reciever and hollow syntheic stock. But that's another story....

The BSA rep sent me a email and stated that the 16ga. is 6lbs 10 oz. there catalog also shows 16ga at 6 lbs 8oz to 6lbs 10oz depending on barrel and stock. I would like to see one up close also. |
