I've been at SCI plus Dallas for the last couple of weeks, i.e., the reason for my delay in answering. I have a SIACE imported in 1998 by New England Arms. My 12ga is a self cocking, hammer, ejector model, English stock, splinter forearm, with a manual tang safety, 27" barrels, and very nice wood. I've had the gun about a year now and use it regularly at 5 Stand and Sporting - for far it's performed 100% - I wish I could say the same about my shooting.
