The italian company who makes two of there models is rota luciano in brescia italy. The same company made guns for cape outfitters when they were in business. The one I have has heald up well for the abuse it,s gone through. Snow ,rain falling on it,and laying it down in the desert sand. Broke one ejector hammer, didn,t fix it.1600 or 1800 shells. longshot 1385 ft per second , still going strong.
