Iwould like to know if anyone ever heard of an company name Feg
Hungaria? Cabela has one to purchase, what i would like to know how good are they?And how strong are their action?If anyone has one would they post this information.

FEG (Fegyver Es Gepgyar) is an old, very large, arms manufacturer. See:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fegyver-_%C3%A9s_G%C3%A9pgy%C3%A1r

They make some nice shotguns. Some of the shoguns they have produced were quite innovative. Here is an example:



This is a Hungarian (FEG) 16 gauge box lock. It lacks a top lever, using instead the plunger (circled in red) behind the trigger. When this plunger is depressed, it releases the barrels and cocks the hammers. Since the opening of the action is not responsible for cocking the hammers, the weight and mechanical advantage of the barrels is enough to cause the action to open and the spent shells ejected (or extracted � more on this in a moment). It is an interesting way to make an easy opening gun.

But there is more. Just behind the breasts of the standing breech, there is a push through button:



The position of this button determines whether the safety is automatic, or manual. Push to the left, the safety is automatic; push to the right, the safety is manual.

There is still more. The mechanism that makes this gun an ejector gun is a detachable part in the fore end:



When installed the gun is an ejector gun. Snap that device out of the fore end, and the gun becomes an extractor gun.

Interesting design. The patent may be within this thread( I think it is in the 9th post): http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=179541&page=1

Cabela's bought up a whole bunch of fairly basic Sauers, Husqvarnas, FEGs, and inexpensive Spanish boxlocks. Nothing wrong with any of the guns, but most of them have been used pretty hard. You may still find a gem for a few hundred $ on their inexpensive used gun racks, but you have to do a fair amount of sifting.

Fellow would have to be awful hungari to want one of those.....that's one of the ugliest shotgun I've ever saw.

Seen some ,had to work on some . ButI've stopped having nighmares now. Seriously there were quite a few sold in the UK in the late 60's early 70's ,They were cheap and most worked reasonably well but were not up to prolonged or heavy shooting . They were guns for pot shooting or a little vermin control.

I like the removable ejector mechanism. Bobby

I bought a very nice FEG this summer from the original owner . It looks like it just came out of the box. It is quite a well made gun. I couldn't turn it down at $275.00 for the condition it was in. And if I remember without digging it out, I think it has chopper lump barrels.

And some are like this 20ga with sideplates, Bohler Blitz barrels, third fastener nice engraving. Internal parts are polished and jeweled too.

The opening mechanism is reminiscent (to my eye, anyway) of a French Ideal.
And the rest of the design is pretty innovative, too.
