I would need a much more detailed explanation of the Invictus hinge system than is provided by the catalog. Can anyone simplify it for us? In my opinion, the standard trunnion system is preferable to any system with a bunch more parts.

[img] https://www.shotgunworld.com/attachments/1689348066741-png.85876/[/img] It has a pair of replaceable hinge trunnions mounted to the barrel monoblock instead of in the frame. There is a recoil lug under the barrels which bears against a replaceable draw mounted in the bottom of the frame. Their claim to fame is that these replaceable parts allow it to be rejointed many times over by swapping in oversize elements.

Similar or identical to the trunnion system on a Beretta. After 45 years of hard use, my Beretta trunnions have not needed to be replaced. I just don't like the extraneous parts in the Invectus system.

I have worn out one trigger set on my MX8, and had the top rib relaid. Bought a new trigger set from Don Rackley. Giacomo relaid the rib. Keep in mind this is a Winchester imported Perazzi, so there's no telling how much it could have been shot before it came my way.
I've shot most of the major players (brands) at NSCA competition, and even with those two issues I had to sort out with the MX8, I'd rather have it than any other comp O/U I've ever used. However, if I had to leave Perazzi I'd probably go to a Blaser.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Yeah, I dunno how useful the replaceable bits really are. I don't think they necessarily hurt anything by being in there, but I also think it's more of a marketing stunt than anything. A Boss-action gun, when kept properly clean and lubricated, shouldn't need a rejoint unless you get to some ridiculous round counts.

Thanks for the heads up on the M-Spec (Faulds) model. I was not even aware of it until you mentioned it and have located two of the Invictus IX M-Specs in the US. They are the only two made so far in this grade and the dealer said he ordered them 2 yrs. ago. Regards, Sandlapper

Much off topic, but I remember reading (in an old copy of Picture Post?) that between the Wars pistons and engine blocks for London Buses were graded in 4 piston/bore sizes.
The newest blocks had the smallest bores and were fitted with the oldest pistons.
The newest and largest pistons went into the oldest blocks which by then had the largest bores.
