What’s Included
- CBC Model 199 12 Gauge single-shot shotgun
The 28-inch carbon-steel barrel is factory set to a fixed full choke, providing tight patterns for turkey, waterfowl, or long-range clay targets. Its blued finish remains even and intact, complementing the straight-comb hardwood stock and smooth fore-end.
An under-lever latch secures the break-action, giving the shooter positive mechanical feedback when opening or closing the gun. The exposed hammer and single trigger keep operation intuitive and allow quick visual confirmation of the firearm’s status.
CBC’s hammer/firing-pin blocking safety is built into the action, adding a layer of mechanical security without complicating the manual of arms. This safety design, along with the hammer block, shows CBC’s focus on practical reliability.
The 14.25-inch length of pull fits most adult shooters, and the brass bead front sight offers a bright, uncomplicated sight picture. Weighing only one round at a time, this shotgun invites deliberate, accurate shooting and easy maintenance.
Magtech’s import mark on the left side of the receiver identifies this piece as part of a discontinued run, adding interest for collectors seeking complete CBC catalogs or distinctive South American imports.
