The 28-inch over/under barrel set is chrome-moly steel in monobloc construction, fitted with a ventilated top rib and ventilated side ribs for heat dissipation and a clean sighting plane. Chambers are 3 inches (CAM 76), with Italian CIP proof marks including "CAM 76" and "18,4" indicating the 18.4 mm bore.
This shotgun uses interchangeable screw-in chokes and is set up with CYL (installed) and IMP CYL (installed), with a MOD option provided via the included tube marked "LEAD MOD / STEEL FULL." A single, gold-tone trigger manages both barrels, and a top-tang safety with barrel selector provides intuitive control.
