Also my first post on this sight. 

I picked this gun up on a trade.  Un-fired 12 guage American Arms O/U with 3inch chamber.  I just started after turkeys about 4 years ago and shot my first two this past season.  My pump was a little noisey around the forearm, so I am going to try and work with this O/U this coming season.  I put  a TruLock 660 on top and 670 on bottom.  I have some different ammo I am wanting to try out to see which patterns best and with which choke.  I still havne't figured out if I should just use the same chokes or not.

American Arms went out of business and this particular model uses Fausti chokes which were kinda hard to find.

Nice gun.  I have two of them.  It should use the AA chokes. 
Tell us just how dead do you want them to be and we will see if we can get that for you.

It uses American Arms Chokes, but I had trouble finding them with some of the popular companies.  I called around and the Fausti chokes fit it fine.  I had wanted a Hevishot choke, but they doidn't make one for the gun. I got the non-ported chokes so I could try some Fedeal HW #7's.

First of all, welcome to OG. We're glad that you're here and looking forward to getting to know you better. This is a great site and I know you'll enjoy being here.

That's a good looking gun. In 1996 & 1997 the Fausti American Arms O/U guns were NWTF guns of the year. I know several folks who got them during that time. I believe that George Trulock makes chokes to fit those guns, if you ever want to try something different.

Best of luck to you with your new gun.

Thanks,
Clark

Sweet O/U.  I myself justed started with a ruger red label last year looking to get a turkey.  Have an older 835 which is about 12 years old.  Havent gotten anything with that either.

Good luck.

Looks good!
