Background
FABARM has been making shotguns in Brescia since 1900, and the STF/12 represents their first dedicated combat-shotgun design after a century of building sporting and competition guns. Its quick-change barrel system means a single registered receiver can become five different shotguns just by swapping tubes - an approach borrowed from modular AR-15 thinking and applied to the pump-action world.
