Overview
The Huglu 103FE is an over-and-under double-barrel hunting shotgun produced by the Huglu Hunting Firearms Cooperative in Turkey. It is the top-tier finish of the 103 series, distinguished from the base 103C by decorative hand-engraved sideplates on the silver receiver and by automatic ejectors. Most commonly chambered in 12 gauge with a 3-inch (76mm) chamber and 28-inch (711mm) chrome-lined monoblock barrels topped by a ventilated rib, it is fitted with a Turkish walnut stock and a set of interchangeable screw-in mobile chokes. Like the rest of the 103 range it is also offered in 20, 28 and .410 gauges.

Notes
The 'E' in the 103-series suffixes denotes engraved/ejector models; the 103FE adds hand-engraved sideplates over the standard boxlock action. Weight is nominal (approximately 7 lb / 3.2 kg for the 12-gauge) and varies by gauge and barrel length. Supplied with a set of five mobile chokes.
Background
The Huglu cooperative grew out of gunsmith workshops in the central Anatolian mountain town of Huglu, where firearms have been hand-built since the Ottoman era; its craftsmen formally united into a cooperative in 1962 and today export engraved over-and-unders worldwide under Huglu and OEM brands.
