I owned a Fabarms Classic Lion, SxS, imported by H-K.
Very nice, well made gun. I sold it for 2 reasons: the gun has a palm swell on the right side of the grip, and I could never warm up to it;
2nd reason was I had an ejector stop working and I called H-K, the importer, about returning it to them for repair. I was told they do not warranty the gun. I said you are mistaken, the Owners Manual says H-K warranty's the gun for life. Long story short, I went up the 'food chain' at H-K to a Supervisor, and they declined to warranty. The best they would do is transfer me to a guy who could walk me through the repair.
I was, and still am, really PO'd at H-K.
The gun itself was a good gun, well made.

I have an L4S and it is my favorite of the several shotguns I own. The issue of FABARM shotguns not being serviced no longer exists since FABARM is now owned by Caesar Guerini. It's the wood stocked shotgun on the left.
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me.

I had a 12ga. Classic Lion I sxs. It was a beauty w/ 30" barrels, DT, extrawood. I foolishly traded it off.
If you put Taco Bell sauce in your ramen noodles it tastes just like poverty

I bought the camo waterfowl model at Orvis in Manchester Vt.
So far so good, I have taken 6 geese so far.

I own a classic Lion 12 Ga. SS and love it. I shoot it better than most other guns I own. 7/8 oz loads are real sweet. My only concern is what I will do if it ever breaks.
