Type of Finish: Blue
Finish Originality: Original
Bore Condition: The bores are bright in both barrel sets. There is no erosion in any of the bores. In this writer’s opinion, the bores rate a 9 or 10 out of 10.
Overall Condition: This shotgun retains about 99% of its metal finish. The balance of the finish shows no notable wear or damage, just some light handling marks. The screw heads are sharp. The markings are clear. Overall, this shotgun is in Excellent condition.
Mechanics: The action functions correctly. The barrel lockup has no play to the receiver. We did not fire this firearm. We have cleaned this firearm and performed a mechanic’s check but expect many will want to clean the firearm again depending on their standards.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: This shotgun comes with a hard case (please note the center clasp is not working) with a nylon cover, a black polymer box with the three (3) additional 12 GA choke tubes, a red Perazzi polymer box containing alternate hammer springs with pins and a tool, three (3) pairs of Briley tube sets (20 GA, 28 GA, .410) and three (3) choke wrenches (12 GA, 20 GA, 28 GA). There is no choke wrench for .410. This shotgun also comes with the original Perazzi stock and forend (included but not installed).
Our Assessment: Perazzi sounds like a high-end sports car, and in the gun world it is. They have long been a staple of just about any kind of shotgun sport you can name, famous for their craftsmanship, beauty and durability. As such, they command a high price, with some buyers going all the way to Italy to be measured in person so that their gun can be specially and exactly fit to them. That said, like a high-end sports car, it can be much more economical to buy used. This one is their MX2000 models and it comes with a pair of 28 1/4″ barrels (one set threaded for 12 GA chokes and the other set up to accept the included Briley Tube Sets to change calibers). With its beautiful construction and legendary Perazzi quality, this is a gun that will turn some heads and dust some clays. Please see our photos and good luck in your bidding!
