Product Overview
At the heart of the high performance XLR5 platform is the revolutionary Pulse Piston system that acts as a progressive brake thereby eliminating any valve system and allows for the function of varying types of ammo. This equates to a system that is simpler; contains less parts; is easy to clean and inevitably more reliable. Additionally; the braking of the pulse system progressively slows the action with heavy loads reducing felt recoil. Most significantly the reduction in recoil and enhanced reliability is achieved in what is the fastest cycling Semi-auto hunting gun on the planet at .31 of a second for five rounds.
To maximize down range performance; FABARM incorporated their proven TRIBORE HP barrel design into the XLR5. This tapered bore allows for reduced recoil and improved pattern performance. They also created a special competition choke tube; the EXIS DK; tuned for non-toxic ammo in the most popular pellet sizes. This choke in combination with the TRIBORE barrels allow the XLR5 to do what no other hunting shotgun can; use up to extra full choke without any negative effect on the firearm. As an assurance of strength and durability every FABARM XLR5 is tested by the Italian National Proof House to the highest possible rating of 1630 BAR.
If pure performance is the heart of the XLR5; the extensive list of user-friendly features are the brains. The oversized trigger guard; safety; magazine cut off; and extended bolt handle are purposely designed to allow for full control of the firearm with even the bulkiest winter gloves. The competition bred LR (Long Rib) concept has a top rib that increases the sighting plane by 4 1/2” and allows the shooter to see down the rib with a more comfortable head-up posture. To reduce glare; the top surface of the rib is masked off to provide a camo-free matte black finish. The front sight is a high visibility fiber optic.
Water and mud can destroy a shotgun quickly. To reduce the possibility of rust and corrosion the barrel extension and bores are chrome plated. FABARM also PVD-coated the bolt; nickel-plated the chokes; and covered the external metal surfaces with camo for added protection. The synthetic stock is also coated with a Soft Touch camo process to create a rubberized feel.
*Average weight with 30″ barrels. Weight may vary based on material density.
