VERNEY-CARRON is France oldest and largest hunting gun maker (www.verney-carron.com) and historical manufacturer of Hastings barrels is in the process of reorganizing the distribution of Hastings shotgun barrels for the US market.

The Hastings Paradox is the premier off-the-shelf rifled shotgun replacement barrel available for many popular makes of shotguns. With six lands and grooves and a 1 in 34" twist (12ga) and 1 in 26" twist (20ga), this unique rifled barrel produces increased slug stability and amazing accuracy. Available for Remington model 870 (12 & 20ga including left hand 12ga), 1100 (12ga &20ga LT), 11-87 12ga only, and Browning A5 12ga both 2 3/4" & 3".

The Hastings Wadlock provides accuracy that's unmatched by any traditional smooth bore barrel. Each Barrel is designed with six straight lands and .005" deep grooves that run the length of the bore. This prevents wad and shot charge from spinning, which in turn greatly reduces the number of flyer shots and stray pellets. The bottom line? You'll see a 7-10% improvement in pattern density. That means more shots on target, and better results at the end of the day. Available for Browning A5, 12ga 28" and 30", Remington 12ga 870 28", 30" and 34"& 1100 34", and 870 12ga turkey (24" cantilever scope mount).

The Hastings Metro Barrel is ported, 12ga, 32-inch, screw-in barrel extension that will reduce noise and recoil from shotguns. When coupled with sub-sonic ammunition (available in lead shot, tungsten/iron shot and slugs), the system reduces a shotgun's blast and is a popular choice for sportsmen pursuing quarry in suburban areas. Available for the following choke systems: Beretta/Benelli , Benelli/Crio, Remington, Browning Invector +, Hastings CT 2 and Winchester.

Hastings Choke Tubes, available for all Hastings barrel choke systems (CT 1, CT 2, CT 3), extended turkey chokes and extended rifled choke for most choke thread patterns. See Hastings Distribution for complete listing of available chokes.
