IThe original XLR 5 stock configuration has a 12 mm pad ( length of pull = 365 mm ). You want to increase the length of pull ? Ask your dealer to order the 22 mm HRA™ RECOIL PAD, it is fully interchangeable without any adjustment.
The HRA ™ recoil pad, made with a revolutionary and patented material is extremely soft and provides a very high recoil absorption.
QUICK RELEASE SWIVELS
Introduced many years ago with the LION H35 TITAN, and copied by competitors, the XLR 5 uses quick release swivels. They are really perfect to take out the belt in 1 second.
The stripping resistance of the swivel fixed on the magazine cap is more than 120 Kg.. with FABARM safety has no limit!
HAND-OILED WALNUT AND REFINE CHECKERING
The 3 stocks grades ( OILED – ELITE – PRESTIGE ) are meticulously selected. The hand-oiled finishing is matte to emphasis the walnut grains. The checkering, innovative and elegant, provides a perfect grip in all weather conditions.
DROP AND DEVIATION SPACERS
With the XLR 5 you can adjust the stock in all positions, moving the drop or the deviation according to your morphology, even if you are left handed.
12 different positions are possible, without any adjustment on the wood!
WEAVER GROOVES
WXLR 5 is the only shotgun with a frame using WEAVER standard for the scope mount. All other shotguns are using +/-11 mm grooves ( this standard was originally created for air rifles and .22 LR rifles ) which are not well adapted for the 12 magnum recoil. Now with the XLR 5 your dealer can fix all types of scopes, red dot, etc… using all mounts studied for the big game rifles.
GREEN FIBRE OPTIC INSERT
On the frame to improve the sighting. It creates a green reference which have to be aligned with the red fibre optic front sight. No shotgun can provide a such quick and accurate sighting.
AUTOMATIC CUT-OFF
With the XLR 5 you can replace the chambered shotshell as you want, when you want, without activating the cut-off lever. Just pull backward the handle to insert a new shell in the chamber. The shotshells in the magazine tube will not move out. It’s our automatic cut-off system; it’s quick, reliable and easy to manage.
Then when you want to move the shotshells out of the magazine tube, just push the cut-off lever located on the left side of the trigger guard until it clicks.
INNOVATIVE HANDLE
Where “design for use” is the key word. Its ergonomic is just perfect. Its shape matches perfectly with the XLR 5 frame design.
FLUID LINES OF DESIGN
The forend and the frame have a perfect junction, without any step, without different levels. The XLR 5 forend has a perfect fixation on the frame, no pin or ABS insert, but only a large conical milling on the frame. No semi-auto has today a such strong conception to fix the forend.
PULSE PISTON
This exclusive and revolutionary gas system is patented by FABARM . It’s a piston with a soft polymer insert to regulate the reloading...with an incredible recoil reduction. It works as a progressive break in the gas cylinder. Reliable, easy to clean it stills 5 years after its introduction, probably as the most advanced gas system.
RELOADING SPRING ON THE MAGAZINE TUBE
The XLR 5 is one of the only few semi-auto shotgun with the reloading spring on the magazine tube. This conception, with the spring parallel to the barrel provides a better stability when firing than the shotguns with the spring in the stock, where there is an angle of approximately 15 ° between the barrel and the spring.
The XLR 5 is today the MOST STABLE semi-auto in the world. The tests made in 2008 show that the sighting correction at 35 meters between two shots, is with the XLR 5 up to 30 % lower than competitors.
THE FASTEST RELOADING CYCLE
The XLR 5 shoots 5 shotshells in 0,31 seconds… the fastest competitor is 36 % slower!
The technical features to explain its superiority:
- The reloading spring is directly connected with the action bar and the piston. This system is faster than systems with the reloading spring inside of the stock.
- The locking bolt is very fast, up and down…no waste of time like a rotating locking bolt.
ADVANCED BARREL GENERATION
The XLR 5 uses the most advanced barrel in the world ; the TRIBORE HP ( patented ).
- The only barrel which gives the possibility to shoot all types of steel shots ammunitions in all choke tubes tighter than MODIFIED, even the FULL.
- The only barrel in the world proof tested at 1630 BAR.
- Improved distribution compare to the regular competitor barrels : + 8 % with lead, +16 % with steel shot ammunitions.
CHROMED BARREL EXTENSION
The XLR 5 barrel has a chromed barrel extension for a perfect corrosion protection and to facilitate the assembly/disassembly.
The barrel is internally chrome plated and matte blued externally.
Modern and innovative top rib, 6 mm large with a red fibre optic front sight.
A TOTAL CAPACITY OF 5 SHOTS (4 +1)
The XLR 5 has a full capacity of 4 shotshells in the magazine tube + 1 shotshell in the chamber. A capacity reducer is added following the legislation requested in different countries. ( the reducer will be fixed or removable according to legal constraints ).
THE FIRST AND THE ONLY SHOTGUN PROOF TESTED AT 1630 BAR
The XLR 5 is submitted on the exclusive request of FABARM S.p.A. at an overpressure test of 1630 BAR by the National Italian Proof test house… competitors are still tested at 1370 BAR…
XLR 5 IS SAFER THAN OTHER !
