Well actually he wants a tarp gun
tarps are really easy to hit. I'm just having fun with his typo.
The CD may not be the best bet do to their out of biz status, that said I could have sent mine back, no charge. CD went out of business the same day I ordered the gun. I kinda agonized about that while waiting for the brown truck "o" happiness to hit my dealers shop.
I decided to just give the gun a through inspection when it arrived at my dealers, and then decide. I was so impressed with what my 600 bucks bought, I chose to keep it. I'm glad I did.
I would ask CDNN what their policy is on these guns, I have never heard a discouraging word about CDNN, and they have been around for a good long time. Numrich has parts for the gun. Who knows for how long.
The guns were made by Marocchi in Italy, if you look at Marrochi's site you will see that many of their models look a lot like a CD diamond.
I think the gun is still a great buy, warranty or no. YMMV. I hear good things about the Lanbers as well.
I thought hard about an 1100 for my foray in to trap. I've always owned doubles, the CD is my first O/U. I just like the way a break open gun handles. I also like the fact that others can easily see that the gun is open and thus safe.
I reload, and even with ejectors a break open gun makes it easy to handle your empties. I'm even thinkin of sending my buttstock in to Graco for a Gracoil and an adj. comb. See Rollin, you got me thinkin about getting rid of the cheap Morgan pad.
Seems a little weird to spend 500 on a 600 dollar gun, but that's how much I like my Diamond 3, it really is a fine piece. Folks that really know shotguns look it over, and are amazed at the 600 dollar price tag. After 3K of trap loads it is still a little stiff, but does open easier than when it was brand new. It's a keeper!
