For about 20 years, Whitworth Arms LLC (my company) was the US importer for Marocchi, mainly of their "FinnClassic" 512 and 612 system guns (continuation of the Valmet 412). When these were discontinued, I lost interest as I never had much luck selling their other guns (semi auto and o/u shotguns). These seemed to go in and out of production every few years, the product line was very "dynamic". For example the model 92 (Conquista) was in production for many years; it was then replaced with the model 99 for about a decade, and then by the model 100 for about 3 years before that too was discontinued. These were all higher quality competition guns, on the heavy side for field use. They then introduced the model "First" which was a lighter entry level field gun and I see they still offer that. I think it's made in Turkey though, and possibly assembled in Italy. The model 612 only lasted a few years as well, and the parts were not common to the 512. That was a huge mistake, particularly barrel sets, as there is demand for barrel sets from 412 and 512 owners. I still have some O/U guns in inventory. Parts for discontinued models were somewhat hard to get as the company had a policy of producing guns in batches, from kitted parts, and did not order/make extras for service. Having said that, the guns were reliable and requests for parts were rather limited ... mostly people wanting to "stock up" on certain parts that they thought they might need in future. There was one weakness ... the 512 system guns had very strong ejector springs and the ejector blades would break after thousands of rounds if the springs were not cut down. If they did break, the plunger and spring were sometimes lost as well. Sadly, while I still have limited supplies of other parts, I do not have these blades and cannot get them. As for the company, the grandson of the founder was running it for a while and seems to have run aground; it appears that Breda bought the company with no improvement in service. I still cannot get parts and the Breda rep in the USA is comatose. The company website now shows the US distributor to be a Belgian company with an address in Belgium! The Breda website shows "Banshee Brands" as their US rep now, this company appears to be mainly smoke and mirrors. My request for parts placed with them about a year ago remains unanswered.
