The Charles Daly 101 20 Gauge single-shot shotgun (part no. 930.281) is a compact break-action gun with a 20-inch barrel and a black finish. It is chambered for 3-inch 20 gauge shells, takes Beretta/Benelli Mobil-style choke tubes and carries a fiber optic front sight for a bright aiming reference. A manual safety and a simple one-round design keep operation straightforward, which suits a youth hunter, a farm gun or a turkey blind. The black synthetic stock handles damp field conditions without fuss.
