Hi fellas!

This is my original Italian Valtro PM-5 box magazine fed 12 gauge pump shotgun.

It was initially produced by Valtro in the 80s, and Brixia continued production after Valtro went down.

The magazine takes 7 shells, and are quite expensive to source.

It was used by various police and military units, and French Navy is still keeping them in service.

Overall, I love the pistol grip and fixed stock, and the fact that it is a reliable mag-fed shotgun. The 14” barrel makes it quite maneuverable and gives it a cool look. Some people do not like the length of pull though, which I don’t mind.

Note: Trigger lock was temporarily removed for pictures; it is on it at all times.

Nice lookin boomstick.... have you had any issues with feeding, etc? I've heard that if you get a mag-fed shotgun, you should get some peanut butter too, cause youre gonna have a fuck ton of jam. Lol

I had a Norinco mag fed 870 clone that was perfectly reliable and it was Chinese, so I don't think they're inherantly unreliable. Some models are probably a bit more flawed than others.

Mine is reliable after putting some tape on the magazine feed lips to help retention. The metal mags need some work but the poly ones are great.
