Was getting ready to buy another Ruger Red Label but ran across the American Arms Silver II. Looks like a nice gun for the money. Does anyone know about these guns?

  Didn't American Arms go out of business in the last two years??

  I had a Savage 330 with both 12 gauge barrels and 20 gauge barrels, that I traded for a Silver II at a gun show in Ocala, Florida. Mistake - mistake - mistake - mistake. I wanted an over/under with ejectors instead of extractors as I hunt and DON'T shoot those little clay birds.Is the Silver II good looking - you bet. Is it nice to have choke tubes instead of fixed chokes - you bet. BUT......the length of pull on the butt stock isn't correct for me and even worse the drop at the heel is WAY - WAY too little for me. I had a gunsmith install an adjustable butt pad that the clay bird shooters use - and set as far down as it will go it is just barely enough at the heel for me.If I had it to do over again, I would traded the Savage 330 and the two barrels off plus some to boot for a Ruger Red Label. It's lenght of pull and drop at the heel works for me - the Silver II does not.

  I have all gauges in the American Arms Silver II. For me they fit perfect. I love them. It is too bad they went out of business.
