Among the most iconic double-barrelled shotguns in production Fratelli Poli undoubtedly stands out Amber Extra 28 gauge built on the .410 action, an extremely refined technical solution that allows for a lightweight, perfectly balanced gun capable of offering a hunting experience unlike any other. Elegance, lightness, and build quality come together in a side-by-side designed for the hunter seeking the pinnacle of Italian gunmaking tradition.
The choice of the .410 action: an exclusive project
The element that makes the Amber Extra so appreciated by connoisseurs is the choice to build the 28 gauge on the dedicated .410 action.
This solution allows for the creation of a side-by-side shotgun with extremely elegant proportions, with a more compact action than that normally used for the 28 gauge, significantly improving the overall balance of the gun.
The result is a side-by-side shotgun that conveys an extraordinary sensation of agility when shouldering and which, thanks to its weight of just 2,2 kg , becomes an ideal companion for stalking and for all those days spent following pointing dogs.
The prestigious Anson & Deeley action
The Amber Extra uses a refined Anson & Deeley type action , one of the most appreciated mechanical systems in the history of English double-barrelled shotguns.
The action is forged , then finished entirely by hand and built specifically for the caliber of the gun, ensuring perfect proportions, structural strength and exceptional aesthetic harmony.
The precision of the mechanical couplings ensures an extremely solid closure and a long life even after many years of use.
Barrels built according to the best gunmaking tradition
The Amber Extra rods are made with the usual care that distinguishes all the production Fratelli Poli.
Upon customer request, they can be supplied with internal chrome plating , a treatment that improves corrosion resistance, facilitates cleaning and helps maintain constant performance over time.
The barrels are joined using a refined three-turn compass joint , a process of high technical and aesthetic value which testifies to the artisanal level of the construction.
Thanks to the high quality of the internal workmanship and the perfect concentricity of the barrels, the Amber Extra offers regular patterns and ballistic performance perfectly suited to the most diverse forms of hunting practiced with the 28 gauge.
Selected woods and completely handcrafted finishing
The stock and forend are made using fine selected walnut wood , individually chosen to enhance the natural grain and ensure stability over time.
Each stock is finished with a traditional oil finish , a process that enhances the depth of the wood, enhances its natural appearance and allows its beauty to remain intact over the years.
Perfect control of the weapon is guaranteed by a refined, completely hand-crafted checkering , made with a pitch of 0,8 mm , capable of offering an excellent grip without compromising the elegance of the stock.

The particular distribution of weight obtained thanks to the .410 action makes the gun extremely rapid in swinging, favoring a natural rise towards the target and significantly reducing fatigue during long days of hunting.
These are characteristics that are particularly appreciated when hunting with pointing dogs, where lightness and quickness of shouldering are fundamental qualities.
Engravings of refined elegance
The action is embellished with elegant engravings that follow the best tradition of Brescian gunsmithing.
The ornamental motifs are created with great balance, enhancing the metal surfaces without ever being excessive, helping to give the shotgun a classic style destined to remain current over time.
