Overview
The Charles Daly 601 semi-automatic shotgun is engineered for robust utility across demanding shooting applications. This platform integrates a lightweight yet strong aluminum alloy receiver with a gas-operated action, ensuring consistent cycling with both 2.75-inch and 3-inch shotshells. The 601 delivers consistent function and enables precise shot placement.
Key Features
Receiver Construction
The receiver of the Charles Daly 601 is precision-machined from solid bars of aluminum alloy, providing a high strength-to-weight ratio. This construction mitigates overall system mass while maintaining structural integrity required for sustained operation. Finished in Flat Dark Earth, the receiver offers enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.
Ammunition Versatility
This shotgun is configured to reliably cycle a range of ammunition, from standard 2.75-inch field loads to potent 3-inch magnum shells. The gas operating system is tuned for consistent extraction and feeding across this spectrum, optimizing its utility for various shooting disciplines.
Sighting System
The Charles Daly 601 features a high-visibility fiber optic front sight, providing rapid target acquisition. The rear of the receiver is equipped with an integrated Picatinny accessory rail, enabling the direct mounting of optics or other aiming devices to enhance precision and adaptability.
Choke System
For optimized pattern density, the 601 utilizes a Beretta/Benelli Mobil Choke Thread system. The shotgun includes three chokes: a flush Modified (M) and Full (F) choke for general purpose and tighter patterns, respectively, and an extended ported Extra-Extra Full (XXF) choke for specialized applications requiring extreme constriction. This selection facilitates pattern optimization for specific engagements.
