The Hatfield SAS USA410W is a semi-automatic shotgun featuring a turkish walnut buttstock and forend with deluxe checkering and a recoil absorbing 0.5" ventilated rubber recoil pad. The SAS operating system is a unique blend of gas and inertia, where a gas piston moves only one inch to kick the bolt rearward and start the bolts inertia travel through the operating cycle; fewer moving parts provides higher dependability. The SAS gas/inertia system operates dependably with most commercially available 2.75" and 3" shells. The gas/inertia action is housed inside a receiver machined from 7075 aluminum finished in a high gloss black anodizing. The SAS 28" barrel is chambered for both 2.75" and 3" shells and features a full length ventilated rib and screw-in chokes; three chokes full, modified and improved cylinder are included. Magazine capacity is 4+1 rounds, but with a magazine plug included to limit the capacity to 2+1 rounds. Total weight is approximately 7 lbs.

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 410 Gauge (410 Bore) shotgun cartridge is the only shotshell named by caliber (diameter) rather than the old "gauge" designation of round balls to the pound. Introduced in the U.S. in the early 1900s the 410 Gauge is the smallest shotshell in common use, offered in 2.5-inch loads with a 1/2-ounce payload and 3-inch loads with 3/4-ounce payloads. Most modern shotguns are chambered for 3-inch shells, but the longer shells cannot be used in guns with 2.5-inch chambers. 410 Gauge is a standard event in formal American Skeet competition. Because of its light recoil the 410 Gauge is often chosen as a "starter" shotgun for youngsters, but it is not an ideal choice; the light payload sharply limits range, effectiveness, and hitting ability, frustrating the efforts of generations of youngsters--and 410 slug loads are very marginal for deer. In the right hands at close range the 410 gauge is effective on upland game, but at its best it is a choice for experienced expert shotgunners. — Craig Boddington
