Fabarm · Italian-Made Side-By-Side · Engraved Game Gun
The Fabarm Autumn Elite SXS — old soul, new steel, no compromises
There’s a moment every game shooter knows — the stillness before the flush, the quiet weight of a fine gun across the palms, the rush of sending the perfect shot. The Fabarm Autumn Elite is built for exactly that moment. It’s a traditional Italian side-by-side that carries real heritage in its lines and genuinely modern engineering underneath — a proper game gun, not a wall-hanger.
Available in both 12 gauge and 20 gauge, with hand-oiled Grade II Turkish walnut, intricately engraved, gold-touched sideplates, and Fabarm’s TRIBORE HP barrels that pattern clean and swing fast. Made in Brescia, backed in Australia by C.R. Kennedy, and — unlike the allocation-only Infinite RS Grade IV — in stock now at Gun Bar, ready to ship. $7,499.
Heritage With Modern Steel
A classic side-by-side that actually shoots like a modern gun
All the romance of a traditional game gun, none of the old-world compromises.
A lot of side-by-sides trade on looks and ask you to forgive the shooting. The Autumn Elite doesn’t. Beneath the classic lines sit Fabarm’s TRIBORE HP barrels — deep-drilled with a tapered, Venturi-style bore that delivers an over-bored barrel’s clean, even pattern without giving up penetration, and a lengthened forcing cone that flattens felt recoil. It’s built on a forged-steel receiver, fitted with automatic ejectors and a selectable trigger with the barrel selector integrated into the tang safety, and it’s proof-tested to 1630 bar — well beyond the C.I.P. legal standard — and cleared for high-performance steel shot. Classic on the outside, thoroughly modern where it counts.
12 Or 20 Gauge
Pick your poison — the same gun in two weights of swing
Few Fabarm side-by-sides give you the choice. This one does.
The Autumn Elite is offered in both 12 gauge and 20 gauge — a genuinely useful choice for a game gun. The 12 is the all-rounder: more payload for driven birds, pigeons over decoys and the odd pig, and the gauge most Australian shooters already feed. The 20 is the gun for long days on foot — lighter to carry over the paddock, quicker between the hands on a snap-shot in cover, and kinder on the shoulder when the flushes come thick. Same classic geometry, same engraving, same TRIBORE HP performance — you’re only choosing how the gun carries and swings.
The Dress
Engraved sideplates, gold touches, walnut you’ll keep touching
This shotgun doesn’t scream for attention — it earns respect.
The Autumn Elite wears its quality quietly. The forged-steel action is finished in silver nitrite, intricately engraved across the sideplates and lifted with gold plating — crisp, refined work with real character, not a machine-stamped afterthought. The stock is Grade II Turkish walnut, cut to classic game-gun geometry with a pistol grip and hand-oiled so the grain deepens with every season of use. It balances between the hands the moment you close it, and it comes cased in Fabarm’s Integrale hard case with a five-piece Flush Inner HP choke set. It’s the kind of gun you buy to use hard and hand down one day.
The Details That Matter
Six reasons it’s the game gun to own

Deep-drilled, tapered-bore barrels for flatter recoil, cleaner breaks and even patterns — steel-shot proofed to 1630 bar.
Forged-steel sideplates, intricately engraved and lifted with gold plating — refined, characterful, unmistakably Fabarm.

Supplied in the Fabarm Integrale hard case with a five-piece Flush Inner HP choke set — in stock and ready to ship.
Choose Your Configuration
28-inch or 30-inch — pick your barrels
The livelier, faster-handling barrel. Quick to the shoulder and quick between the hands — favoured for close, fast birds in cover and for the walking gun.
Best for: walk-up game, birds in cover, a lighter carry.
The longer sighting plane and a smoother, more deliberate swing — favoured for driven birds, pigeons over decoys and longer, more measured shots.
Best for: driven and decoyed birds, longer shots, a settled swing.
Both barrel lengths are offered in 12 gauge and 20 gauge, share the same engraved, gold-touched action, Grade II walnut and TRIBORE HP barrels, and ship in the Fabarm Integrale case with the five-choke set. Choose your gauge and barrel length at the top of the page.

Common Questions
Fabarm Autumn Elite — common questions
Is it available in both 12 and 20 gauge?
Yes — the Autumn Elite is offered in both 12 gauge and 20 gauge, in 28″ or 30″ barrels. Choose the 12 for payload and reach, the 20 for a lighter carry and quicker swing. Select your gauge and barrel length at the top of the page.
Can it shoot steel shot?
Yes. The Autumn Elite’s TRIBORE HP barrels are proof-tested to 1630 bar — well beyond the C.I.P. legal standard — and cleared for high-performance steel shot, so it’s ready for waterfowl and non-toxic-shot ranges as well as the field.
How is it different from the Fabarm Infinite RS?
Both are Italian Fabarm side-by-sides, but they’re built for different jobs. The Autumn Elite is a traditional game gun — classic geometry, engraved and gold-touched, 12 or 20 gauge, made to carry and hunt. The Infinite RS is a competition gun — a Monte Carlo adjustable-comb stock, a Quick Release Rib and a Racing trigger, built to win on the sporting clays line. Pick the Autumn Elite for the field; the Infinite RS for the clays.
Is the engraving hand work?
The Autumn Elite carries intricately engraved sideplates with gold plating on a silver-nitrite forged-steel action — refined, characterful Fabarm work. If it’s the hand-engraved, top-graded walnut treatment you’re chasing, the Classis Grade IV steps that up again.
Is it in stock, or is there a wait?
In stock and ready to ship. Unlike the allocation-only Infinite RS Grade IV, the Autumn Elite is available now — place your order on a valid firearms licence and Gun Bar handles dispatch through the proper licensed-dealer process.
What comes with it?
The gun ships in the Fabarm Integrale hard case with a five-piece Flush Inner HP choke set, plus the owner’s manual and test certificate. It’s ready to shoot out of the box.
What licence do I need, and how does buying from Gun Bar work?
A shotgun is a licensed firearm in Australia. In Queensland the Autumn Elite is a Category A firearm and requires a current licence of the appropriate category and a Permit to Acquire — categories vary by state, so check your own. Gun Bar is a licensed Queensland firearms dealer (Dealer 50001615) and completes the sale through the proper dealer-to-dealer process; place your order and the team walks you through the paperwork and dispatch. Gun Bar cannot lodge your licence or PTA on your behalf — that’s between you and your state firearms authority.
