Description
The GForce Arms GF5 Filthy Pheasant .410 O/U 28″ 5 Chokes is a traditional over/under break-open shotgun built for upland hunters and clay shooters who want a lightweight, balanced field gun without the heavy price tag. Chambered in .410 bore with 28″ ventilated-rib barrels, it pairs a fixed select-grade Turkish walnut stock and forend with a black Cerakote finish and an aluminum receiver. Five extended choke tubes with Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke threading let you dial in patterns from tight to open. Fixed bead sighting with a brass mid bead gives you straightforward aiming for fast-moving targets. At $459.24, this is a solid entry-level O/U that punches above its weight.

Key Features
- Fixed Select-Grade Turkish Walnut Stock & Forend – WHY IT MATTERS: This gives you a classic, durable wood set that absorbs recoil and looks good doing it, without the plastic feel of budget shotguns.
- Black Cerakote Finish on Aluminum Receiver – WHY IT MATTERS: Cerakote resists scratches, rust, and wear better than blued steel, so your gun stays looking sharp even after a muddy day in the field.
- Five Extended Choke Tubes with Beretta/Benelli Mobil Threading – WHY IT MATTERS: You get immediate versatility for close-flushing pheasants or longer clay shots, and Mobil threading means you can swap in aftermarket chokes easily.
- Fixed Bead Sight with Brass Mid Bead – WHY IT MATTERS: Simple, reliable sight picture for fast target acquisition—no batteries, no adjustments, just point and shoot.
- 28″ Ventilated-Rib Barrels – WHY IT MATTERS: The rib reduces mirage on hot days and gives you a flat sight plane for consistent swing through upland cover or on the trap line.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is built for the hunter who wants a .410 O/U for upland birds, especially pheasants, but doesn’t want to drop a grand on a name-brand gun. It’s also a solid choice for new shooters learning the over/under platform, or experienced guys who need a lightweight backup gun for dove fields or grouse woods. If you’re after a clay gun for casual weekend rounds, the GF5 will handle it fine, but it’s not a competition rig.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Affordable price point for a Turkish O/U; Cerakote finish adds durability; five chokes included; walnut stock looks premium; lightweight at ~6.5 lbs.
- Cons: Fixed choke tubes mean no flush-fit option if you want a sleeker look; some users report the trigger pull is a bit heavy out of the box—nothing a gunsmith can’t tune.
