Description
There's a lot to like about an inertia gun at this price point. The Silver Eagle Arms Foris runs a clean inertia-driven action instead of a gas system, which means less carbon blowing back into the receiver and a lot less scrubbing at the end of a muddy duck hunt. Chambered for 3.5 inch magnum shells with a 3+1 capacity, this thing will happily digest heavy goose loads one weekend and clay target fodder the next without complaint.
What Makes the Foris Worth a Look
The 28 inch vent rib barrel is chrome lined, which is a nice touch on a field gun that's going to see rain, snow, and swamp mud. Up top you get a bright fiber optic front sight that picks up fast on flushing birds, and the oversized controls are easy to run with cold or gloved hands. The black synthetic stock features a rubber cheek piece to soften things up, and the whole package comes in around six and a half pounds, light enough to carry all day without wearing out your shoulder before the birds show up.
Choke Tubes and Fit, Handled
Silver Eagle didn't skimp on the extras here. The Foris ships with five Benelli Crio Plus choke tubes covering Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full, so you can pattern it for anything from close-flushing quail to late-season geese. It also includes three stock shims to adjust drop and cast to your build, plus a hinged hard case that beats the cardboard box most guns show up in.
Cleaning the Foris Is Refreshingly Simple
The two-piece receiver design breaks down quickly for maintenance, and since the inertia system keeps gases out of the action, cleanup after a long day is a wipe-down rather than a project. For hunters who want one 12 gauge that covers waterfowl, upland birds, and the occasional round of skeet, the Foris covers a lot of ground for the money.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Silver Eagle Foris handle 3.5 inch magnum shells?
Yes, the Foris is chambered for 3.5 inch shells, so it will run everything from 2.75 inch target loads up to full magnum waterfowl and turkey loads. Keep in mind that inertia actions generally like a bit of shoulder resistance behind them, so very light loads fired from a loose hold may not cycle as reliably as heavier field loads.
What choke tubes does the Foris use?
The Foris is threaded for the Benelli Crio Plus pattern and comes with five tubes: Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. That covers just about every hunting and clay scenario, and since Crio Plus is a common thread pattern, aftermarket options from makers like Carlson's and Trulock are easy to find.
Is the Foris easy to clean and maintain?
It's one of the easier semi-autos to keep up with. The inertia action keeps powder gases out of the receiver, so it stays much cleaner than a gas gun, and the two-piece receiver design makes disassembly quick. The chrome-lined barrel also shrugs off moisture and cleans up fast after wet hunts.
Can I adjust the stock fit on the Silver Eagle Foris?
Yes, it ships with three shims that let you adjust the drop and cast of the stock to match your build and mounting style. Combined with the rubber cheek piece on the synthetic stock, most folks can dial in a comfortable, consistent cheek weld without any gunsmithing.
