The Hatfield SGL is a single barrel shotgun featuring a Turkish walnut buttstock with rubber recoil pad, checkered pistol grip and a matching walnut forend. The SGL's action is the classic exposed hammer, break-open style, which incorporates an action-bar safety requiring the trigger to be pulled and held rearward for the gun to fire and also a crossbolt hammer blocking safety. The SGL has a 28" modified choke barrel chambered for both 2.5" and 3" shells. The barrel's sighting plane is a full length ventilated rib and brass bead front sight.
