ATI Cavalry Sport .410 Bore O/U 28in Blued Walnut
About this product
The ATI Cavalry Sport is an over/under .410 bore shotgun featuring 28-inch blued barrels, Turkish walnut furniture, and a 3-inch chamber. This O/U configuration provides balanced handling for sporting clays and small game hunting, while the .410's modest recoil makes it accessible for newer shooters. With an 8-pound unloaded weight and 47-inch overall length, it bridges traditional aesthetics with modern mechanical features like selective ejection and choke tubes.
What is the ATI Cavalry Sport used for?
The Cavalry Sport is primarily a sporting clays and upland game gun for light-recoil applications. Its 28-inch barrel offers smooth swing dynamics for crossing targets, while the .410 bore is adequate for rabbits and squirrels under 40 yards. I'd recommend it for youth or recoil-sensitive adults transitioning from .22 LR to shotguns.
How does the ATI Cavalry Sport compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U Shotgun .410 Bore?
The Stevens 555 delivers more consistent choke tube patterning but costs $150 more. Where the Cavalry Sport uses basic Modified/Improved Cylinder tubes, the Stevens includes five Beretta-style chokes with laser-etched markings. For budget-conscious shooters who won't swap chokes frequently, the ATI's $648 price is the better value.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This shotgun weighs 8 pounds unloaded and measures 47 inches overall with a 28-inch barrel. The 14.5-inch length of pull accommodates average adult shooters, while the 1.5-inch vent rib provides clean sight alignment. Balance point sits 1 inch forward of the hinge—slightly barrel-heavy for stable follow-through.
Who is this NOT for?
Avoid this if you need defensive capabilities or waterfowl patterns. The .410 generates only 85 ft-lbs of energy at 25 yards—half a 20-gauge's power—and its 7/16-ounce shot payload spreads thin beyond 30 yards. For home defense, consider a 12-gauge Stevens 555 instead.
What's in the box?
You get the shotgun, two internal choke tubes (Modified and Improved Cylinder), and a basic owner's manual. Notably missing are a hard case and choke tube wrench—budget $35 for a Browning-style wrench and soft case. The manual covers disassembly but lacks torque specs for choke installation.
Is the ATI Cavalry Sport worth it at $648?
At $648, it's fair for a Turkish-made O/U with walnut furniture and functional ejectors. The action requires 200-300 rounds to smooth out, but the chrome-lined barrels resist corrosion better than many competitors. If you value wood aesthetics over target-grade precision, this is a sensible entry into over/under ownership.

- Single selective trigger eliminates barrel selection mistakes
Trade-offs

Frequently asked questions
- Does this work with .410 Bore 2.5-inch shells?
- Yes, the 3-inch chamber safely fires 2.5-inch shells with proper extraction. Expect slightly more fouling at the chamber shoulder after 50-75 rounds. Clean with a .410 bore brush every 200 rounds to prevent buildup.
- Is it compatible with aftermarket choke tubes?
- It uses proprietary threads incompatible with Beretta/Benelli tubes. Order replacements directly from ATI's parts department—allow 10-14 business days for shipping. The factory chokes handle most sporting clays courses adequately.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes FFL orders within 2 business days. Transit time averages 5-7 days via FedEx Ground. You'll need to provide your local FFL's contact information before shipment.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns require a 15% restocking fee and original packaging. Firearms must be unfired and shipped via FFL—allow 10 business days for inspection. Consider measuring your length of pull (14.5 inches) before purchasing.
