The Charles Daly 101 FS is a single-shot shotgun in 28 gauge with a fixed walnut stock and steel receiver. At 5 lbs and 41.75 inches overall, it's light enough to carry comfortably through a full day in the field. The MobilChoke system accepts interchangeable choke tubes, the gun ships with a modified tube and wrench, so you can adjust pattern density for different birds or distances. A brass bead front sight gives a clean sight picture for wingshooting.

  The single-shot action is straightforward, break open, load one shell, close. That simplicity appeals to shooters who want to focus on one deliberate shot rather than capacity. The walnut stock is finished nicely for the price point. This gun fits the role of a 28-gauge upland field gun or an entry-level target gun without pretension.

Owners of the Charles Daly 101 FS 28 GA generally like it for what it is: a light, affordable single-shot with decent wood and a manageable gauge. The walnut stock draws consistent praise. It looks better than expected at the price. The 28 gauge is easy to handle, which makes this a common recommendation for new shooters or younger hunters.

The main recurring complaint is capacity. One shell at a time is the whole deal, and in fast-moving upland situations that can feel limiting. Some owners also flag durability questions relative to higher-end break-actions, though most report no mechanical issues with normal use. Pricing is generally seen as fair for a no-frills single-shot that works reliably.
