About the Charles Daly 214E

The Charles Daly 214E is an over/under double-barrel shotgun chambered in 12 gauge with 3-inch chambers. Built on a break-action receiver, it stacks two chrome-lined barrels topped with a vented rib and fiber-optic front sight, and feeds two shells fired in sequence by a single selective trigger with automatic ejectors. Sold in field, sporting clays, and compact configurations, it ships with a set of interchangeable RemChoke-pattern chokes and a hand-oiled checkered walnut stock for hunting and clay-target use.

The Charles Daly name dates to a 19th-century New York importer renowned for high-grade Prussian-made shotguns; the modern brand applies the heritage name to imported over/under and field shotguns such as the 214E.
