There were some scary early semi-autos made in Turkey, but it seems like newer models are better made. This one is similar to the Benelli M2, so at least built on a good design. I am thinking about picking one up, but like to vet these things with those wise in the ways of the shotgun. Thanks in advance for the benefit of your experience with this gun or with the latest incarnation of Military Armament Corporation out of Knoxville.
