Bought this the other day at the LGS. Made in Turkey. It had something I've not seen before, a return spring for the fore end. You can see it in the third pic. I kind of like it. Yank the fore end back, eject the empty and let go. The fore end chambers the round by itself. Anybody have any experience with these guns, or Turkish shotguns in general?
I will say, up front, that I know less about shotguns than a dead person. I only own two and I never shoot the one that isn't broken. I live in the country, however, and a good shotgun is almost a necessity. I think I got a good one.
When I bought the gun the very honest person selling it to me said that it may require some "breaking in" before it functioned reliably. It didn't. I have cycled (not fired) a couple of hundred shells through the thing with nary a bobble. Ran a box through it this morning. Smooth as butter. Kicks like a mule, but hey!, you expect that with a fairly light 12 gauge shotgun!
I'm pretty pleased with the thing. $289 bucks.
