I just can't seem to find the thread where these were talked about for $150.
Anyways. I picked one up then because even a single shot is hard to find at $150 ($162 otd).
I took it apart before I did anything and really, there is nothing horrible to speak of as far as fit and finish. The "piston" was fully square edged and the barrel itself had one edge where it mates into the receiver with a huge burr that they had clearly beaten the barrel into place and gouged the receiver badly. But I've honestly gotten Rugers with significantly worse machining marks than this thing.
So a few minutes with a file and I lubed it and put it back together.
She runs like a scalded dog with some #4 steel shot steel 3" stuff at 1450fps I accidentally bought earlier in the year. After 50 rounds I no longer call it a mistake that I have them lol.
With cheap #8 clay shot at 1145fps, it stove pipes every round.
But so far. If you see one of these Turkish imports under $200 and have a stash of hotter loads. BUY ONE. A fully functional semi auto shotty for that cheap that just needs hot loads? Score!
The only issues besides hating cheap clay loads is the fcg pin walks out. No biggie. I peened it in place lightly.
The other issue I am not sure how to solve is the choke shoots itself loose inside of 10 rounds. I can snug it up by hand or I have also used the include wrench to tighten until something in the stock popped. It's loose shortly after.
Short of peening or locktighting it in place, anyone have any suggestions on that? It would be nice to change chokes I guess but I wouldn't cry if I had to pick one and make it forever.
