Hello there,
I thought it might be a good idea to make a post just clearly dedicated to the review and opinions on the Uzkon BR99 and TR100 Semi Auto 12Ga models. From looking through posts on the forums there still seems to be a lot of questions on these shotguns. I would like owners of these shotguns to post any information and reviews that could help someone that may be interested in purchasing or even answer questions from someone that might already own these shotguns.
Now for my own little review. I just recently received my Uzkon TR100 CL-11 from NAS Guns and Ammo. This model came with a polymer carry case, 3 - 5 rounds magazines, choke case with three chokes and wrench, A2 style carry handle rear sight, front sight has fiber optic bead, adjustable stock with adjustable cheek riser and has a quad rail forearm up front and a flash hider up front to finish it off.
Here are a few pictures. Pictures really do not come close to the beauty of this gun.
I did get a few hours this weekend to go shoot around a little bit but the weather was rainy and cold, so I only got 50 rounds through her. I removed the sights it came with and put on a Bushnell TRS-32 RDS. For what I am doing it seemed like it would be an all around good choice. The dot itself is a 5 MOA, bit on the larger side but again were talking about a shotgun, not a rifle.
First 2 mags I just had winchester 2 3/4 - 7 1/2" shot. Out of the 10 rounds I had 1 failure to feed, the round was sitting still partially in the mag. I couldn't narrow it down to me (how the mag was loaded) or the gun but I have heard that the lighter shot especially in 2 3/4" has potential for miss feeds. Mixed in 2 mags of Federal 2 3/4" - 1oz Slugs after that, every round performed flawlessly. I had no miss feeds at all but for sure need to sight in the RDS when it gets nicer. Tried a couple more mags with the target shot and again had a few miss feeds. I'm not overly concerned with that though. I would like to try some 3" though it but haven't been able to find any in stock around me and its much more expensive then the 2 3/4" rounds.
All and all it feels like a very solid firearm. Every feature worked properly. I had no issue with the safety or charging handle, the bolt release performed excellent and the mag release nicely ejected the mags out, NO pulling required. The stocks recoil pad was very comfortable and with all the adjustments you can set it for what you find comfortable.
The only few things I have found with the shotgun that I don't overly like is:
1. I wish the hand grip was a little more grippy (is that a word?), right now its just molded polymer and fairly hard, but still a nice fit to your hand.
2. The sights that come with the gun could be improved. I wish the front sight in my case was mounted to the rail instead of clamped on the barrel(still not sure how you would take the gun apart and get that front sight back to exactly where it was), and I wish front and rear were made a little more durable. They are just polymer and plastic I wasn't convinced the rear carry handle securely mounted to what I would expect it should.
That's about it for now. As I continue to put rounds through it I will update. Moving forward I would like to maybe try some magpul flip sights and definitely a fore grip of some sort. See where it takes me. Anyways, feel free to add your own reviews and opinions or suggestions.
