ATA Etro Shotgun - Mini Review

I've been eyeing these mini shotguns for a while now, they look like they'd be a hoot to plink with. Thank you for posting the mini-review!

Yup, looks like a typical Turkish tactical shotgun flooding the market since Hatsan convinced everyone these guns sell well, and have been standing up to regular.
I've found Hatsans to still be the best of the bunch, even though they are all related, design wise.

What makes the Hatsan's better than the other Turkish shotguns? Fit and finish, durability? I've seen some really cool looking Hatsan's with heat shield's online, but haven't seen them at Canadian retailers. And Does anyone worry about replacement parts for the Turkish guns?

No - mine is the 14 1/2" barrel version that has a non-restricted FRT with the pistol grip, even though the overall length is only 24 1/8" - there is another thread on this: http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/1311550-Non-Resticted-(-)-ATA-Etro-8-Shotgun-shortie
I switched stocks so that my shotgun is non-restricted even with the shoulder stock removed (since the o/a length is the same as with the original pistol grip) unlike the Uzkon AS41 (w/ 14" barrel) which is restricted with the shoulder stock removed.

Here is how the shotgun arrived from the factory, you can see the FRT report that the dealer sent with the shotgun at my request in the picture:

Just when I was starting to understand the whole restricted vs non-restricted stuff lol. Now, if someone could make one of these with a birds head pistol grip .... As I understand, they are supposed to be more comfortable to shoot.

If you use out hastan/uzkon magpul adaptor plate u xan use the Remington birds head grip
Bbb
 
Looks great! How is it to shoot with the birds head grip?
I found my Etro 8 very hard to shoot with just the pistol grip. I just took it to the range yesterday with the new stock - much easier to hit the target and fire multiple shots.
