I see there’s not a whole lot on these guns on here, so I figured I’d subject you all to my unsolicited opinions 
I picked up an Uzkon TR100 C2 from NAS for $499. It came with 3 five round mags, quad rail, breaching muzzle brake, foldable stock, removable sights/carry handle, and hard case. I also bought a 4” baller extension and full choke, as the muzzle brake models don’t come with chokes.
Unboxing was an event set to the sound track of my girlish giggles of delight. It’s certainly the most fun looking gun I’ve owned. I know. I’m sheltered. I was surprised with the initial appearance of quality. I’ve owned my share of bargain guns, and I had set the bar at “Norinco”, but it’s way north of that. The action was smooth. No sharp edges anywhere except for a few tiny burrs in the corners of the muzzle brake. I was surprised with how well the camo coating was applied. They even managed to cover every nook and cranny of the quad rail. I had read reviews that the pistol grip was too smooth and textureless, but they must have changed something along the way because this one is great. Plenty of grip and texture. One interesting little thing I was surprised they hadn’t mentioned online (anywhere I noticed) was that the front and rear sights had a rotating “dial-a-reticle” allowing you to switch between V sights, Post sights, peep sights, and... I’m gonna call it hollow-torpedo-thingy sights. They’re fully adjustable by the way.
I picked up an assortment of slugs to try. All 2 3/4.
Winchester Super X
Imperial
Kent Cartridge
Challenger
As well as a variety of shot shells, including 7 1/2, 6, 5, 4, 2, and 00.
I didn’t clean or lube anything. I just took it from the box to the range. I started with slugs to break it in. The hardest part was loading the mags. The rounds catch on the previous round’s brass, and you’ve gotta hold your tongue just right to get them in there. It was pouring rain and 5deg the whole time, so frozen fingers didn’t help matters. I had one failure to feed in each of the first 2 mags, but I think that had more to do with me getting the hang of loading the mags and avoiding rim lock. Those were the only two failures for the day.
The sights as delivered were way high. In fact I had to bottom out their travel to zero at 25 yards with slugs. Recoil was light (for a guy used to shooting pump) the Kent’s grouped best, followed closely by the Challengers. Winchester grouped noticeably worse, and imperial were worse yet. Mind you this is with open sights, standing, with the fore stock resting against the side of a tree.
After about 80 Slugs down the pipe, I switched to shot. With the muzzle brake out front, the spread was pretty huge. #5 spread about 26 inches at 25 yards. Switching to the full choke shrunk that in to about 8 inches. I tried a bunch of mag dumps with the light 7 1/2 target loads to see if I could get it to jam. I went as fast as my frozen fingers would let me. Fast enough that I was able to get the 3rd round off before the first and second empties hit the ground... still no jam. I even loaded a mag with a slug and one of almost everything. Dumped as fast as I could - no jams. I’m not enough of a shotgunner to know if that’s impressive or not, but it seems pretty good for an out of the box $500 gun.
All in all, I’m a very happy customer. Probably the best bang for the buck I’ve had yet.
I’ve probably forgotten to mention some things. Any questions about the tr100 and I’ll do my best to answer.
