Agree with you 100%. I think today's computerized equipment did that and it really doesn't matter who runs it now
Like I said for what you pay they go bang which is all that is important really

I own an Axor Mf2 and so does one of my good friends - Its sweet, cycles everything have about 550 rounds down the tube - Slugs, buckshot, targetloads, cut shells... and haven't had one hiccup yet. Also very light on the shoulder which is always nice.
I also own an Adler arms lever 12ga and that thing eats everything and I found the fit and finish to be nice as well.

There has been some good feedback about Huglu recently. Im considering buying a sxs. Not much being offered with the features and build quality offered by Huglu at a similar price point
Thanks for all the feedback! So I can obviously buy Turkish without too much worry.... I've been eyeballing a few of these 'black' mag fed shotguns and wondering if it would be a waste of money. Pin one mag for hunting and leave the other for fun and games kinda thoughts....
Exactly. My uzkon in the pic up there was $499. That’s a lot of fun for your dollar!
Ps. Don’t pin the mags, they come apart without too much hassle, and you can just plug them with a chunk of wood or whatever. That way you aren’t wrecking them if you want to sell later.
Yes. For the purposes of hunting, your method of limiting how many shells fit in the magazine is allowed to be removable. If I'm not mistaken there are also 2rd magazines available for most of them.

I purchased a Huglu 202B last fall, it's the English stocked and double triggered model in .410 gauge. I only got a chance to put about 75 rounds through it on the sporting clays range and it did have a couple of issues, one is that the triggers were quite heavy, about 8 lbs. I fixed that problem with minimal effort but I also had to remove the stock and relieve the wood a bit on the inside of the wrist as the left barrel hammer was hanging up a bit on the wood. With those two issues rectified I'm anxiously awaiting a chance to get it to the range again but between the severe winter we've been having and work, range time has been non-existent lately.
Actually, it’s not. It’s technically illegal... in Ontario. See section 19 of the Ontario fish and wildlife act:
Note that it says “permanent”.
But there isn’t a pump shotgun under the sun that can’t have the plug removed. And the Fishcops aren’t out there kicking in cabin doors confiscating 870s. It’s also not worded so strictly in the annual summary either. So I go on my merry way with my plugged mags, knowing that if a CO decided to kick up a fuss about it, they’d have a rather embarrassing tale to tell about the 5000 other shotguns they let slip through the cracks.
Your mileage may vary.
NAS had them on sale last fall. I had to buy a $1.99 .22lr brass brush to hit the $500 mark and get free shipping

Thanks that was new to me..
I've owned lots of Turks. Some gems some lemons.
Corwin single shots always served me well, I've had 3 seperate models in the 3 popular gauges. I had a warrior lever that would not cycle without extreme force, traded it in for a semi auto asena that stopped working the second time I used it. Replace some parts and it functions flawlessly for literally 1000's of rounds, great gun, no break in necessary, hard to believe it was less than 400 bucks.
Corwin always seems to back their product at least, but don't expect a super high end firearm from Turkish manufacturers no matter what the fan boys say. Generally the fit and finish on the Corwin guns is VG, especially when you take the price into account. My recent 20 gauge has a gouge in it, but I know they will make it right and quickly from my past experience with them, more than you can say of some name brand manufacturers.
I had a mossberg side by side from Turkey. I liked the gun, I had always wanted a single trigger side by side with removable chokes. I shot it a whole bunch, I was really into sporting clays and rabbit hunting in those days. After around 800 rounds a piece of solder on the front of the top rib came out, it still functioned but I did not like that at all. I returned it to the warranty department (think it was Gagnon Sports? Don't quote me on that one) and it took almost 6 months to repair the thing, the store I purchased it from came through and gave me a new one after a while. Same problem after approx 100-200 rounds (one good day of clay busting). I was so pissed I could have spit, hawked it off at a local gunstore for much less than I paid for it. Left a sour taste in my mouth for sure.
If you buy Turkish do it from an honourable supplier like Corwin is the moral of the story I suppose. They're a good way for young guys like me to try a variety of actions, and honestly guns like the Asena and pa-08 clones are on par or well above the quality of domestically produced budget shotguns in my experience.

Do you have a definition of what that means?
Do you have a list of which vendors meet the definition?
I have a alpha arms sa01 semi auto and its my skeet gun. Works great , never jams, and very light. I also have the sa-15 mag fed semi auto. Once I found the recoil spring was too tight causing feed issues. I cut 2 coils off the spring and no more jams out of 250 rds of skeet load.
No... perhaps something was just lost in translation... with your use of the word “Honourable”.
If you had said “proven” suppliers, or “highly-rated” suppliers, it wouldn’t have caught my eye. But that “honourable” word (to me) speaks of something much deeper and personal than return policies or inventory selection.
No big deal. Carry on.
