Armed guns Turkey. Single barrel, break action, 12in barrel. 3in shell shotgun

[PECHENEG]

Just got it, took me some time to figure out how breaking mechanism works. It is a bit strange
No safety.
Regular front/back sights, not adjustable
External hammer
Trigger has minimal travel
Butt stock is hollow and may accommodate SHTF kits
Pins that hold trigger/hammer are quite loose
Has three chokes with a key

Overall, quite cheap, will see if it holds 2 3/4 slugs and how inserts are performing
Good thing-very light weight...bad thing-it may be cheap steel or worse some sort of alloy

I prefer the model I used to have where the gun broke down into three separate pieces instead of the hinge. I find the hinge creates an awkward triangular shape which is more difficult to pack.

totally, except, this triangle is quite a bit faster to engage
I have JW2000, which is super compact, robust and side-by-side, when assembled, I like it, but it is so much heavier because of solid wood in the butt
so each has advantages, but this Turkish one, is a bit cheap and less robust than JW2000

I yet have to try Chiappa 7.5in inserts in both.

I had one of these and the action was loosened to the point a playing card could slide between the barrel and face after only a few boxes of slugs and buckshot. Hope yours is better made

that's sad.
the barrel is solid, but the receiver is really soft metal.

anyone knows similar concept, that folds like this (single or double barrel), but better metal quality????

I had a sinsanati folder from corwin arms. It was wood stocked and much better quality. The trigger was heavy but theres ways to reduce it. I used it fairly regularly for 6 months or so and it showed no wear. I liked it for what it was but im not a fan of folders and i donated it to a charity raffle where it was won by a young shooter. Its been his trap gun for a couple years now. Still tight

Ive read and heard good things about the huglus that propfet river has. They come in several finishes but i havent owned one but im sure if you called clay he would give you an honest opinion. I believe huglu is one of the better built turkish brands from the guns i have shot those all being double guns
Beretta at one time made a folder as

I have a Sinisinatti and a Khan 410, both super cheap single shot 410's. Sinisinatti has an alloy receiver with a little threaded steel insert just slightly bigger then the cartridge head for support. The Khan is all steel. Neither is a quality piece, but the alloy Sinisinatti is lighter. I would suspect the all steel Khan will last a little longer. Both have brutal triggers, but they go bang.

I wonder if these are all made by one company and rebranded? Anyone know? Mine is very similar, but branded Lazer Arms. They don't really need a separate safety, as they have a rebounding hammer. Got mine in 20 gauge in wood, with chromed receiver. Probably not going to put thousands of shells through it, but I hope they hold up. Mine's mainly a "rambling gun". Seems fairly well made, and locks up tight.

I have a Beretta like this. Folds in half, 12 gauge, excellent quality, fit and finish. It is a Beretta, after all. I believe its called the FS-1. You see them from time to time on the EE dirt cheap Its what the Turks copied. Poorly.
