Turknelli test
- Thread starter Ganderite
- Start date
Watched this video what a piece of junk. Thank you for making me aware that this gun has more issues than what its worth. The one thing I learned about this video is buy a quality made firearm as it won't let you down when It comes to your life.
Mine started literally falling apart as I shot it. Everything right down to the mag tube would just loosen and present issues. A gun shouldn't need a bottle of red loctite to stay together. Absolute trash, I couldn't wait to ship it back. I'm grateful my bolt stayed in one piece though, that was an issue for some...

Friends don’t let friends own Turkish shotguns lol.
I love how disgusted he gets at it, sure didn’t take long.

I like and have had good luck with the folding single shots. Don't think I would test my luck with a repeater, especially a semi auto. But you look at vendor sites and all you can buy is Turkish stuff now. Nobody sells decent guns that are proven to work. The Turkish stuff isn't cheap anymore either. For $50 more you can get something that you can get parts for and has some engineering involved in it.
I always thought turkneli referred to every tactical M4-type Turkish knock-off. I didn't realize it was a specific model.
It's too bad they don't have access to Canucks state side. I'm currently over 500 rounds into mine without a single failure, have yet to clean it.
It has reliable fed everything from 7.5 target load to 00 Buck and Slugs. Well worth the $850 in my books vs the Benelli.

Did you watch the video? I didn't need it to tell me but they do mention that all those shotguns almost certainly come from the same source.
You can call it whatever, it's no different. You got a good gun which is great. Unfortunately the QC and just overall quality is so low many, many others can't say the same.
There have been many reports by people that import, sell, modify and promote "Turkenelli's" saying that they don't all come from the same place and that the quality varies.
It seems to me that most of the producers have issues and some don't, I'd guess James "aka" the turkish gun hater didn't bother to try and figure out who makes a good one and just went for it with semi predictable results.
I tried to buy 2 of these guns but returned both without firing a shot, first becuase the sights were canted off to one side a few degrees and the second because the picatinny rail was not in line with the bore which bothered me.
Both were bought through S&J and the second one was supposed to be by the best producer available and an improvement over the first batch they brought in.

The failure to eject on cheaper SG can more times than not be traced back to a unfinished chamber, (not honed/polished). This aids in extraction of a hot shell once it has fired and swollen. (it no longer has grooves to adhere too)
