Just unboxed it and got the Turkish gunsmith special

I don’t blame TI, I’m going to see if I can get a discount. Not really acceptable for a brand new gun.

If it affects function I think I’ll request a new one, it’s a failure point

We were the architects for this entire endeavor. US Distributors work on a net 90, where manufacturers have to front the inventory and then wait for payment. We fronted the full development costs in 2024 and despite all of the hardships with the bans and nearly going under, would not let this thing out until it was right. The original design had a plastic heatshield and different handguard, was hideous. We saw the potential, took that and made it into what it was today. The gen 1 seen above was someone at Sulun deciding to start production before we finalized the design, and we flatly refused to accept for all of the obvious reasons. It should also be noted that our MSRP is significantly lower then those selling in the USA...

T.I. stated they "would not let this thing out until it was right" and they willingly shipped out these firearms in the absolute garbage tier condition that has been documented across many examples.

This shipment should have been rejected upon inspection but profits over principles has been made very clear by the actions already taken.

T.I. has some serious explaining to do....

Agreed, you can't just throw a shell in the yap and have the action get it into the chamber, I had to place shells directly into the chamber then close the action to get that extra round.

However, no tube feeding issues or double feeds so far at all.

Did you have that issue when holding it sideways or upside down? Mine worked reliable by just tossing her in and clicking the button to slam it in.

I’m not upset, it’s got a lifetime warranty, just some extra hassle, small price to pay to keep the industry alive.

Ya this QC on this is garbage, TI is probably swamped right now.

After seeing the absolute mess that is the SG-12, gotta admit i'm getting nervous about my TR-45 Micro

 

[Karnage]

I'll buy one of the returns as I missed the shipment. I'll add a few more deep scratches and call it SPAS Jurassic Edition.
Boom. Done.

Everyone continues to buy turkish slop expecting it to be good. What's the definition of insanity?

Probably because that all we can get recently. Stupid times.

Exactly, and with this gun - “Beggars can't be choosers“ surely applies.

You can choose better! An A300 Patrol is only $600 more! A 1301 mod2 is only $800 more! An M2 G1 is only $900 more!

If you shop on GP and our shotgun exchange you can get all of those several hundred dollars cheaper.

Surely, we can save up for something that isn't in worn condition right out of the box?
