Akkar Churchill 206 Orcap - High Select Walnut Oil Finish 12ga

[Grousing]

Basically inertia triggers are a single trigger that is reset to the second barrel by the recoil of firing off the first.
Some "higher end" shooters claim that when firing light loads there isn't enough of a jolt to set the second barrel and then they miss a shot.
I've shot more than a few thousand light loads and never had an issue with my beretta but apparently it's big business switching inertia triggers out for mechanical ones...
I would say if you're looking at this gun you probably aren't shooting at a level where you care by what mechanism your trigger resets .

Mechanical triggers are better for those who use the o/u or sxs for hunting like I do. It is not a matter of light loads not initiating the second barrel in my case. But if I spend 3 hours walking and then I flush a grouse, and then the shell in one barrel happens to be faulty and did not fire, I will watch my grouse fly away and will have to hope for another flush sometimes in the day

So I prefer mechanical triggers when it comes to hunting. One shell does not fire and I hear a TICK... I just shoot the other one...

So just to avoid these kind of situations...

Seems to me that you need a better dog and nice 16 gauge side by side.

Also I forgot to mention, there is a barrel selector.

Is the receiver , and other metal , really as bronze coloured as in the photos...or is that just what case hardening looks like ?

While I appreciate your sentiment, there are other outlets for political views.

Any more info on this shotgun?

RF

Yeah, what would you like to know?

[Mr. Friendly]

well, I'm curious about something.

very nice looking gun, but if it's got that iffy trigger, is there a mechanical upgrade for this model and is it worth doing or spending that difference on another make/model that comes with mechanical triggers already?

I don't think the trigger is iffy . Inertia triggers have never let me down.... I will concede as Grousing said if the first shell fails then you have to bump your stock to reset the trigger OR flick the barrel selector . That said, the one out of a few thousand shells that may fail probably isn't going to ruin your life. It's a nice gun and the reviews are great but everyone has preferences. I've shot both types of triggers and never had an issue with either.

I have no dog and I had a Yildiz 20g sxs that I traded with an o / u because did not fit me well

[Grousing]

Now if I can guarantee to have the wood like the one of this ad photo, I will certainly order one

My understanding is that it is not case hardening at all. Rather, it is a proprietary protective finish.

I think you are right. Close inspection of the metal in the close up photos does not show that is is case hardening. Looks like a coat of finish... Could be mistaken though
