Well - With such a short sight radius, it could easily be operator error. Even if the barrel is bent - the fact that it groups good should be considered. Putting a rear sight that corrects for the error would be an easy fix. You should bear in mind that most shotguns will not shoot slugs to point of aim using the front bead.
14" shotgun shoots slugs left
- Thread starter Lead hammer
- Start date
Anything is possible, but I can bore sight my rifle to be within 6 inches at 100 meters, I would like to think I can aim a shotgun at 25M. I am a decent shot with my Winchester when out shooting ducks and geese. (no vent rib)
This short shotgun does have a good sight picture and seems to line up well. I noticed my shoulder is kinda sore today from shooting 25 slugs yesterday trying to figure it out lol.
I am using this one for fun of course, but I am also using it when I go camping and ATV/ dirt biking with my family. Where we go does have Bear and Wolves. I would like to be able to aim naturally if I really needed to use it. With the birds head stock it fits in my ATV box or backpack.

The 14" Turkish 12 ga I have had a barrel that was badly skewed to the left. I got a replacement barrel and it is much better but not perfect.
Do all the Turkish gunmakers have a lazy left eye??

I don't have many, cheap guns, this is my only one. Of course I did not expect it to be super fancy, but I'm pretty sure it's based off the Weatherby pa-08, not too funky, can't be too hard to build these things lol. I would like a real nice pimped out 870 14" or a pimped out 14" 590 A1 eventually.

Ok, to update my post. First I would like to thank Corwin for the great customer service.
Second is the shotgun still shoots left, but not nearly as much. Tried Federal and Winchester. At 25 meters, I shot off my Rush 12 pack and got good groups but 6" left. I discovered that if I moved my alignment off of center ( the receiver lines ) the poi moved over enough to justify using a rear sight. I'm also thinking of removing the mag tube, then reinstalling it with torque to the right side. I think you need to apply heat to the tube where it goes into the receiver to get it off?? Then use blue loctite when installing it? If that does not work, maybe the XS express rear milled sight would be handy.

Haha, actually I wouldn't be surprised. A customer dropped off a Turkish shotgun with the right side of the barrel blown out like a cartoon. The barrel had an obvious left cant but I assumed that was from the blowout, maybe it was there all along...
