Anyone hear of it or have it?
IRUNGUNS.com has it for not a bad price
Looks nice and the white engraving on a black reciever gives it a good touch
 
I can see how the hammers dont look physically appealing. I bet it's better quality and machining than a norinco and a little more expensive than a stoeger, but the stoeger doesnt have external hammers

Why would you bet that? It looks like a crappy Turkish built shotgun. Its definitely not made in America.

Those hammers, besides being ugly, also look very flimsy. It doesnt look well built at all to be honest.
 
There sure are a lot of goofy guns out there these days. Not much good for anything but dressing up and fondling.

I'm thinking that Playstation had a lot to do with this trend.

A farm kid ya, just shows up and wins he was going to use his Cooey single shot 28ga but wanted to shoot the same gun for the whole event singles and doubles.
 
Not to interrupt the A-gun anecdotes by the trap shooters (hilarious btw), but I had a look at the specs following the initial post as had not heard of American Tactical Road Agent.
There are a couple reasons why I would discourage someone from getting this made in Turkey gun - and not slamming Turkish guns because hey, the market wants cheap. Blame the market, blame ourselves.

Ok, aside from the preferences people have wrt to style, looks, quality, and barrel length, here would be my concerns about its design:

- gun has aluminum receiver and weighs 5 lbs 3 oz. You better hang on tight if shooting the 3" shells its chambered for. Recoil is going to be "sharp"
- there is no safety although usually this is not a big deal for hammer guns. They're safe until you #### them.
-it has auto-#### meaning you put your hulls in, close the gun, and the hammers #### on their own (did I mention it has no safety?)

I didn't look too hard online but am I correct in that no safety auto-#### thing?
 
If you are correct about that, its a serious flaw in my mind. Hard to imagine they would allow such a gun to be manufactured that way. I heard one of the reasons why Turkish guns typically have a heavier trigger pull was because the minimum specifications set on the manufacturers is high. If thats the case, how can the manufacturers be forced to use heavier trigger pulls but allow an auto-cocking hammergun with no safety?!?
 
Then I read another review that says no tang safety but hammers lock automatically on closing and you take it off safety with the cocking/decocking levers under each hammer. Kind of different approach. Sorry to malign the design earlier.
