Like the title says, has anyone bought one of the Uzkon BR-99 semi auto shotguns? It does look awesome, but I refuse to be a guineau pig.

mag fed shotguns are notorious for feed problems look at the LA-K12 PUMA or the DA Grizzly and you have your answer...........I do admit this thing looks awesome just wish we could get a mag fed shotgun with no issues.......maybe this is the one?
 
Gotta wonder why this eneded up non restricted but the mka 1919 was classified restricted. I wish we could hold those d-bags at the lab accountable

As of December 24 the frt wasn't published yet.

Edit: and it still isn't published today.

As with any gun going through an frt exam, as soon as it arrives at the lab it is assigned an frt number. Trigger Wholesale has this number. Problem is, that doesn't mean the gun has finished being examined, or that the classification has been determined by the lab. It just means it has a number.

When the lab is finished their assessment, they publish the frt entry.

Trigger Wholesale posted on their Facebook page in earlier December that the frt was granted as Non restricted. When asked on December 24 why there wasn't an frt published, they cited the Christmas shut down. A three week shut down of the lab? For Christmas?

While dealers have said they have these in stock and are ready to receive orders, cgn members have posted questions asking why their credit cards have not processed the transaction, and why they have yet to receive shipping notices.

A lack of a published frt could be the reason for such issues.

I'm saying they don't get three weeks over Christmas. That is the point. I'm questioning the authenticity of Trigger Wholesales claim that the gun has been deemed non restricted given that the rcmp hasn't yet published the frt entry.

He is saying that they have been approved as non restricted, but that the entry hasn't been published since the lab is on Christmas break. Since trigger wholesale has been publicly saying the lab deemed these non restricted since December 9 on Facebook, that would mean the lab would have at least know on that date if not before if it was in fact non restricted.

If that is the case, why wait to publish the frt entry? Cbsa won't import without a published frt entry, and they look at the same published frt data as everyone else. They don't have a special view to what is yet to be published.

Also, the br99 accepts akdal 1919 magazines. You know, that one the lab decided was an ar15 variant restricted shotgun. I wonder how much else of the gun is comparable with the akdal 1919.

Trigger Wholesale posted on FB that the BR99 was deemed restricted by the lab, and that the lab changed its mind.

Yet again, no change to the akdal frt entry and no uzkon frt for any type of their shotguns, pump or otherwise.

And no uzkon shotguns have shipped, but "are in stock".

Seems odd doesn't it

watching that video, which doesnt give alot of info.... with the ruling on the 1919 being restricted it would follow the br99 will follow.

even though there is a huge legal fight if they wanted saying it is not an ar15 derivitive..... only time will tell and hopefully they swing it so the 1919 becomes non restricted.

A few Updates for Dealers & Consumers!
Canpar & UPS are open today so we are resuming shipping immediately and playing some catch up!
-AS46, Short-Barrelled Pum...ps, Single Shots, Full Size Pump & Semi and a few new products as well are all available.
TWI, Uzkon & the RCMP:
As TWI receives new products into Canada, we conduct a series of tests on all incoming products.
During our diligence with the AS46 we identified an issue (not performance related) that has an impact to competitive products in Canada.
It is our legal and moral obligation to report such findings to the RCMP in the interest of public safety. We met those obligations immediately.
We will not comment on the impact to competitive products as that is not our job. What we can say is that the BR99 series guns will have a shipping delay of about 1 week but AS46 and all other models can ship today.
All of the new models (BR99, TR100) arriving in the next 10 days will have the proprietary modifications and there will be no more delays going forward.
I want to thank the TWI staff, the RCMP FRT Technicians (ML) and the ownership and engineers of Uzkon for reacting swiftly to a previously unidentified issue that is market specific to Canada.
We apologize for any inconvenience to our Dealers & their Customers. With several of these firearms being new to Canada, we must ensure that all technical attributes of these articles are 'as described' and that they meet the FRT guidelines for legal classification in Canada. We will provide an update as these goods ship

so in short, for our clients it means we will have a to wait for a few days before we can ship them out, yes we do have them in stock we are just waiting on the parts
FYI, they are still non restricted, this has no issue with that.

Just read update on their Facebook page... It's a magazine issue that requires them to modify the semi auto to accept a proprietary magazine so shipping is delayed while they modify the 600 plus shotguns they have in inventory.....

Hello Dean, While I appreciate your interest in our products, we will not making comments on competitive products. The issue is more complex, but the simplified version is: AS46 Magazine works in some competitive products. To avoid potential issues due to the availability of the AS46 magazines from multiple vendors in Turkey, we have decided to change all BR99 over to a proprietary magazine and catch system that no other gun is using. We already have our approvals in place and we brought the solution to the RCMP and made the decision to make the changes ourselves. The delay is due to the fact that we have 600+ BR99 to convert. Hope that answers your questions.

the issues really is our gun laws , and that is what we should be focusing on, that and a better working agreement with people in the gun biz, but I think we are more likely to see the bloc come to power then that happening from what I have seen this last few weeks.

Soooooo.....because some other guns magazine works in this one that's the reason for the delay? I don't get it, wouldn't they all be pinned to 5 rounds anyways? What the #### is the difference.
 
Bla Bla Bla. All I'm really hearing is that the distributor isn't shipping product because of some condition the lab has imposed. I was not going to buy and AR-looking 12 gauge anyhow, but if anyone IS going to, it might be worth waiting for confirmation the distributor IS shipping product. They legally can't until the RCMP firearms lab makes a determination. From experience, that isn't always a "one week delay". My personal record on getting a lab determination is 5 (and change) years.

But what the heck do I know? I'm 3 double scotch on the rocks into my Tuesday evening :)

Also eagerly waiting waiting for update but realistically going to wait for others to take e the plunge
Unlike moss berg or remington, how wide is the dealer network for these since while they might be from one factory, they all have different mags and other critical parts
How many people want to be locked to a single reseller for support and for each gun?
