I heard the same about crappy Chinese guns too. Some people just automatically throw anything that is not American or European made into the garbage bin. I wouldn't mind having a Chinese AR over Crypto though.

My Dad bought a couple because he thought “they were a good deal”. I told him you get what you pay for and generally Turkish shotguns are not known for longevity or reliability.
Needless to say on his third outing with the O/U, the trigger mechanism failed catastrophically. The pump made it to about 250 rounds before the extractor broke. He ended up getting them repaired and selling them at a loss.
Don’t take my word for it though. Just ask James Reeves of TFB TV. Not a single Turkish shotgun he used survived a 500 round burn down. Spend your money how you like.
Yep, he got what he paid for. People want cheap stuff and expect for the best, unfortunately that's not how it works.
You'd rather it be made in Canada, cost two to three times as much and have quality control issues like the crypto?Just what we need, more overpriced Turkish garbage

Nope. I don’t buy cope Canadian made garbage eitherYou'd rather it be made in Canada, cost two to three times as much and have quality control issues like the crypto?
Had a solid giggle when I saw the price of this thing. There’s a much better way to burn $1500. Gasoline perhaps?

Buddy here claims he was getting around an inch and a half 3-5round groups with a couple different 55gr ammo types, and also says factory claims it's a 2moa rifle. He tired one 60gr load that the rifle did not like at all.
He also points out that the rifle comes with plates that can be used between the stock and receiver to set the cast and drop of the stock like on some shotguns.

Crypto prohib as of today.....
I didn't see any pictures of the groups which would have been nice, he did mention 3 different 55gr loads shooting 1.5moa or better, but he says most of them were only 3 rounds to keep the barrel cool and he says he shot a few 5 round groups.This is the same video I watched.
His groups were pathetic to say the least.......
Kind of a hunting accuracy test as opposed to longer strings. Pretty sure they were factory loads so likely there is room for improvement.
That's good enough for me.....

Holy ####! Glad I didn’t buy one. I’ll just clutch onto my lever actions even more now.
Need to vote! Lever are surely next; they will take anything resembling a military firearm. And you know cowboys were soldiers.

Only if designed after C-21. This was designed before.
Even something like an B&T SPC-223 was designed pre-ban, just not sold here.
But….the Crypto was designed post Ban so who knows why more.
