They are decent enough. Used to be able to pick them up for about $225, they seem to be at least $100 more than that now, sometimes even more. If your paying $350 for one, IMO your better off going with a Maverick 88. They will stand up to more abuse, last longer, and have better access to parts, factory or aftermarket.

Better off buying a used 870 or 500/590 or any number of other non Turkish shotguns, at least you’ll have oem/aftermarket parts options if anything breaks.
Life’s to short to own a cheap Turkish shotgun.

You can still get a Mav88 for $299 or less on sale. At that price I see no reason to buy a Turkish pump gun - and I own a Turkish single shot, semi auto, and handgun so it's not simply because it's Turkish.

I bought the regulator and had an issue after the 9th shot. The action jammed up. I emailed the company and told them I did not fill out a Warrenty card and didn't keep the receipt. They emailed me a return label and had my gun repaired and back to me in less than a week. It's been flawless since. It is tighter than any of my mossbergs meaning less rattle and less play. They're no Beretta or Ithaca but I'd take it over a 870 express anyday.
For the record 2 outta 3 mav88 guns I bought new had issues right out of the box. Luckily I had spare parts and fixed them myself
The prices have been climbing on the Turkish guns but I think that's a reflection of shipping costs being passed on to consumers
Several friends own and use Canuck pumps and they work perfectly and are much better finished than mossbergs.
My regulator spent 2 years under the seat of my truck in a cheap Amazon gun sock and still looks factory fresh. I doubt I could keep a Mossberg like that for a weekend without rust and pitting.
I got my regulator for $269.99 12.5" or 13" barrel with choke tubes and wood stocks. I find I grab it more than my mav88
