New Pardus M16 style NR mag fed shotgun, anyone know about it?

[gyppo]

I was at Wholesale Sports in N Edmonton yesterday and saw 3 of these on the shelf. Non-restricted, semi-auto, magazine-fed shotguns with pistol grip adjustable stock, made by Pardus - not even on their website. The guy at the counter said they had just arrived, and were new to the Canadian market. They have a fixed choke and removable flash hider, heat shield on the barrel, M16 style carry handle and sights. The price was very steep at $1160 at which I didn't even think about it, but I was wondering if anyone knows anything about these. I thought they were pretty unique, there really isn't anythign like it on the market. The receiver even looked like it was specific to that firearm, all metal, it wasn't a regular semi-auto shotty with a different butt stock and a mag.

Yes, that's what he said. "Just arrived, not even on their website".

On their website they have some models that look just like the ARMED shotguns Westrifle sells. Made in Turkey. $1160 is ridiculous, I wouldn't touch one with a ten foot pole.

Sounds from the description like the USAS-12 made jointly between interod corp in the US and Daewoo industries of Korea. Would love to see a pick to confirm or deny this hunch.

No.^^ Thats not it.

I looks like it has a upper and lower reciever like a modern semi auto. It has a shorter "mag" tube ( I have no idea whats in it) but it has a mag well and a detachable magazine. It looks pretty dam cool. Its too bad we cant find a pick.

I had a look at this today and it didn't look to bad. My only issue was they don't have extra mags for it ;and I'm not sure management had even looked into it yet from the talk behind the counter. I looked on line and couldnt find a review anywhere or any photos. one thing i like is the mag is an AK style .I didn't buy one of these but I did end up taking home a Paradus short single shot 12 guage.

Anyone seen these at the Calgary wholesale? I'd go by and photograph them tonight if they were there!

I saw one on Friday night at Wholesale in Deerfoot Meadows... I was thinking 'what the hell is THAT!'.. didn't fondle it as I was looking at a different shotgun.

It's on the far left wall at the back counter, right near the end of the shotguns...

Like this maybe?

 

[zeuce]

When I was looking at this gun, the only thing that went through my mind is why oh why can't it take grizzly mags.
