So I recently picked up a Sulun Tac 12 and when I took it out for some fun I noticed that the shot was patterning a few inches toward the right at just 20 yards using Target loads, some buckshot and slugs. Upon closer examination of the sights, it looks like the rear sight holes are drilled too far to the right of the receiver, causing the sight to also sit too far right. The front sight doesn't look as bad but there may be a slight cant to the left and twist to the right. The front sight casting also has a strange bow on the right side.

I saw some of SJ hardware's posts about the sight being an issue on some of the guns but I didn't buy this one from them. Is Trigger Wholesale the distributor? Has anyone got their shotgun repaired or replaced for the sights? The receiver isn't something that can be fixed by the looks of it.

Or do I get what I pay for and should have gotten a Benelli lol??

Receiver is about 1.45 decimal inches wide
 
It comes with an adjustable rear sight for that exact same reason.

My rem 870 comes factory with ghost ring sight, and my rear is 2/3 to the left for it to pattern center mass ish at 10m.

Just an update. I finally got it sent out to TWI for repair. Had to pay to mail it in though.

Based on my experience getting support from the retailer for this shotgun, I'm surprised they didn't tell you to mail it back to Turkey.

I had to go through the distributor as the retailer I bought from literally knew nothing about this gun and didn't provide a manual. Found the distributors number on their Facebook page. When I called it was a weekend and it turns out it was the owners personal cell phone. Boy was he unhappy with me.

Can't say I'd recommend buying this shotgun to anyone as a result. If you want an M4 clone I'd say buy the Canuck Defender or another brand name where the distributor actually provides some kind of support for their product.
 
Quality control is poor in Turkey and non existent here in Canada.
It cost me around $50 to learn the lesson and get my money back minus the educational shipping fee.
 
Why do I feel I have heard this story before lol. Apart from the sights and some rough machining in the gas tubes, I guess you can call them that, its a decent shotgun so I didn't return it.

I would only recommend it to someone if they look at one in store first. I might have been able to catch this if I didn't order online. What was the problem with yours?

No owners manual, inexperience with choke tube labelling, takedown procedure etc.

Also had an issue with the extractor, needed to do a DIY fix with a file to straighten out an edge that was too round and caused constant jams

Bigger problem though is the all around lack of support or literature for the gun.
