My Huglu 201A Case Hardened Side by Side has been working great. It’s been rock solid so far although it hasn’t seen a ton of use, maybe 250 to 300 shells through it, mostly Winchester AA or bulk pack, and a hand full of 1 ounce slugs and 00 Buck.

Had a few Turkish shotguns to date.

Dagger SAP6, pure junk
Hatsan pump, worked excellent.
Derya MK12, worked excellent.
Sulun Tac 12 (Turknelli) issues with it but the dealer was the bigger problem.
 
I have a Pardus pump 12g in camo for hunting. So far shot ducks, geese, and rabbits with it, in addition to practicing at the range for trap & 5-stand. Well worth what I paid a few years ago.
 
Have a:

Steven's 555, 600 rounds no problem at all
Weatherby SA-08, 400 rounds no problem
Armsan 620, 70 rounds, POS
Canuck Defender, 300 rounds no problem
 
Weatherby 20 gauge was good - plastic but runs well so far with about 1000 rounds; Churchill (Akar) .410 Sxs at 3 times the price of the Weatherby but way more pretty with wonderful finish, jammed closed first time out. Has been OK since.
 
Well own a khan tristar setter ou thats a total peice of $h1t. Nice bluing though. Everything else has failed or fallen apart
Had a sinsanati single. Desite the heavy trigger it was a nice gun. Im not into folders so i donated it to a charity event.
Had an asena zr7rc. Great gun. Although the bolt lock did break the parts were sent for free to fix it from corwin arms. Great company.
Bought a canuck defender. Lasted 9 rounds and needed warrenty from odell. Got it back in a decent enough turnaround. Its been fine since
Bought a frx from fedarms. I got to admit i really like the thing. The forearm is way to big and slick but i love the thing. Its functioned perfectly so far
I recently bought a dickinson arms 12 g ou and its amazing. Extremely well done gun and shoots amazingly
Lastly i bought a huglu 200ac 410 sxs and it is extremely well finished. Havent shot it yet but i bought it for my daughter to learn on. And ill likely order another as im so impressed with the fit and finish

Theres turkish crap and then theres good turkish quality. There in lays alot inbetween. Ive 1 had junk gun. 1 gun that needed an adjustment but it was a $300 gun. Ive had some other cheap ones that performed well again under $400 to my door for the semi and just over $200 for the pump
The huglu is much much better built but it cost nearly $1600.
Judging a country on their supply of firearms is hard when most are cheap but other are incredibly well made guns costly in 6 or 7 thousand dollar range
 
Huglu o/u Trap model
Has a couple handling marks,nothing i can't live with.Could have been dealer or manufacturer.
Action is stiff,but only 300 rounds fired.
It shoots well for me as a novice trap shooter,I can actually hit a respectable number of clays
 
The Hatsan MPA was very good. Functioned very reliably with only a couple stoppages using cheaper target loads. Challenger target always worked flawlessly though. The only issue was that the front sight broke and the rear sight adjustment screw was make of playdough and stripped easily. Both issues were solved under warranty.

So... are you going to name the guns you are talking about?

It told me to avoid these pieces of garbage till the end of my days.Turkey is great at invading other countries but terrible at making guns.At least they are smart enough to avoid their own guns and buy AK's.
 
Yildex O/U 410, I don't shoot it much. Bought it on line from Prophet River, so never tried it before purchase. It's a nice gun, but the stock is a little high for me, as I see too much rib when shooting. Kind of reminds me of the beretta's I own, not my kind of fit. Every Browning I own fit's, straight stock or monte carlo. just how it is.
