Well. Here's the story from start to finish. I bought the shotgun from NAS Guns back around Easter. The gun came, and it wouldn't work. FTF, stovepipes, cycling issues. I tried all types and sizes of ammo, to no avail.
NAS arranged for me to send it in for warranty work at Trigger Wholesale in Waterloo. Trigger sent it back, first saying the gun was received with the bolt removed, which was not correct. They said they cleaned it and tested it. They indicated no problems. They didn't clean it, because after their supposed 15-round test, it was so dirty I had a hard time getting it apart. I sent it to them dirty to see what they would do. I took video of the malfunctions after I got it back. NAS and Trigger both ignored my emails and wouldn't return my phone calls.
So, Typhoon Industries in Turkey replied to my videos and put me in touch with Stuart Saunders in the UK. He's a competitive shooter and their UK tester. He offered a few suggestions. This includes machining a spacer to increase spring tension. I tried it, but had the same results. I showed him the videos again, and he suddenly indicated I had to deal with Trigger. Very abrupt.
They were supposed to send me a new recoil spring, but no one will get back to me. I won't hold my breath.
Take this as a warning. I certainly won't deal with NAS or Trigger again. I thought they would help, but when it came down to things, they dropped me like a hot potato. All I can tell you is don't buy from Typhoon. You will get no support. You won't get any help once they get your money. Buy a Derya Mark 12. I am screwed and have no further recourse, and I'm out a grand.
I've posted it in the EE in case anyone wants to buy a wall-hanger. Buyer beware. At least I still have my Benelli M4 - save your money, pay twice as much, and get an Italian piece of artwork that won't let you down.
An aside - my videos are on YouTube if you search for "Typhoon F12 shotgun". If anything, you get to see my handsome face. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.
Peace-out.
