Agreed, there are dozens of Turkish gun makers popping up, merging and changing names all the time...When you buy a Turkish made gun make sure you buy it through a name brand like Weatherby, Mossberg, Savage, etc You stand a better chance of not getting screwed...Dont buy one through a "here today gone tomorrow importer". Importers dissappear and change brands all the time. You will get fucked if something goes wrong with it.Blue Frost wrote: ↑January 7th, 2021, 1:54 pm Turkish gun makers have a habit of changing names every three to four years so a warranty with most are useless.
Some stay around, but they are bigger names, and you pay for that.
Been looking at a few myself lately, bullpup shotguns, why because in close quarters shotguns rule.
My eyesight isn't good anymore so I need something I can shot, and take someone out in the dark.
I have a Bakel double barrel, and a Saiga with 20 round drums.
I wanted that 1100 Remington, but that didn't turn out to be.
Even Fabarm which is a highly respected Italian gun maker which about 20 years ago was imported by H&K but has since been dropped and picked up by a series of importers is a gamble....Their guns are great and of high quality but getting any kind of parts or warranty work on the old H&K imported guns is a nightmare.
As for the Rem 1100...You were probably saved a lot of aggravation not buying that clunker...For the past 10 years, just about anything coming out of Remington, before it went titts, up had quality control problems. They all but ruined Marlin with their cost cutting and their own brand name went down the shitter as well...It was an absolute tragedy for the shooting sports industry but that's what happens when you let corporate raiders and "bean counters" run gun companies.
