those lower priced turkish shotgun clones of the much more expensive brands

[Grumpy]

if your into shotguns you're probably aware that there's much cheaper shotgun clones made,
of the much more expensive berretta, mossberg, remington, etc. shotguns that look like duplicates,
testing has shown, that so far that many of the clones are much less than reliable,
materials and parts durability are far less durable
think carefully, your life might depend on a shotgun not failing to function.
do you really trust a shotgun that has as many flaws as these imported clones?

here's a test on a dirt cheap chinese pump shotgun clone of a winchester 1200 12 ga shotgun (under $140)

I think things would have gone better , on this durability test...if the shotgun was carefully, prelubed and re-lubed every 100 shells shot or something similar
what I'm basically saying is he found the gun was "JUNK" but to be fair it still functioned at the end of the test, and I think some of the issues would be eliminated with careful and repeated lubrication after every 50-100 cartridges., something that sure helps on any shotgun or any firearm.
you might be amazed at what a good & repeated at frequent intervals, soak on the moving parts in MOLY lube spray does to help durability ON ANY FIREARM
(I'm not a big supporter or promoter of turkish or chinese firearms (but I DO like many, but not all, italian and german firearms) so I can't just say, avoid "IMPORTS" especially because some American made firearms are "JUNK"

maybe It just ME, but to my way of thinking, not cleaning and lubing a firearm before use and typically after use,
or after every 100 shots or so, during the break-in..and being amazed that it did not function properly,
is about like testing a new car engine without oil in the engine, and expecting no problems

you know there is always a balance to be found between quality and price,
flawless durability is rarely found in dirt cheap machinery or weapons,
better quality materials and more precise machine work increase the cost of manufacturing
yes you tend to get what you pay for..
I learned that long ago,
“Quality is like buying oats. If you want nice, clean, fresh oats, you must pay a fair price.
However, if you can be satisfied with oats that have already been through the horse ...
that comes a little cheaper.”
