Semi auto shotguns from Turkey.

Post by Blind Hawg »

Just got a G Force GF1 12 ga semi auto. Youtubers experienced lots stove pipes. Mfr suggested 1300 FPS min. ammo to work right. Some say 100 rounds to Break in. Only one round hung up coming out of the mag tube. After that it fed, fired and ejected run thru it, including buckshot and 2 oz turkey loads. Those 2 oz loads loosened a few tooth fillings! Nice piece after all, especially for 199.00.

The semis tend to shoot softer than the old skool pumps.
I've never gotten around to picking a semi up although I really was impressed with the Mossberg 930s.
$200 is a pretty nice price point if it breaks in reliable.

I have a Hatsan Escort 12g magnum. Had it for about 10 years, never missed a shot and it cycles everything I put through it. Came with 5 chokes.

I’ve been very impressed with the Turkish firearms that I’ve seen.

I go for 16 GA. My only semi is a Savage 775A, which is a Browning long recoil clone (only without the humpy back). Factory Savage Super Choke with compensator. Runs like a watch and points like The Finger of Doom. Recoil on gas operated semis might be mild, but sure as heck not on St. Browning’s spawn.

It's a 16g, it can't be THAT bad.

Hey Blind Hawg. I've been thinking on getting a Rem 1100 (12 ga) but the prices they (?) want are way up there. Your Turkish semi-auto sounds pretty good as an alternative (more realistic pricing).
Can you give a quality update once you break it in? Your opinion on it may help with my decision.
