Wow what a string of posts! I see in other threads you have already purchased a shotgun. However I thought you should know about True North Arms. They have some semi 12ga and 20ga built in Turkey, and then Q.A. them in Canada.

I personally have the VR-66 Barebones 12ga, its fantastic and fantasticly cheap. With a legal mag tube extension it can hold 7+1 because it has a 3.5" chamber.

But if i could do it again I would buy the VR-66 Max 12ga, it has all the bells and whistles.

This came at the right time. I’ve been looking at a semi-auto shotgun with interchangeable chokes for the last few days. I’m between getting a Beretta 1301 or an M4 Panzer Speed Pro Tac.

I know the Beretta is good quality, but price-wise, the Panzer looks like a good deal, and I’ve mostly seen good reviews out there.

I’ll take a look at the VR-66 MAX. Thank you.

I may suggest getting a surplus gun also, INTERSURPLUS has tons of amazing old stuff. Often in good shape and with original iron sights still attached. I bought an old Swedish Mauser style Husqvarna in 30-06 with a custom trigger for $580 after tax and shipping. They also have double barrel shotguns if you need one of those.
