What in irunguns is going on here

[u/Eglitarian → u/NxvyTv]

Looks like turkey’s been smoking whatever was left in Keltec’s pipe while looking a famas.

[u/Lumindan → u/Eglitarian]

Okay but real talk, I love that there's still someone bringing in stuff to Canada, even if its Turkish junk.

Also no hate on keltec, they just let their engineers go buck wild. Top loading stripper for a handgun? Sure why not!

That kind of innovation is both cursed and blessed all at once.

[u/Dill_Pickle_Tears → u/Lumindan]

It at least gives more risk averse manufacturers the green light to stay in our market. Without Turkish manufacturers pushing the AD500, alcor, chimera, etc. it’s possible importers weren’t going to take the risk of pushing through the Carmel or Makasi.

At least that’s what would make sense.

[u/Iokua_CDN → u/Dill_Pickle_Tears]

Oh I believe this 100%

A couple semi auto Turkish guns gave others bravery to go forward with theirs. The fact the chimera and Alcor have been sitting untouched is awesome and definitely paced the way for the new 2.

Heck I'm tempted to save the money and just buy the Turkish 223 rifles. The things kodiak does with the Alcor looks amazing to me

[u/twistedhumoraffy → u/NxvyTv]

I
Actually got it true north arms

[u/Acceptable_Visit_115]

Is that fire from the ejection port lol

[u/mwmwmwmwmmdw → u/Acceptable_Visit_115]

its so left handed shooters get a little something special if they want to shoot it

[u/twistedhumoraffy → u/mwmwmwmwmmdw]

😂😂😂

[u/twistedhumoraffy → u/Acceptable_Visit_115]

lol I think
So

[u/Lumindan]

That top rail for a shotgun looks really uncomfortable.

I'm always wary of turkish offerings personally. Especially if the entire thing is polymer.

[u/twistedhumoraffy → u/Lumindan]

I’m still playing around with it let’s see how long it holds up

[u/HappyCan7250]

Saw these the other day for sale. LPC and Poly seem to particularly despise bullpups so I may just out of spite.

Either that or screw around with one of those 9" 410 revolvers for rats on the farm. Tough choice

[u/Iokua_CDN → u/HappyCan7250]

Those shortie 410s are terribly fun. Can't  say they are the most useful, the on the flip  side they certainly aren't the least useful either. 

1. Birdshot for small game and clays

2. Slugs and buckshot for larger animals 

3. Chamber adaptors to screw around and have fun

4. Revolver is easier to unload  and load compared to internal mags like shotguns  amd lever guns. Easier to unload for transport and such.

5. Super short compact size makes it more useful in every way. Compact  little gun for the farm, the hike, the camp,  the tractor, the truck. Even just going to the range and back, it's a great gun to throw in with the others

[u/Iokua_CDN]

Alright 

Missed my chance to get a Keltec RDB.. 

Kinda like the tube mag on this.....

Love  how compact  it is for a semi auto

[u/twistedhumoraffy → u/Iokua_CDN]

It’s a replacement for my FD12 hits the spot

[u/Iokua_CDN → u/twistedhumoraffy]

Good to know!! 

I'm kinda between this, and that axor fs elite folding semi that folds to just over 26 inches

Bullpup vs folding semi,  not sure which

Does  the hatsan have screw in Chokes???

[u/twistedhumoraffy → u/Iokua_CDN]

It does

[u/Glad_Impact_7532]

Getting really tired of the "80 rounds with no issues" posts. 

If you want to post Turkish guns good right out of the box, then post a 1k round review. And I'm sure we'd all love to see it. 

[u/Lumindan → u/Glad_Impact_7532]

The Canadian review special.

"Yeah I put like 3 boxes of PMC bronze into it, it's good to go"

I can see the other side of the coin though, burning 1k rounds ain't cheap for some folks.

[u/Glad_Impact_7532 → u/Lumindan]

Thats true but then don't bother posting the video. Takes money to make money. And people will want to see it,  guaranteed. That's the whole point of being a content creator. 

[u/twistedhumoraffy → u/Glad_Impact_7532]

I’m not going to blast 1k rounds in one session this was intended for out the box impression

Next review is the makasi after finally putting 1500 rounds through it

[u/Armedfist → u/twistedhumoraffy]

Do it man. People on cgn are poo poo ing on the makasi

[u/Lumindan → u/Glad_Impact_7532]

I think for a first impression it's not terrible.

It looks like op is gonna do a follow up so that should be more comprehensive hopefully, ideally with a teardown

[u/twistedhumoraffy → u/Lumindan]

Yes sir absolutely

[u/Forsaken_Edge_9184]

Just ordered one kinda looks like a BR from halo which I like

[u/twistedhumoraffy → u/Forsaken_Edge_9184]

It’s funny I just finished the halo remastered campaign on PS5 a few days before these hit the market. It was an instant purchase for me.lol

[u/BeerGunsMusicFood]

Thanks. I hate it.

[u/Ustauk]

Nice early testing initial thoughts review! Iwonder if the dependability so far is a combination of it being semi-automatic, so short short-stroking is not an issue, as noted by Honest Outlaw, and having a tube instead of a magazine makes it less ammo picky, as some mag-fed shotguns are picky on the level of brass on the shells.

[u/greasygreenbastard]

LOS POOPA À LA TURK 

[u/BulltacTV]

God damn thieves.. lol

[u/AnthoBMTH]

Dont buy this, biggest piece of shit i ever bought

[u/ItsaManatee → u/AnthoBMTH]

What was wrong with it? I'm honestly tempted to get one.

[u/AnthoBMTH → u/ItsaManatee]

Taking it apart was such a pain in the ass, everything is too tight, had to hammer it for 40 min. When i try putting it together, the screws didnt fit anymore, because again, too tight Feeding tube is stuck, only able to insert 2 shells, can't see what's wrong in it because no way to remove it or see inside. The top rail is inconfortable to shoot it. All i can say is, it can shoot, that's about it

[u/AnthoBMTH → u/AnthoBMTH]

If i could return it i would, but the hammering left some marks on it so...

[u/ItsaManatee → u/AnthoBMTH]

I appreciate the insight on yours. I may not get this then, if the 'PX' versions, without the carry handle top are the same. I'm a big bullpup fan, already have a KSG, and was considering some other semi auto 12ga, but didn't want to spend a bunch. This seemed like it fit my bill.

Turkish PAL holder here -

It’s so annoying to see that Turkish producers (most of them were not familiar to me) brought a bunch of junk to Canadian market, and made a bad name for themselves.

Hatsan is the one that I have always known, though. My first gun (air rifle) was from Hatsan, and they were very reputable in the domestic market. I really hope that they will bring high quality products to Canadian market, and keep up their reputation.

There are so many reputable firearms producers in Turkey - the best ones exclusively do government contracting, and the mediocre ones are selling their stuff as export. I hope this will change!
