Guaranteed foc has Labour Day sale this weekend so if you wanna risk waiting a few days probably save 10-15%

I actually have heard some decent things about this one. Probably gonna pick one up eventually but I need a bigger safe lmao

u/conanap 15d ago
no kidding; my 12 gun safe fit like 8 guns and it's full lmao

u/Iokua_CDN 15d ago
My biggest sense of pride in gun ownership is that I got my 12 gun safe so far tracking to actually fit 12. Got a few more guns to buy and a few spots left. If I manage to fit 13, I'll be even happier!

u/conanap 15d ago
you gotta share the model of this asfe and pics cuz i do not believe you lol

u/Iokua_CDN 15d ago
Just the cheapo cansdian tire 12 gun safe! It's got 6 slots on either side to its dead easy to fit guns 6 to each side.
I currently also have a side by side shotgun with the barrel removed sitting in the back middle part. If I had some of those velcro plastic rods that stick to the top of the safe and go down into the barrel to hold the gun, I bet I could get 3 down the middle!
Scoped guns don't sit super well in it, so I recommend either putting an extension on the foam holder to hold the gun more upright and make room for the scope, or alternatively flip it barrel down if that fits better
Top drawer sits with just random bits like my sks bayonet and extra choke tubes and such. If I had handguns, it would be great up there. Or if it was wider or could Shove some short firearms up there or disassemble some. For now it's kinda wasted space

u/conanap 15d ago
wild I have the same one, I guess you don't have glass on your guns? i can really only fit 2-3 small pistols up there, can't fit my gsp500 there
2
u/Iokua_CDN 15d ago
It's a mixed bag
22 bolt and 308 bolt have glass. 410 shotgun and 7.62 x39 bolt have red dots.
Then my lever action, pump shotgun, old Cooey bolt action, break action and Sks all are just irons.
I'll sometimes store my old Crossman pellet rifle with a scope in the, making it a total of 10 guns with still 3 spots open. 5 with some sort of optic 5 without.
2-3 pistols sounds about right for the top part!

I’m genuinely at the point where I’m just gonna build my own. Seems like it’ll actually be a really fun project

Just ordered one. I'm a huge bullpup fan, and was looking at getting a semi-auto turknelli before this showed up. Theres honestly not a lot of videos on it for info, but apparently they're pretty decent, and I don't mind gambling a bit on it cuz bullpup :)

u/NoGrapefruit1213 15d ago
I want the carry handle version undecided between it and the pump. Turkish semis have a tendency to not like cheap target loads but I’ve heard decent things about this from the Americans
1
u/Iokua_CDN 15d ago
The pump, you could always pick up a keltec ks7. But this is the only semi version as far as I know! That's what got me thinking of a semi one
2
u/NoGrapefruit1213 15d ago
Yeah keltec ks7 pump double the price and from what I’ve seen same quality
1
u/Iokua_CDN 15d ago
Your probably right. And no Chokes! The thing I like about these I'd you can throw a rifled choke, or a full choke for longer range shot, or even a screw in extension to turn it into a 26 inch barrel
1
u/NoGrapefruit1213 15d ago
These don’t have chokes either just the barrel nut threads 9on I’ve the barrel. I see the black and green flat tops are sold out on foc already lol
1
u/Iokua_CDN 15d ago
Ah that detracts from them for me then! I thought they did have them. Or at least the ability to add them
1
u/NoGrapefruit1213 15d ago
I seen something about an adaptor for some other gun that works but it looks goofy imo

u/Willing-Society-4123 15d ago
What is it exactly and what are the features?

u/HappyCan7250 15d ago
Bullpup semi auto 12ga. Liberals and RCMP basically banned every other bullpup 12ga semi (N4S was the last model left until RCMP swapped its FRT randomly to prohibited) so its just cool to have another one available again.
The bullpup setup let's you have an 18" barrel but in a super compact package, overall length is probably about the same as a 12" barreled conventional setup since the action is moved basically into the stock area
1
u/NoGrapefruit1213 15d ago
20” barrel the pumps are 18” the Americans get with the 18” but honestly I think it looks better with the 20” and being tube fed should up reliability and down the chances of future ban but let’s be honest it’s likely gonna get the axe
1
u/No-Veterinarian-8834 15d ago
Videos show them to be fairly reliable, too. Might have to get one, honestly.

I wouldn’t trust the semi auto action out hiking with my life on the line.
A pump action Benelli SuperNova tactical 14.5” is ideal but expensive at just under $1000. Unfortunately I sold mine.
But I do trust the Federation Firearms SPM-12 Pump Shotgun - 12GA, 2-3/4" or 3", 9" Barrel that is about $500

-$600.
Everyone gets so excited because it’s semi auto….. but you should only buy QUALITY short semi auto shotguns….. and of course ask yourself what is your end use case? Will you fire it a couple of times at the range and then park it in your gun safe for eternity?

u/Geralt-of-Rivai 15d ago
Oh, you should never put your life on the line with a Turkish shotgun. Or any Turkish gun. But it's short and it's semi-auto and semi-auto is fun. And cheap. It's cheap. So hell yeah

u/AceArchangel 15d ago
I trust my ksg more than any turk gun
3
u/Geralt-of-Rivai 15d ago
Love my ksg too, I'd put my life on it. I'll take pump ksg over semi auto Turkish any day

u/AssignmentPutrid3197 15d ago
lol @ thinking "federation firearms" is a life on the line reliable firearm.
I'd much, much, much rather trust my life to a mossberg 500 or even 88
1
u/Iokua_CDN 15d ago
You do make a good point of the pumps. I have a simple Canuck pump and I've gotten pretty quick at it, and it's been reliable.
That reliability vs the semi auto.... is hard yo beat..

Mine works perfectly fine at mag dumping into dead cars and shooting beer cans out of the air. I would not however take it to the olympics.

They looks super cool and are priced aggressively low, but I’m waiting on my SPAS12 lol, the Turks already got my money
