The Turks can and do make some very good shotguns. Even my very cheap Armson 12ga autolader is a well made and reliable gun. I bought it used "like new" for $125.00 plus shipping. It takes Beretta choke tubes and will shoot any 2 3/4" and 3" shell without modification. They also make good doubles...decent handling and nicely fitted. Turkey has a long history in gun making.

Back to 16s...I love the bore and have nine guns in 16ga; it comes with being a masochist, liking pokes in my eyes, dogs biting my ankles, IRS audits, and finding 16 ga ammo in a pinch.
