Quoted: Seeing as how there is still plenty of 12 gauge birdshot on the shelf. your area still has 12 GA? a lot of folks haven’t seen 12 gauge anything for several weeks now. you should have bought all of the 12 ga shells before debating the gun purchase. by the time you go back there won’t be anything except 28 gauge on the shelf |

Been trying to buy at least 100 rounds a week. |

I buy 500 each time I go in there. Mine also sells boxes of clays, 90 for $6.97. |

Neat guns. IIRC they're a copy of an old Beretta design. And if you hate Walmart like so many other GDers, the same gun is available elsewhere under different names. ATI offers a version with a silver receiver. No idea if Theisens stores are in your area(basically another version of Tractor Supply), but here they have the ATI version, usually $120 or $140, with frequent $99 sales.
They're not as nice/good of guns as the H&R's that used to be $79 new, but they're available. ETA-they're hot sellers in my area, and I haven't seen a used one for sale yet, so buyers must like them. |

Plenty of bird loads and a smattering of buckshot and slugs once in a while. |

I have one in 20 ga. They are "okay". Bare bones minimal. Absolutely no choke, just a straight walled cylinder chamber to muzzle. Hey, Walmart probably pays $35 for these.
The hammer spring is intense. It takes a fair bit of hand strength to operate, more than is really required. this isn't a firearm that would be idea for women and kids if only because of this. And the trigger pull is fairly tough as a result too. Again, its not a $2000 precision rifle, its a cheap assed shotgun. You can make substantial improvements by simply backing off some of the tension on the main spring. Its dead simple, and make dramatic improvements... Would I buy mine again? Probably not, but only because I have subsequently found a little kids 20 ga H&R single I like better.... |

Man, I’d honestly say buy any other 12 gauge than one of those things. My dad was intrigued with it for the same reason you suggest and bought one. I kid you not, the trigger pull must be close to 25 lbs. Very easy to pull your point of aim off just trying to get it to fire. Maybe he just got a bad one. But I’d at least ask to dry fire it before you buy it if you have one in hand.

Very cool little gun for the money. I would grab a 12 gauge version if I saw it. |

I know nothing about them. But it looks like something I would play with if I didn't have two Savage model 24s
It's a hundred dollars. If you are gainfully employed it shouldn't set you back to far. |

They used good materials and made it correctly, but decided to not make any profit on this one? That is what you are hoping to learn?

I know they’re well known for importing from Turkey, but the founder sounds like quite a character:

Take the $100 you'd spend on that, sell 2 or 3 boxes of 9mm ammo, and buy a Savage/Stevens 301

I've always figured them to be in a barn, on a boat, behind the seat of the farm truck, mounted on the tractor somewhere, etc. Maybe tucked back in someone's closet - "gun is like a fire extinguisher, better to have SOMETHING than nothing". Most probably have 2 or 3 rounds per year through them, if that. |

Same here, out of town. Have a. 22/.410, .22mag./20 ga, and .357/20 ga. Sold a .30-30/12 ga. years ago, still kicking myself for that.

I'm surprised that's not already sold. They had one several months ago. I went to go look for someone to help, found some lady who said she'd send for someone. I made my way back and there was already a couple there with the guy who works in sports and he was buying it. They just barely got it back in. For some reason shotguns sit at this Walmart. It's the Hunting rifles that fly off the shelves. |
