I spent quite a bit of time with them at the 2010 SHOT Show. I tried to convince them to come to a few side by side events or send me guns to take to those events for folks to look at and shoot.
I've talked to several Turkish companies who make really nice guns. I think they can build better guns than they can market them.
The quality of the guns I handled at SHOT in 2010 were as good as a quality Spanish gun at considerably less money.
I remember in the 60s that there were guys telling me that a 101 Winchester wouldn't last because it was made in Japan. It's true that there are some junk guns that come out of Turkey but junk guns can be built anywhere.
I don't buy new guns but if I were buying a new double, it would almost certainly come from Turkey.
