Tristar m411 has been my primary beater/duck gun for the last 5 years. Back then it was manufactured in Italy by Luciana Rota. I pound this gun hard, clean it infrequently and it sits in the barn between hunts with only a WD40 bath and have had zero hiccups. I have no idea re: what they are putting out today or of the quality or reliability of the current product. Of mine I can say that it's been super. I did lengthen the cones and put a sissy pad on it. Mine has proprietary threads on the tubes and I got the extended ones. They've performed well enough. I have to remind myself of the higher comb constantly. 2 1/4" DAH, DT, PG.
