Hi all and congrats Adam on a very nice Yildiz! Here's the wood on mine (not near as nice as yours!):


I have the 20ga model and I must say that for the $$$ these are extremely nice guns. Very good workmanship, the wood as a rule (not an exception) is a cut above others in this price range. They are also nice handling guns, good balance and a nice feel. The alloy action makes this a joy to carry. Mine weighs in at 5-10 and not whippy at all. The trigger on mine has some creep, a tad mushy, but a nice clean let off. Not heavy at all. It seems to work fine, no problems or issues with it. The ejectors are well timed and strong. The only draw back is the choke tubes. They are available thru Briley, but are spendy. Mossberg made the Pro Factor (PF4) tubes that fit them, but when I was looking for them, they were hard to find in 20ga at least.
Too bad Academy is the only importer, Yildiz has some fine looking guns on their site, that I'm sure would do well here. These are good guns and well worth the price.
As to the bbl regulation, it sure shots were I look (and Stan also by his picture):

Congrats again Adam! Good score!
