over the years, have handled a few. some are stamped made in japan. some are stamped assembled in korea from parts made in japan, etc. have never noticed a difference in quality. some have wood better than others. some have selective trigger. otherwise, all the same...

what has been your experience?

I had an early 20 gauge with pistol grip and single non selective trigger.Got a sporter later that had single selective trigger.They are well made guns but too heavy for me. Bobby

My straight-gripped 12-g has 28-inch barrels that were opened to 10- and 15-thou and handles steel shot without problems. Does equally well with Brenneke slugs and the selective trigger has never doubled. It's a machine.

They do have trigger problems. Easy fix though.

The selector on mine is a bit tough to move but that started after I bent the stock. Was not an easy job, given the through-bolt but it worked.

They are a piece of crap. Overpriced, hard to shoot well with MOI like a black locust fence post, kick like a horsefly bit mule, ejectors constantly breaking, wood cracking, ribs popping loose and regulated about like two Red Ryders strapped together. The 30" barreled 3" chambered ones are the worst.

Best advice I can give is to rid yourself of them ASAP. I hate them so much I am willing to assist anyone trying to get rid of them quickly. I vow to take the sorry things to a duck swamp somewhere so they will never cause you troubles again.

P.M. me.

They aren't particularly light, certainly not compared to their Japanese competition the SKB (thinking the Ithaca imports). But they do have mechanical triggers, which solves issues you can have with the inertia variety.

what I was specifically wondering, is if anyone has experienced any difference in quality between the Japanese assembled guns and the Korean assembled guns?

Had mid 70s 26" 12ga with non-selective trigger and would not buy another especially at current prices. The gun cost me $500 ca. 1990. If you must late production sporters (straight grip/ large splinter forend is the way to go. If you can stand less ornamentation no ejectors and prefer double triggers Charles Daly 500 or Montgomery Ward 500 are the way to go. These have lighter barrels so they actually offer better handling quality.
