Has anyone shot the new Turkish made Dickinson SXS?
I have heard good things about it, but the trigger pull was reported to be very heavy. How heavy is it?

I can't shoot mine because of the heavy trigger pull. I had my local gunsmith work on it and he got the right trigger eased up enough to use but the left is still so heavy I cannot follow the target and get a shot off. Gunsmith said there's no room to work on the trigger parts?...Geo

There was an extensive thread on them here some time past.
As I recall, the general consensus was that they seem to be nicely very made guns, with the exception of some (but not all) w/heavy trigger pulls.

How similar is the Dickinson action to the new Beretta 486? I have not seen the internals of the Dickinson, but have taken apart the 486 and note that they gave it a compound two piece sear, presumably to enhance the trigger leverage and achieve good trigger pulls.

I just bought a double trigger model. It's heavier than most of my guns but I don't notice it when shooting so I guess it's not an issue. Unfortunately I don't have a trigger pull gauge.

I bought a 12 gauge Dickinson several months ago, at Cabela's, and have been very pleased with it. Trigger pulls are "normal".
Would like to know if anyone makes choke tubes to fit these shotguns?

sxsman: I think this thread link below answers almost any question that has ever been asked about the Akus Dickinson and Akus Smith and Wesson shotguns, including multiple pictures, schematics of the action and trigger plate mechanisms.......read all eleven (11) pages if you really want to know. Most of the trigger complaints relate directly to the single trigger guns and the single trigger mechanisms and not the double trigger guns......My triggers are just fine, mine are all double trigger guns. http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=303496&page=1

PA24 thanks for the pics and diagrams.
Interesting adaptation of a boxlock forging to a trigger plate form. It is the first trigger plate action I see with a full and removable bottom cover. Presumably machining was facilitated by access from below, and also cost less than a traditional boxlock with a split bottom cover. On the other hand the hollowed out bar is no stronger than a boxlock bar.
Puzzling that gunsmiths find less room to manouver and adjust trigger pulls in this action than in the usual boxlock. Makes you wonder how they are going about it.
