have handled and sold four of these. they are the best finished and balanced of any of the newer sxs's. nothing else even comes close.
keep it simple and keep it safe...

Ed, you're not even close. I've handled several, all with ridiculously heavy triggers and a few with top ribs misaligned. I've also seen them stacked, in boxes, in an American smith's shop waiting to have their trigger pulls lightened.

have not noticed top ribs misaligned. have had no complaints re trigger pulls nor manufacturing flaws. however, i have noticed the actions are unusually tight.
keep it simple and keep it safe...

GJZ...Maybe you are exaggerating a bit? Several? A few? Stacks? What is the name of this American Smith who has the "stacks"?. I have never even seen ONE of them, but I'd like to......

No exagerration. They were shipped to a smith in the Midwest for correction. They are Turk guns built to a price point with little attention to detail but they do come with unexpectedly good looking wood.

GJZ; sounds like you have a grudge against turkey... or are you just another cronic malcontent who occasionally surfaces on this forum? could the Z in GJZ be Zorba?

What's with the smartass comments? You start drinking early? Good luck selling your second-rate Turk guns, no matter whose name is on them.

Distel,
How about selling me back that 16 gauge Winny 1897 that I sold/traded to you a couple years ago? Remember..the Jp Sauer BLNE?
If interested, please email me at maruquinandsons@juno.com
Thanks,
Dustin

I'm not too happy about coming out on the same side of anything with old Ed, but I do think they are not a bad gun. They are not a hand made gun and should not be compared with one. I wouldn't trade one for a clean 20 gauge Sterlingworth if I had to shoot it but I wouldn't trade my 1974 RD 350 for a new Harley, if I had to ride it, either.
