I have a friend that was given a 20 gauge shotgun with 2.75 chambers that he believes is Turkish but looks to be German to me. I haven't seen much other than these pictures however. Can anyone tell me anything about it?

He says one barrel is marked O and the other OO, and he wonders if this refers to chokes somehow. They are also stamped 15.6 and 15.8 mm, which I presume is probably bore diameters, but I don't see any markings that relate to chokes.

He said it seems well made and handles well. I'm just wondering what it is and whether it is worth very much in pretty close to new condition. I'm imagining it is somewhat the equivalent of an Ithaca/SKB 100.

Just from the look of it, I have reservations of it being near SKB 100 quality.

Mike is correct
https://www.gunwatch.co.uk/guns/12169-huglu-conquest-20-for-sale

Maybe it's a 16g; bore .662"?
16 mm = .630" = .032" = Light full
15.8 mm = .622" = .040 = XF

20g is .615"

Thanks guys. It is stamped "20 70" in several places. From that I deduce it is 2.75" 20 gauge.

Brent,
It is stamped 20-76( 3") on the barrels. If he wants to be sure, he can measure the chambers.

I think that 76 is actually a 70 that slipped and double struck. I've looked at that photo a lot and wondered about that. I don't think that is a "6"

Some of the cheap O/U's that have those cast receivers were made in Brazil.


Out there doing it best I can.

You have a wild imagination.

It's nothing close to an Ithaca/SKB 100...

I'm "imagining" $150 bucks tops.
