To All,
Imo, a person could do FAR worse than a Turkish-made pump riot-gun by ASI. = I bought mine "more or less by accident" at a San Antonio gun-show last year, while looking for a used Model 870 Remington (or something similar) for a "house defense gun".
A fellow quietly said to me, while I was looking at a "pretty junky looking" 870 that, "a fellow on the back row has NEW shotguns for the same price", so I walked back to the back & ended up buying a ASI 12-gauge pump for 200.oo OTD.
It's a NICE gun for the few dollars & is at least equal in overall quality to a Mossberg or one of the new Model 870 shotguns.
(I'm NOT impressed with the new Remington products. = My old 870 pump-gun from the 1980s was better in every way.)
My "cheap little gun" is NICE, well-machined, has a hard industrial chromed bore & shoots every time W/O problems, with any 12 gauge load that I've tried.
just my OPINION, satx
