Charles Daly 101 Turkey Mossy Oak Bottomland 12 Gauge Shotgun - 1 Round

Pros: It’s a natural pointer. When shouldered it is right on target for shooters from 5’7 to 6’3 as I tested it. The fixed Sights are clear and accurate. The stock is very substantial and not sloppy, hollow or cheap feeling. The cerakote is very well done. And it takes Beretta Mobil Chokes. Overall, a great shooter. Cons: The picatinny rail is plastic. Really? And the fire control group works but it’s a cheap piece of crap. It feels like cheap fragile plastic, is very sloppy, and the safety sticks badly. So bad I just leave it off—so basically it’s a self-cocking break- open shotgun with no safety. Not exactly the safest arrangement. The first aftermarket company that makes a decent FCG for these shotguns (I also have a 410 with a very nice walnut stock) is going to rake in the cash. I would pay 100 or more dollars for an aftermarket trigger housing for these shotguns —no problem. Until then, I won’t be buying anymore Turkish shotguns or rifles.

When I picked up the shotgun at my FFL I noticed the trigger was very hard to pull. When I got home I saw the firing pin did not seem to work when dry firing. My FFL confirmed the firing pin was not working and will send it to the manufacturer for repair. I suspect this is rare and not the norm for this shotgun.
