Lightbulb Tristar 12 Gauge

Does anyone own or have experience with the Tristar shotguns? I've been watching some of the videos on youtube and looking at the ones listed on gunbroker. Apparently they're well made and built in Turkey. The price is also very agreeable, the ones I saw earlier going from around $200 - $250. They also had a 20 gauge model although I don't get excited about that chambering like I do the 12 gauge.

We sell em. IMHO, they are junk. For a few bucks more you can buy a Mossberg.

Re: Tristar 12 Gauge

I was never a Mossberg shotgun man until I traded cheap for one hoping to re-sell it. Changed out the barrel from a mod to a full took it Dove hunting one day only took the cheapest wally world shells I could find and only took one box. Shot 23 shell and had 19 birds, I ain't that great of a shot so don't go gettin any idea's here. Just seems I coudn't miss with that shot gun. Worse yet I didn't have my license either forgot to re new it. So needless to say it was an eye opening experance more ways than one.
