anyone know anything about them? I have a connection that may be able to get me one from over in italy for WAY under cost. This will become a bird/trap gun. Over under or side by side? what to know?

any info is helpful, thanks

I've got a 103C over/under 12ga. My brother picked it up at the factory for a whopping $250 when he was in Turkey a few years ago.I love it -it shoots real nice, about as much kick as a 20 ga..Its got 28" vent-rib barrels,5 different choke tubes,chambered for 2 3/4" and 3" , single trigger, you can select which barrel you want to fire first, nice engraving work on the receiver and trigger guard.Weight is about the same as my 870 12 ga.

Here's a few pics- pics aren't the best.I can PM you better pics if you need them.

The model # i got prices for was the 104A for $330 I don't know if I want the fixed choke or the adjustable. They are checking to see if the other models are available

these are low-mid level guns that have HORRIBLE qc problems (as with any firearm made in turkey). I know people that have them that wouldn't trade them for anything and I konw people that have had them for only hours and they have needed repair. the best way to buy these guns is directly from a gun shop where you can inspect and handle the gun you are to buy, not roll the dice and order one to be shipped to you. my $.02

I can't tell you how many customers I have had over the years that refused these types of guns once they arrived. This is not to say that the majority were refused but when you look at the QC compared to other mfg's the rule of "you get what you pay for" does ring true. That being said, as long as you are comparing O/U's in the same category here are some things to consider.

Stock to receiver fit is usually horrible. Forend to receiver fit is usually horrible. Vents in the rib sometimes have slivers of metal sticking out from when the vents were cut. Actions are usually very tight when new but don't stay that way very long. Chokes are not interchangable with other mfg's as is common among some major brands.

Not trying to steer you away from this. Just things to look out for.

I shoot a 103F OU.

I have had ZERO problems with this shotgun, maybe I'm a lucky one? I paid $290 after some bargaining with the dumbass behind the counter at Big5.

Why a Huglu? If, for any reason, I was to drop this in the mud as opposed to my Citori, I wouldn't shed tears over it. Two centados worth anyhow.

Same here.The fit of the receiver/stock, etc. is just fine on my gun, and no slivers in the ventribs.I myself am completely happy with it.I dont know if there's a difference in quality between the ones imported and the ones purchased overseas but mine seems to be just fine.
