[QUOTE="shane37110, post: 5130242, member: 14039"] Those guns are hit and miss. In my circle of friends are four people who bought those. Three of them had the barrel ring separate from the barrel where it was attached with under 200 rounds fired. They waited almost a year for Hatfield to send them a new gun and this was before the panic. There's also lots problems with the forearms splitting. And the flimsy wire retaining ring for the gas piston is the problem fails to hold the assembly in place. On one of my buddies replacement gun the trigger stop that stops travel of the trigger once the gun is fired wasn't even machined and fitted so that the gun will fire. The fourth guy hasn't said anything and his gun has one dove season on it. We'll see how it goes. But I'm not impressed with them. There are several well made guns from Turkey, the Hatfielt is not one of them in my book. But like everything else, you get what you pay for. Better go buy a second one while they're still around so you can find parts in ten years. The Stoeger line of guns are Turk built but they are part of the Beretta/Benelli group and Beretta/Benelli has their guys in the factories assuring things are built to spec. Stoeger also is covered by the B/B groups warranty and parts support. CZ is likewise with very good oversight of their facility in Turkey. The company that makes the Hatfield contracts with several importers to build different models to each buyers specs. If we pooled together to buy enough units we could get that gun stamped TNDeer 2021 if we wanted. Heck who would have ever thought you'd have trouble finding Remington parts. [/QUOTE]
