That Turkish walnut is hard to resist. How much would a sidelock with bulino engraving or CCH and a premium piece of walnut cost?
In Adam's third post where the guy is pictured taking a knee with the 2 dogs and that sidelock sitting there or the pic below it, how much would a gun like that cost? And can it be ordered?

Yildiz is what it is, an entry level gun. My 7yr old is a pro with his .410, its light and fits him. I would never disparage him for using it. It's his first O/U and he is proud of it. It always seems that its easy to sh*t on everyone else's guns. It's even easier on a forum to parrot someone else's opinion without actually having used one. So if you are on the fence about Yildiz just go in knowing it is an entry level gun, rough around the edges but a solid gun, and as stated earlier, Turkish guns are getting better for a mass produced gun.

So if you are on the fence about Yildiz just go in knowing it is an entry level gun, rough around the edges but a solid gun, and as stated earlier, Turkish guns are getting better for a mass produced gun. Well stated. As for actually having used one ............. I have, a lot. I have intimate knowledge of two more, all three S x Ss. They all three needed to have the trigger lightened. I did mine and one other myself, and assisted with the third. Very easy trigger to get down to 3 1/2 lbs. Did that when new, and all three triggers have functioned flawlessly since then. The regulation on mine is perfect, and it shoots 50/50 with 1/2 oz. and 11/16 oz. loads. I have been around several of the O/Us that have exhibited trigger problems, several years ago. But again, on the S x Ss, they're very reliable. If you could just see the lockwork on them you would have a better feeling about spending your money. Polished to the point that it seems out of place on a gun this inexpensive. If I get a chance this morning I will pull the buttstock off mine and take a couple pics to post here. Want to rub some oil finish on the wood anyway, be a good time to get some pics. I used to shoot doves with mine a lot, before I got the 30" barreled .410 Dickinson, but I still carry it when I walk the dog, or just want to walk with a gun. It's solid quality (for the money) and has easily been the biggest gun buying surprise of my life. It's so much more gun than the J C Higgins .410 S x S I started out on, as a kid, that it's not even a fair comparison.  Works good on these, too.  SRH

Stan, I don't think I've ever even pulled a trigger on one of the Turkish OU's. A guy with whom I used to hunt had temporary custody of a very fancy Turkish OU, acquired by a relative who served in the Air Force in Turkey. That gun doubled on him, but I can't blame current production for that. It was some time ago.
On another forum, the owner of a Turkish-made Webley & Scott (same factory as the Dickinson, I believe) had his double trigger gun double on him twice this past season. And he reported that a friend of his had one double as well. That one a single trigger gun. Caused me to recall my gunsmith friend's advice--and he's a guy who doesn't work on much of anything other than sxs--that he felt doing much adjustment was risky. Wonder if those guns had had some trigger adjustment work done.

I haven't had the triggerplate/lockwork out of my Dickinson to look at it. Haven't had the need to. But, the little Yildiz is a box lock, with very easy-to-work-on trigger parts. Must be hardened sufficiently too, as I did trigger work on mine some 8-10 yrs. ago, and it's never changed one iota.
All the Yildiz O/U triggers I saw give problems were singles.

I had the gunsmith to reduce the trigger on my 20 gauge sxs Yildiz when he chopped and rethreaded the barrels. The trigger wasn't all that bad from the factory, but he got it down to 4 lbs and I've never had an issue with it. I mainly shoot 1.625 oz tungsten loads through it, though I have shot some 1.875 oz loads. You would think if it was gonna double that it would have happened with loads like these.

Do they make long barreled hammerguns ? eeb - Huglu makes a 12 bore 30" hammergun, with choke tubes and a tang safety, marketed here by CZ-USA as the Hammer Classic. I bought one for ducks and steel shot. It is ugly and the original triggers were awful, but it has stood up to a lot of hard use thus far. I have no qualms about beating it up in the marsh, whereas I fret when using an 1870's fowler.
