Something can always be found cheaper but does it ever give you the same pride of ownership? A Model 12 always gave me a sense of pride and always worked, whereas my Mossberg with its ever jambing shell magazine I am ready to cut in half in the chopsaw. Cheap is as cheap does, there is a reason why a $450 gun won't eject shells or has trigger pulls as hard as a wedding night d*ck


I have had to rework the triggers on many American made guns I have bought new in my lifetime as well.

Neither was I "comparing" the two guns. If I could have found an affordable American made .410 S x S with the quality of the Yildiz I would have bought it. It didn't exist, wonder why?

Your reason for extractors on .410s sure don't agree with the man who designed and made this RBL, Tony. He told me, as I said earlier, how hard it is to get ejectors to work right on a .410. The reason it doesn't eject shells is that it doesn't have ejectors. Duh!

It is not important to me whether or not you like the Yildiz, or the fact that I bought one. I prefer to think of the Yildiz as a good VALUE, not as being the best .410 out there. I understand pride of ownership very well, and I also recognize condescension when I see it.

Maybe YOU should have bought a "$450 Turkish gun" instead of an American made non-functioning Mossberg.
