Well, I think they are well made. The Nikko marked one was my trap gun and the first few years of life it lived on a diet of 1 1/4oz NP 7's shooting international trap, it now has a little over 250,000 shells through it and it still won't close on a piece of computer paper, I had it rechoked for shooting live birds at hunt test and now I use it for SC. I had to put a set of firing pins in it early on as one of them got a chip off the tip and I replace both right away. I did replace the wood about 20 yrs ago as the reciever was starting to pound it's way into the head of the stock.
The other was my skeet gun and while it doesn't have as many shells through it as the Nikko it has never had any work done to it in 50 yrs.
