Here's a photo of gun and pattern of my Yildiz TK36 .410. Yesterday I was in Stan's neck of the woods to try out some Comp N Chokes at nearby Hiltonia where the owner allowed me to check out various chokes on the company range. This is the one I selected: .390. This is a specialized .410 for wild turkeys and was "built" on the field grade Yildiz TK36 that I purchased new from Academy for $130. Through a collaborative effort of gunsmiths and choke makers, it is a shooter. SKB crafted the front sight holder featuring a Marble Post. Sumtoy Customs did the trigger work and threaded the barrel cut off to 20". The rear sight is an adjustable peep by Skinner. Sumtoy had to mill the radius flat on the slightly curved action to mount it. The load is 13/16 oz. of #10 TSS. One oz. of #10 contains 500 pellets. The calculated amount of shot in the load I used is 406. The actual number of holes on the paper is 404. 179 in the 10" center ring with 225 outside the 10" circle. The velocity is a subsonic 1000 fps with more than adequate penetration to over 45 yards. All but 2 pellets are on the paper and all are contained inside a ring of less than 24", but two is based on count of 1 oz. I weigh the load and don't go above 600 grains on shot. One additional shot can go over 600. This gun will hunt. I've shot the same gun successfully for the past 12 seasons with the same load but that gun features a red dot sight. Both guns are 3.25 lbs. but the depicted gun has a shorter barrel by 4". . Gil
