"Seems to me that the Turks may be a lot smarter than some think."
lower working/living standards and pay scales allow them to ship over a gun for next to nothing. I would much rather support csmc and American workers that pay American taxes, than buy a Turkish gun. but that's just me.
I may be off base, but it looks to me like the material costs for a mass produced gun like the Yildiz sxs would be only marginally higher in the USA than in Turkey. I would think that the CNC machines and the components would be similar, especially since they wouldn't have the import costs.
So that leaves the labor and govt regulations as the big difference on input costs. My Y guns have the appearance of being primarily made by machines. So why couldn't CSMC or some other US company mass produce entry level sxs shotguns and sell them for under $1000? It may be that they just don't want to. It also may be that they don't know how.
I am not arguing and I don't know the answer. I would love to buy a new American made sxs set up like I want, but it doesn't exist.
