Huckleberry .357

[ag563]

Has anyone got one of the new Gforce Arms, Lever Action, Huckleberry .357 magnum ?
I just ordered one, but can't find much about them. Made in Turkey.

Not trying to be a smart ass, but shouldn't you research before ordering?

Ok so here’s my advice, buy 2, put one in the closet and leave it there never ever shoot it!

I used to work at a gun shop, and I can’t tell you how many people came in with a broken gun made in another country and imported by a company that went out of business (either the company or manufacturer) and for some reason got mad at us because we couldn’t get parts! (And for some reason, it was always the same part that broke!)

So if you have 2, you’ll always be able to get at least 1 spare part!

Pfft... next you'll be telling us that we're supposed to read instructions or look at a map!

Made in Turkey seems like a red flag to me. Esp in a complicated rifle like the lever action.

The Turks make some quality firearms. That wouldn't bother me at all in and of itself.

The first thing that comes to my mind is the plethora of Turk shotguns, not made for serious use. TFBTV has done several shotgun test vidoes and I think none have made it very far.

But there is also Canik and SAR (handguns) and I think both of those are pretty good quality.

I have seen a lot of bad on their shotguns. Their handguns seem.to be a different story including their 1911s.
Springfield 2020 rimfire is turkey made. It has had decent reviews so far. Let's hope they can make decent rifles.
Doesn't Winchester have most of their long guns made in Turkey?

My auto loader 20g is from turkey (Mossberg). Never had a failure. Not hard use though.

I ordered it from RK Guns, the price was good. Will let you all know how it works when it comes in. It was about 150 less than my Rossi R92, .357 that I got last year.

I picked it up at Rural . King today. Was raining, so I didn't get to try it out. The action seems good, I little stiff to load, finish is good ,Turkish Walnut. Maybe get to shoot a few rounds this weekend.

I took it out and shot a few rounds today. It worked fine, no problems. I am happy with it.

Turkish manufacturing is surprisingly functional. ISO standards in place many places

Japan?

New ones may be Turkish.

Just the SXP shotguns
