Turkish built. The manual of arms was well written in English with correct punctuation and grammar. It shipped with (1) 2 round mag to hunt with, (2) 5 round magazines, single point sling, flip up Magpul type sights (obviously a copy), the ubiquitous lock and (3) choke tubes / choke tube wrench and take down tool.
I added a Sorbothane cheek piece that came with the supplied cheek riser.
I shot it only for patterning and to check reliability. Obviously it isn't feeding the Agila mini shells yet given it's not broken in. The crossbolt safety clicks on / off easily enough. I used some reduced recoil #4 Buck 2 & 3/4" shells for the first couple thru the 5 round mags. Fed and functioned fine. I used 3" Federal slugs in the 2 round magazine. Glad I added the anti-slap cheek protector! Ugh!! It spent all empties in a nice little pile about 3 feet away and to the right. Never had any ejected any into my fugly mugly. Percieved recoil wasn't bad as I worried about my shoulder with the slugs. I did try to shoot the mini shells out of it. Almost cycled but not quite there yet. I bet once I get it properly broken in it will do about 50/50 so don't bet your life on these in a semi auto shotgun even if it is gas cycled. I'm sure the longer shells that are considered short but not dinky i.e. the 2" - 2 & 1/2" 12 gauge shells will be good to go but my current inventory precludes me from trying them. Maybe I will get lucky finding some in Lafayette next week? I'll update if I can score some!
On another note: I shot this right handed with the reduced recoil shells after having total shoulder replacement in July. It was bearable but switched to left handed to make sure my right shoulder is fully stabilized for any lengthy shooting sessions...
