@@bobnoneya1267 If you're going to go for target loads mostly, go for the 3 inch version and not the 3.5 inch version. I find it doesn't like the REALLY light target loads (7/8s ounce or less). I've had good luck with 1 ounce or heavier target loads and anything 3 drams of powder or more should cycle it no problem. I would also highly advise you break the gun in via shooting some higher powered loads (I.E. a box of high brass hunting loads) in order to ensure the inertia action is broken in. I must mention, I've only put roughly 300 rounds through mine since getting it a year or so ago, only stoppages I've had were from very light target loads and a couple of old ass shells that were 40+ years old, but I can count how many I've had on one hand. For sub 500 dollars, I honestly think it's not bad.
Benelli/Beretta all have the same issues in the butstock end.......a good clean/light lube before and after the season as well as after any moist hunts!!! Great review!!!
Another great video. I'm actually a fan of Turkish guns - I probably have half a dozen pistols and shotguns and they all run fine. I have realistic expectations given their price points and I understand I'm not going to find aftermarket accessories, but that's how it goes.
I just bought the Girsan mc312 12g 3.5 shell and i fell in love with it. Forget everything else. Thanks for the review. I shot slugs today and my shoulder feel great. I swear. Maybe because I was wearing my puffy jacket. :) This Girsan is Recommended 100% Just make sure you break it in with slug shots or something powerful. This shotgun needs to cycle well. Weaker ammo might not cycle.
My lifter was going too far down when loading the shells so I would have to ease up on downward pressure to load. A little bit of JB Weld in the grooves under the lifter to shorten the groove so lifter would not go down as far. Other than that, no issues. Also put a Limb Saver on the buttpad.
I would love a critique on the Turkey made Revolution Arms M20 shotgun made by Target Silah CA22-20-48. I love this 20 ga auto loader for pheasant hunting. Thank you.
I own 6 of these. They work awesome. My friends have bought this gun. And the AR12 and bull pup shotgun. All work great. The AR12 and bull pup does NOT have a light recoil. Bull pup os pretty harsh recoil . Great for home defense
As long as you get your Fur and Feathers which you can get using this shotgun..it is enough for us poor folks..You don't, need expensive shotguns to get the job done.. Just replace the Butt plate though 🙂
Ive got the girsan also,,, but in camo 3”, ordered from cabelas online while it was on sale,,, i jus wish it was the black one instead,, I prefer my shotguns to be black anyways got alot of big geese with it,,,, i use Carlsons Sporting Clays (ported) full choke,,, hahaha cheaper then cremator, and it takes steel too anyways,
Hey bud, you should look into TNA VR-66 Tactical shotgun to review, its exact replica from Benelli M2 , TNA claims that they put 1000 rounds through them without any issues, they are $550 now till Monday Sep 4, then they go back up to $1000+
I had mine for 8 years and it still works just as good as my Benelli they all have the same problem Don't try to shoot real late loads That's why Tran tactical customize all benelli's that they sell because they don't shoot light loads everybody customizes Benelli to shooting competition for that reason
So mine has two issues please help? So first is often! I take it to the range load in the first round and the shell drops back after the lifter has a chance to bring the shell up! So she'll is under the lifter and it's stuck! Second get quite a few weak firing pin strikes! Shell does not go off? Have to eject the round and can clearly see it hit the primer? Please help???
There isn't really much aftermarket available for them. They're somewhat new to the Canadian market and part support for turkish shoguns is usually pretty poor.
I hope this is a related topic, but may I ask if something like Benelli's own inertia-driven "Super Black Eagle 3" is still legal in Canada*? * please forgive me for asking something not directly on topic: just that I have great respect for your journalism on fire-arms in Canada and I can't think of someone better to come to my rescue when my brain feel so smooth and smol trying to figure out recent gun laws... Wish you and yours a lovely Lunar New Year holiday season and stay safe!!
I have the Wood furniture version. Great gun but not the Hockey Puck butt pad. Just awful. Changed it to a Pachmayr decel pad sooo much better. My shoulder loves me again.
Got the same one. So far so good. For me it’s good bang for the buck 👍🏻
Been eyeing these for a couple years , well priced shot gun and they make a great hand guns
Love mine. Used it all last season and its a bad ass shotgun. Great for anything and I can feed it just about everything.
Mines been great ever since I got it. I need to shoot mine more. Girsan is one of the more reputable Turkish gun makers out there.
How does it handle target loads? I'm looking at getting one and I'd be doing mostly skeet shooting with it so mostly target loads.

Thanks for the great review. What is the legal shotgun shell capacity for 3 gun shotguns or just target shooting in Canada?

Hi, thanks for the video. where did you buy your butt pad replacement you mentioned in a forum I read?
does the benelli chokes go with the gun
Remington 870 is the magazine extension tube that goes on the mc 312 grisan
Seems like a good buy at the price point, the grouse will not care that you are not using CITORI.
Ever gonna make a review on the Ruger American Ranch? Seems an increasingly popular rifle in Canada, especially with the amendment proposition.
Buddy of mine has one. Pretty nice for the price and rings the steel at 300 every time.
Great rifles.
When I first read your description I thought oh that's not good if they're exploding.

Have you solved the problem?
@@clockworkbike I have not unfortunately! Can't seem to figure it out exactly
@@mindcrime420 mine had a damaged rotating bolt pin. Disassemble the bolt and have a look.
is that streets of tarkov as the background image for the thumbnail?
Indeed
Does anyone know where to get a replacement charging handle? My fell out and I lost it!
Check doctor deals
Is that streets of tarkov in the thumbnail?
Yep
Use motor oil to lube the bolt and spring/plunger in the stock and this gun will work/last a lifetime.
I also have the gun and mine shoots high and to the left bad. Do y’all have the same problem
yes mine does to, I have adjusted to it though
Mine won't shoot Winchester 2 3/4 7.5 or 8 shot shells. It doesn't like any Winchester round
Are there aftermarket stocks and barrels available?

SBE's are still legal in Canada.
Don't let Trudeau see that. It's the wrong colour for him.
I thought black was his favorite makeup color.
