Huckleberry .357

[two70]

Just the SXP shotguns

The Wildcat .22 is also Turkish.

The bolt action rifles and semi auto shotguns are built in Portugal. All Winchester lever actions are built in Japan with the possible exception of the new .22.

Enjoy that thing and worry not what the naysayers say. Just because its made in Turkey doesn't mean its 100% going to break. Smith and Wesson will sell you a USA Made rifle for 3X what you probably paid.

Yeah, because you're paying another American to put food on their table.

and again, you posted a stock pic, instead of an actual pic of yours.

I had a bad experience with the G force mag fed shotgun. Hoping your experience is better.

Got to handle the g force lever action .410. Aluminum receiver is slightly concerning but I didn’t get a good look at how it locked up. Felt kinda cheap but I didn’t see any reason it wouldn’t work.

I read somewhere and looked at their website that the case hardening is NOT steel but coloration on the aluminum receiver. Is this true? I didn't think having aluminum would be a bad thing but it turns out is has to do with the .357 magnum pressure. I like the price and would like to buy it but I also don't want it exploding in my face.

I think you are right, I don't think its real CCH. But the shell goes in the steel barrel when it explodes, am I wrong ?

Hmmm. I thought the shell or casing is in the receiver but the bullet goes in the steel barrel. The explosion I've seen in those gun fail videos occur when the trigger is pulled and powder or debris gets into their face. That said, I've seen videos with the barrel explode like a blooming flower and I think that was due to incorrect caliber/ammo/overheated barrel. I don't know, maybe I'm just paranoid or overly cautious. If the rifle can last at least 5000 rounds, then I'd be happy.

After all this discussion what we need is a good well written range report with pictures of targets and groups shot at distances of at least 50 and 75 yards before we all form opinions on the firearm.
I for one am very interested in its range performance.

I just checked, a magnet sticks to the receiver.

 

[Slow Hand]

Everything I have read says aluminum receivers. With how the 92 locks up, I’ll pass on that for long term reliability and safety

 

[Squid556]

Just got some hands on experience with the g force LVR 410 lever shotgun.

Gotta say it’s a pass for me.

It has difficulty locking up with multiple brands of shells, lever doesn’t want to close unless you jiggle the action a few times. Rio shells wouldn’t extract.

Ya get what you pay for. Just get American.

Rossi's are around, and prices seem to be decent. Steel receivers too.
