FD12 Bullpup Shotgun

[Rogerbutthead]

I bought this today, for no good reason.

Any recommendations as to what I should put on top of it?

How much are you willing to spend?

Check out the Holosun HS510C if its in your price range.

It is within my price range, any other recommendations or other people also stating the Holosun HS510C would work well on top of this - probably never going to fire it - my heirs will have fun with it when I am dead and buried.

I bought one last year just for the hell of it when I saw it on the shelf. Fantastic little shotgun.

Ordered the Holosun, TY for the recommendation Quiet.

Ah...the Turkish shotgun of the week gamble.

I've been avoiding that...until recently.

Couldn't find any bad reviews(maybe one actually) for the box fed
Panzer MFPA pump. Uses same box mags as a myriad of other Turk semis and pumps.



Net pic:


They sell for $200 all day but this one company(link below) sells them for $149.00 so I ordered a couple...justifying them as "trunk guns"-LOL.

I ordered 2 guns and a bunch of extra 5 and 10 round mags.

Thrown in the trunk unloaded with some loaded mags next to them, they are legal because- "in a locked container(trunk)", unloaded(no mag installed), and can be put into action quickly by loading mag and racking.

Hopefully this would not happen-but....if they did get stolen or cops pilfer it....who cares..$150 shotgun.

Yes I know that the "trunk gun" concept is kinda flawed...it's just my justification for buying 2 POS turkish pumps!

Of course I never put them in the trunk.

Took them out once and they run.

Hilariously...so far they run better than my $1500 IWI TS12 shotgun which is back at IWI in Pa. right now being warranty repaired

I Field stripped them for cleaning expected to cringe at machine marks and plastic/pot metal looking parts but was surprised.

Everything LOOKS nice.
But metallurgy is a thing and they had to cut costs somewhere so....

I figure I can always give them away to somebody...

We will see what happens during higher round counts of all these cheapish Turk guns flooding the market.

My guess is-it won't be pretty and you won't be able to get parts. We will see.

I probably should have just bough a couple Mav 88's...

Anyway...OP-Hope your gun is solid!

Update here if it works and keeps working if you can.

Wish mine were the bullpup versions, but that $600 price is a dealbreaker for me for a Turk gun.

Oklahoma must be like gun heaven.

Very little selection around my part of California.

Oklahoma must be like gun heaven.

Very little selection around my part of California.

It is Gun heaven for sure there.
Magpul/ Lancer, etc. 20 and 30 rounders literally hanging on the rack with cleaning kits etc. at the hardware stores.
And hardware stores all have gun counters sections with guns for sale too.

But sadly, I'm back living in Simi Valley.

Lived In Bartlesville, Ok. for half the year 2021 working.
I should fix my location but...I'm still living in Oklahoma on a spiritual level....

Not ruling out moving some day to that state or a few others but northern AZ is on my radar now.

Miss my bud's in OK though.

I am guessing the magazines get easier to load as they wear in.

Loading five rounds in the first magazine was a female dog.

Don't tell me it is always going to be like that.

[Rogerbutthead]

Hell, the 10 round magazine is even worse, only got 7 rounds in it as I feared the plastic of the round beneath the one I was trying to load - would break from the amount of pressure I was bringing to bear - trying to get the 8th round in.

Anyone have any tips on how to load more rounds into these?

Any other ideas before I go to the hardware store?

**made the device, it helps, but because the magazine is curved, still awkward as hell to load to its 10 round capacity.
