ASI shotguns

[MrBAD]

Any one know about these shotguns? Are they any good? Are they even California legal? I was looking at one in particular on Budsgunshop called the Asi Pasimax. Its a 12 gauge pump

if its a pump then yes it is legal in CA. the only thing you can do to a pump that would be illegal in CA is make the OAL less than 26 inches.

Nice thanks for replying. I guess they are made in Turkey

yeah, buds seems to have the hook up with those budget shotguns, as my username states i am a mossy man lol so i don't know much about them.

Yeah I really did not plan on buying anything for a while because I am on a budget right now. I always wanted a pistol grip shotgun and it seems like they will be banned soon.

pump action guns are not going to be banned by any of the laws that are going through the process now. what will be banned that is a "shotgun" is guns like the Circuit Judge and other .410's that also fire .45LC. if you want a good quality pump action, get a mossy 500 when they are on sale at big 5 then build it up any way you want.

Instead of starting my own thread I thought I'd bump this old one.

So does anyone have any additional info on ASI pump shotguns?

Buds has them for sale for $179.

[Yehosha]

Anyone?

Machines break and degrade (Does not matter how much they cost); when they do you need to look for replacement parts or look into warranty.

You will have trouble with upgrades or replacements. The Turkish shotguns being import are not very interchangeable.

Looks like a 870 clone alum receiver

It looks almost exactly like the Weatherby PA-459 / PA-459 TR, which is also a Turkish import but backed by Weatherby. I'll get the Weatherby if I were you, if something were to go wrong, you'll know at least you'll have a California based company to help you with it.

All of these budget shotguns tend to have rough actions, stiff triggers, and cheap/thin stocks.

The maverick 88 is the best of the bunch, it's basically a Mossberg 500 for $200. As a plus it will take most Mossberg 500 accessories, the only thing that is mechanically different is the location of the safety.

just 1, minor, little ,tiny thing you left out. your barrel needs to be a at least 18" long & OAL no less than 26"

Gonna bump this one more time in hopes someone that has actual experience with one will chime in.

Gotta say that you get what you pay for. Probably a better idea to get one of those CZ Turkish shotguns. That way you get a CZ warrenty at least.
