Modern CNC work in Turkey

[springfield art]

Modern un-mentionable items being made in Turkey, a NATO member, are of the highest quality. They make ammo for un-mentionables, also. Imagine if some enterprising US entrepreneur contracted with a Turkish factory to mfg. authentic Hawkin rifles, maybe the Aston 1842, or some other black powder gun? The currency exchange rate is extremely favorable vs. the dollar. But, I sleep, perhaps to dream! as Shakespeare would say. A copy of the old Webley break-opens would fly off the shelves, just sayin'. Merely daydreaming!

I talked to the Yildiz distributor of their shotguns. He said he doubts any Turkish gunmakers would be willing to make muzzleloaders, as no market is perceived for them.

It’s a pleasant dream.

Profits attract producers.

I have 2 Turkish pistols. Both are superb clones of older models. Sold a few smoothies and the wood on the 350$ gun looked better. Than any clay target gun I've owned

I have a yildiz single shot , it’s a nice little gun.

I was just out at the range with two of my Turks today they are FANTASTIC pistols. During my military Career I deployed to Turkey a few times. I liked to go to the gun shops. People can say what they want but they ARE very much craftsmen. I saw some modern double barrel Fowlers that blew my socks off. I have no doubt that IF an importer could get them to build some Front stuffers they would be top notch.

I have a Turkish hammer Coach gun. It is very well done.

You are right about a ML, they would do a quality fire arm.

I have a modern arm made in Turkey and yup, it's very high quality.

 

[Dave Marsh]

I prefer American made.

This thread really got off track with the modern stuff.

 

[Sam squanch]

Yes it did, point being- the Turkish factories could make a great muzzleloader for a fair price, according to the work done on the modern guns they produce.
