Yildiz shotguns are junk!!!!

[Mayhem]

Reason enough not to buy one.

Having Briley repair a shotgun is not a bad thing at all.

Bad experience with Briley's?

I understand you work for Academy, BUT every academy that I have ever bought a gun from has always told me if there is an issue with the gun to call the manufacturer and that Academy is pretty much done with the deal at the sale.

Yup

I have.

Let's just say I won't ever use them. There is(or at least was) a member here that used to work for them. Back then I think they did great work. Since he left, it's gone downhill in my opinion.

I would never trust them to warranty any work you have them do.

YMMV

I have a 20 and my son has a 12 and they have been great guns so far.

No complaints from mine either

This is not the first time I have seen this. I have seen at least three or four other threads just like this one about Yildiz shotguns coming apart and/or blowing up due to factory defects. There are some good inexpensive ones out there, but from the pics and stories I have seen, I would never own or recommend Yildiz, even to an enemy! ....well maybe to an enemy...lol

I've run thousands of rounds through my Yildiz 12g. with no problems !

I love my Yildiz !!!

Brileys quality used to be exceptional, it seems that it has gone downhill over the past few years though.

He took the gun to a shop in town, they sent it off and said that it wouldn't take too long to have repairs made and they would likely replace it with a new gun. Long story short, 7 months later and $160 he now has a rebarreled piece of junk that one barrel still has an ejector that sticks and has a couple new scratches in the stock and a dent in the forearm that happened after it was dropped off for repairs. I'd never own one, customer service was sub par and the ejector problem still isn't fixed.
