There is truth to that. But all the YouTube videos I have seen were positive on the Turkish shotguns .
THIS is why Mossberg is superior...

I purchased a new from BCM DMR 410 stainless ( not 410 guage but 410 grade Stainless in 5.56. It's the same barrel some military DMR barrels are. Built to spec.. It would only cycle lakeside 5.56 ammo or any other green tip ammo. Wouldn't feed Hornady, Federal, Black Hills or any other 5.56 or .223. I imagine it just needed the chamber cleaned up. That barrel cost a good bit of cabbage 400 dollar range. Moral of the story is no matter how great the company is you go with you will eventually run into a hick up.
What did that shotgun cost 324 bucks?
I just looked it up my guess was 1.00 dollar off. 325.00 retail.
The 20 gauge shockwave aint fun either. OK with light field load.
Put good buck in there. Nope.
Everyone's experience is different. You got a bad one. I'm not saying no company puts out every item perfect. You are right that they're clones. But as the saying goes "A copy will never be better than the original". The cheaper parts have less quality, loose tolerances, VERY MINIMAL quality control, etc.
I am partially guilty of just about buying one of those cheap shotguns. I actually ordered one from Buds Gun Shop. Right after I ordered it I walked through the classifieds once again to make sure I didn't miss anything. I found a FN Police Tactical Shotgun. Had ghost ring sights with ports in front of the front sight post and after the sight post. I immediately canceled the order. The FN is smooth as butter and shoots like a dream. I had ordered two guns and cancelled both to get the better gun.
I would buy a mossberg just to shoot at it with my 870.
I had a Mossberg with adj. stock, ghost ring sights, ports and a strap on the pump. I had been looking for one just like it for a couple years but couldn't find one. The FN was the closest in features and is a finer gun IMHO.
A pistol brace makes the Shockwave much more enjoyable but the safety location would still be an issue. SBS that sucker and be done with it IMHO. $200 well spent.And learn to shoot it one handed….without crying !!
