Re: Yildiz Shotguns
BTW, I forgot to mention that I have a Yildiz O/U 12 Gauge that I absolutely LOVE! I have never had a single problem with my O/U, and I would highly recommend Yildiz if you are in the market for a double gun.

Re: Yildiz Shotguns
Academy is the importer of the Yildiz shotgun, therefore they are listed as the manufacturer. That is why they have you bring the shotgun back to them to have the shotgun sent off for repairs.
On another note, I purchased one of the new semi-auto Yildiz 12 gauges from Academy around the first part of December. The first time I took it duck hunting, I had a problem with the spent shells not being ejected from the chamber. After each shot I had to pull them out by hand. I did that about 10 times and then one finally ejected by itself. I was releieved and kept hunting. The very next shot I took I missed, so I fired a second shot. When I pulled the trigger on that second shot, chamber exploded. The bolt was blown back so hard that it got stuck, and the trap door on the bottom where you load the shells was blown completely off. The trap door missed my leg by about 1/8" and cut a nice hole right through the leg of my waders. it turns out that the shell from the first shot was not completely ejected, but the second shell was picked up by the bolt. The first shell kept the bolt from closing all the way, but the gun still fired when I pulled the trigger on the second shell. In the end the only casualties were a pair of neoprene waders and my nerves. I took the gun back to Academy, and it is going in to the 4th week waiting on the repair. I called them today and they told me that it was still at Briley's.
