Re: Kel Tec Shotgun New? Unique ?

[Biggfoot44]

There I was 'surfing , came across the UTA 12 , mfg by UTAS from Turkey . 12ga pump, synthetic frame, dual 7 rd mags, selective. Makes you go huh ?

Some people have a cow with Turkish shotguns...I guess the fact of shooting a Turkey Gun Made in Turkey is too funky for some. If it goes boom everytime....that will make me go Huh??

I had one Turkish shotgun imported by CDD....i never shot it but it had a great feel to it and smoot

 

[Biggfoot44]

I'm open minded about Turkish guns. It's the marketing impression that it is a product of Kel Tec CNC Mfg's R&D , rather than a rebranded Turkish import.

Got a link? I doubt the Turks are big on plastic shotguns.

I'm too Luddite to do links either. Google it. The specs and pics look just like what we think of as a KT. It's not the rebranding per se, it's the secrecy. For example Spring field was initialy open that XD's were Croatian , and Rem that M798,M799 were Mark X bbl actions, even bragged about it.

That Turkish gun isn't likely coming here. I saw one blog and it said the gun isn't importable under ATF rules.

Perhaps there was sharing of info, to develop the gun?

 

[clandestine]

I heard that gun would be near $2K if imported.

Kind of looks like an HK G11 made into a shotgun.

That shotgun the magazine tubes are above the barrel, compared to keltec's which are below. It appears to have to be opened up to load any ammo, where the keltec shotgun can be loaded without opening the action up. Seems the Keltec is a much better design, even at a quick glance.

KelTec wasn't even close to being the first to try this - dual-tube bullpup shotguns have been around since at least the 1970s:

Looks like it'll be available stateside, too.

Supposedly, the UTAS gun is a modified Neostead copy, too.

Well, the imported gun was a no go based on the sporting use clause.

If they find a domestic facility to make it, great.

I watched the vids on it. IT looks cools, but not very left-handed shooter friendly.

Will you be carrying the LEO module with the light and laser?
