Hello recently I came across a 12-gauge semi auto shotgun made BY TRADITIONS
Can any one tell me anything about it? I am low on $$ and I was thinking about getting a Remington (lower end) I came across this one in Sports Authority for 299(399- 100 off) is it good price? If any one owns one or tested one I would really appreciate if you share you experience. I am planning to use it for occasional clay shooting and some duck hunting. I know I should not expect whole lot from 3004 gun but I don?t go for looks but durability
Thanks

  Hi.
  If I were you, I would save my money, and by a good shot gun, not one of the made in Turkey offerings, A friend of mine bought one new, and it wouldn't shoot any brand ammo., for any lenght of time. I checked it out, and found that the lock-up notch in the barrel, is cut at a angle, while the bolt is made square to the center line of the barrel. I checked the head space with gages, and found head space OK. I blued the bolt, and found that the bolt was only hitting one side of the barrel on lock up.I told him to send back to factory. They said sure they could fix it. They sent it back in a couple of weeks, same thing. He sent it back again, and this time they said they put a new bolt in it. It worked for 50 shoots, then quit again.
  He out and bought a used 11-87, and hasn't had a problem since then. Use your on judgement, but thats my .02 cents worth.

  I agree. Save your money and buy a Remington, Browning, or Beretta.
