Is the Adler even any good?

Post by Heckler303 » 19 Aug 2015, 1:33 pm

So much hype regarding the A110 and the political nonsense over it, but is the A110 really a good shotgun that is worth the 800 monies?


I can't find much info on it anywhere, so does anyone know on its quality and such? Chokes, how hard it is to clean, reliability, e.t.c?

I would say it'd be good but realistically no one in Australia has used one so unlikely to get much info on here! Probably similar to clean to a pump action shotgun. (Pain) I have to completely disassemble my old mans 1200 Winchester to clean it properly!

I have wondered this myself. It's cheap, that's not a good sign. However if I had the spare money I would buy one just to stick it to the man.

It looks good on paper.

12Ga 3" Chamber
5 shot tube magazine
Hard chrome bore and chamber
3 x internal screw in chokes
Barrels feature ventilated rib with brass bead
Alloy receiver with 3/8" dovetail rail for optics
Ventilated recoil pad
Turkish Walnut stock
Sling swivels
Weight: 7lbs approx.
3 Year Warranty

And I read somewhere that it has a aluminum reciever

The current exchange rate is one Turkish Lira equals .47 Australian bucks
That might explain why it's so cheap.

I spoke to my lgs today to see if I had to change my order to the 5 shot version to avoid delays and I was told that they are doing that anyhow ( filling all orders with 5 shot versions )

I was also told that no other gun has ever been sold in such quantities before it had even landed here .... 8000 or so on order.

It's a 12 gauge that cycles via a lever, feeds from beneath and ejects out the side... it's good.

well the cheapness might offend the standards of those that think spending more means better quality engraving perhaps or maybe they done something extra loving and caring towards it? special shiny bits lol

But at the end of the day from experience cheap does not mean worse nor does it mean better ?
each product to its own. allot of variables can play part but until we can all give it a solid go we really can not apply any such variables such as "price" and or "quality" of the parts or manufacturing process. my 2 cents ^_^

Are there any forum members here from the US of A, or NZ ???

Or for that matter,, any other country that DOESNT have draconian firearm laws and ill informed idiots trying to tighten a grip. :roll: :roll:

Maybe some experienced answers could then be forthcoming. :unknown:

I personally do not want one of these firearms, but would be interested to get (outside) opinions.

It has been a damm good marketing campain by NIOA.
1 Try to import a illegal mag size (in some States).
2 Create a press and political reaction.
3 Have 7 shot import baned.
4 Take lots of orders.
4 Replace 7 shot mag with 5 shot mag. (now legal all States).
5. Bank the money and supply at a later date.

In my youth l found firearms with high rates of fire led to, poor aim, risky target selection and more wounded game than necessary. Dad would only let us hunt, with single shot firearms. We stalked well and aimed true

Funny that, as in my youth, the opposite was true, but that is probably because I took the fundamentals of accurate shooting taught to me, and applied them to whatever firearm was placed in my hands, As my grandfather taught me over 40 years ago "aim with your eye, not with your finger".

For me it's not a case of whether the Adler is any good, it's legal under Cat A regs so the pollies can bugger off with their fear campaigns to outlaw it.

It's not something I would own ,I respect LAFO's right to choose if they want one.

Agree totally. Its a tool, and ifsomeone is a fit and proper person to own a .22, they are a fit and proper person to own firearms period.

Focus on the who, not the what, and then spend all the freed up cash and resources in areas that it will actually make a difference. Extra customs funding to stop the black market guns coming in would be a good start

I have no experience with lever action shotguns. But lever action rifles in the more common calibers are not very expensive, either.

I haven't used one personally of course, but there are videos of the workshop guys testing and demoing them and they look smooth to run and seem to shoot well.

Time will tell if we ever get our actual hands on one but quality looks to be high from pictures as well.

From watching the Adler arms video on you tube, They seem to be quite ok. According to the video, many options for sights (with rib, breast beads, without rib, phosphoric beads, or tactical bead and adjustable sight) and stock (either syn, walnut with or without a butt extension or tactical stock) would be interested to know if those options are available;e on what NIOA is bringing in. Receiver is hardened aluminum, hard chromed bore and 42 chrome-moly barrel. Seems to have the big tick type gear thrown at it. I guess time will tell about long standing quality and longevity.

maybe a Boito coach gun, just because I should have a SXS in the safe.

We'll see what happens after the "temporary" ban on them.

You know, that one with no end date. That one.

We may not depending on how the argument goes and laws are amended.

Even if the laws are not amended we may not see them. What 'The Brass' is referring to in his brief post is that they have "temporarily" restricted them while they review our firearms act.

But, there is no end date for the temporary restriction or completion on the "review" or deadline for enacting any changes decided by the review.

As it stands its basically banned here already, for the foreseeable future at least.

So it's pretty average. Well, people get what they pay for. All this nonsense from the government for a pretty normal shotgun that'll be used by sporters for blasting clay's and hunters for culling feral pigs and other pests.



Well done Australia.

Still, great review as always, and ozzie has got some serious ball bearings for putting up all of what the does on his channel for all to see.
