Well Shooters that is what it says on the invoice from Safari Firearms Sydney NSW AUST.
PTA approved and only days away according to NSW Firearms registry.
So have I done the right thing?
.Warned off the cheap lever actions by a few mates who have them.
.Scrub Gun.
.Do want to fire slugs at ferals.
.Also lighten up and BB for fox Etc.
Not many reviews around so happy for any input.

Keen to know also, after a recent run in with an adler it's ruled out levers for me, pretty fond of my recently aquired bolt 12g though :D

I handled one at the Melbourne arms and militaria fair, it was very light and pointed well. Should be well suited for hunting, that being said, I didn't shoot it so I'll be interested in your thoughts.

Good call with the walnut mate.

Looks 100x better than their synthetic.

When I spoke to the owner of the shotgun (the exact one in the video I believe) he spoke quite highly of it, especially in comparison to the adler. It's certainly no Beretta but for the money its looks quite good.

I am not going to bother with any of these Turkish Lever actions. As far as I am concerned, they are over-all crap in their build and function for the prices asking.


Turkey supports ISIS as well. Whatever money we pay for these will go back to the Kebab's terrorist funding pot.

That said, the money from your norinco was funneled to north Korea's nuke program.
Better get my tinfoil hat!



Nup, my Norinco was made in South America, and was a pass down upon pass-down from a couple of owners. So the original owner paid for the ongoing socialism that is slowly destroying their country.


Thank god for the Australian, British and American milsurps in the safe to counteract! :P

Whilst I'm no fan of Turkey myself, wasn't it the American government that created ISIL to topple the Assad regime?

How was a Norinco made in south America.
Think you may be a bit lost there.
The China North Industries Corporation, officially abbreviated as Norinco, is a Chinese company that manufactures vehicles (trucks, cars and motorcycles), machinery, optical-electronic products, oil field equipment, chemicals, light industrial products, explosives and blast materials, civil and military firearms and ammunition. Norinco is also involved in domestic civil construction projects.

Hey Milesy, just wondering if you ended up getting the SHS? I had a look at both the SHS and the Pardus BA-12 today at the local gunshop. Oldmate at the shop wasn’t to impressed with the quality of the Pardus, the left hand bolt pull was already bent, seemed pretty poor quality/flimsy. Which had me thinking If you can’t even make a decent bolt handle what’s the rest of the internals going to be like...
The SHS seemed a lot more solid but didn’t have a magazine like the Pardus. First world problems I know hahaha.
Anyone else got any experience with these things? (Not interested in Adlers)
Cheers Grover.

Been a while in the safe but finally gave this SHS a run for its money.
Really happy for $900 bucks ran bird shot,BBs,OOSG and 1oz solids around 300 rounds in total in two days in around 50/80 round bursts with the mates purely hitting various targets and kicking the can starting at say 20 meters and seeing who got it out further after 5 rounds. A lot of fun but in essence was looking for some sort of fail with the cheap Turk.
No fail. The Straight Pull program is a bunch of fun and with 5 solids in quick succession I would rate it highly a quad style Pig Gun.
Haven’t seen many posts since my first so I don’t thing there are many in the market but wow great Cat A Plinker.
