Filtered by:. Previous template Next. I was in academy today and sitting up on the gun rack was a shotgun, automatic, max 5 camo, and shoots 3. It greatly resembled a Beretta, but the price was somewhat off compared to its pricey identical twin.

The guy said that it was a Turkish gun and was made by a company called ATA. I have personally never heard of them, but I usually don't venture to far off from Benelli and Remington, but the gun did catch my eye. I shouldered it and it felt comfortable and it seemed to be a solid gun. I like everything so far about it, but was wondering about the quality and durability of the gun. I was also wondering what chokes does the gun use. I've done read everything from Benelli crio to you will need to have chokes custom made.

I would appreciate any info and personal experience with this gun. Thanks, Chase. Tags: None. I was curious to find out a little more so I did some YouTube searches and to tell you the truth after a hour of information I'm kind of impressed. Once in a while you get a product that newly introduced and you can get value for a while. This may or may not be an example of that!

Many times most times you get what you pay for and the low price tag concerns me but sometimes a thing comes along that may be a good deal. I would like to see and pick up one of these shotguns and see how it points and feels. They are gas operated which some hunter like and some don't but I like to keep my guns clean so I like the gas operation. Thanks for the heads up I'll be looking for one of these on the shelf. There is some solid products that come out of Turkey , this may be one!

They have a two year warranty so you could by four of them for the price of a Beretta and when one breaks just throw it away.

That way you have a guaranteed 8 year warranty and by buying them one at a time as needed you would likely experience a lifetime warranty. I don't know their choke threading pattern but they come with three choke tubes so that should be all you need. You would have to try other after-market choke tubes for fit but I wouldn't be surprised that you could find a match if you wanted another choke tube.

I question whether the ATA will be as good as a Beretta with regard to recoil reduction but would have to shoot it to tell. It would be wonderful if the ATA had such wonderful recoil but I doubt it. That said, the forend did have considerably more pattern than the buttstock.

Checkering was done mechanically in a sensible conservative pattern designed to provide a good grip yet not dominate the overall looks of the gun. The low-gloss finish did not fully fill the wood grain, much like on many European guns. The buttplate was thin checkered wood designed not to snag when being raised against a field jacket. Inside, the stock and barrels are in velvet sleeves, and a small plastic box houses the chokes and choke wrench.

The thin manual covers only the basics of gun assembly and disassembly and includes helpful schematics showing all the interior gun parts. The warranty is for two years. When handling the gun, I at first noticed the weight of 7 pounds 6 ounces. This is a touch heavy for a gauge for active field carry. The weight is a little more noticeable, because a good bit of it is forward in the barrels, with the balance point about one inch in front of the hinge.

The 30" barrels would make it even more noticeable. Still, this is not a disabling balance, and guns that are slightly heavy up front do swing smoothly on the longer shots for which the 12 gauge is so well suited. Shooting the gun produced no surprises. Everything worked as it should. The mechanical trigger always set the second sear, even with very light reloads. Ejectors threw the empties about 10 feet. The gun was easy to break down and reassemble. The screw chokes were flush, so they had to be tightened with a wrench, but that ensured that they would stay put.

While heavier than I would like for hill-and-dale, all-day carry, the ATA SP Elegant Sideplate Game Gun would be very nice for stand-and-deliver shooting at doves, pheasants and even waterfowl.

The gun is reliable, attractive and most definitely priced right when compared to comparable Berettas and Brownings. It will be a very interesting gun in 20 gauge.

For more information, contact ATA Arms. But, of course will have to see and hold before a decision can be made. The other consideration about pricing would be, are they priced to their actual quality or does the price take advantage of the craziness of the times shortages? Hi Bruce, Dale above again. You should check out the new Turkish guns by Dickinson Arms. These guns are outstanding shotguns quality is excellent. NOTE: Allow the bolt to slam forward. Slowly riding the bolt forward may not allow the bolt head to rotate into battery, causing a misfire.

To unload a shell from the chamber, pull the bolt handle rearward to extract the shell and let the bolt return forward. To unload the magazine, press up on the carrier and rest your thumb on the cartridge case head. Next, press the bolt release button. This will eject a shell safely out of the magazine. Repeat step 3 until the magazine is empty.

Lock the bolt back by pressing the cartridge release button and then pulling the bolt handle rearward until the bolt locks in the place. Visually confirm that there are no shot shells remaining in the magazine or chamber. Do not install the cable lock in the trigger guard; always keep your fingers and cable lock outside the trigger guard during device installation. Do not attempt to work the action of your firearm with the cable lock in place; this may damage your firearm.

While cable locks are an important aid to security measures, they are not a substitute for safe firearm handling and proper storage. Remember that any mechanical device can be bypassed with enough time, knowledge, determination and equipment. Your NEO semi-automatic shotgun comes with one cable lock.

Next be sure the shotgun is unloaded. Then, pull the bolt rearward until you can safely insert the cable through the ejection port and out the magazine well. Next, with the key turned to the farthest clockwise position, insert the loose end of the cable into the padlock. To lock, turn the key counterclockwise and remove the key.

Once the lock is securely closed, pull firmly on the lock to test the connection and be sure it is locked. Store your locked unloaded firearm and the key in two separate secure locations — away from ammunition, children, and other unauthorized adults. Do not use a cartridge that is longer than the maximum cartridge length that is stamped on the barrel. The use of reloaded or substandard commercially produced ammunition will affect your warranty coverage and could result in severe injury to the shooter or others nearby.

WARNING The accidental loading and discharge of shells of the wrong gauge in your gun can result in damage to your gun and possible injury or death to you or others.

To be safe at all times, carry only the proper gauge ammunition with you for the gun you are using. WARNING Firearms may be damaged and serious personal injury or death to the shooter or bystanders may result from any condition which contributes to the generation of excessive pressure or uncontrolled release of gas within the firearm.

Such adverse conditions can be caused by bore or chamber obstructions, propellant powder overloads or by defective, incorrect or improperly loaded and assembled cartridge components. Even the strongest firearm can be blown up as a result of excessive pressure.

It is extremely dangerous to use a cartridge whose pressure is greater than that developed by cartridges loaded to industry standards. Do not spray or apply lubricants directly on ammunition. Firing a subsequent cartridge into the obstructed bore will damage the shotgun and may cause personal injury to the shooter and those nearby. Use lubricants properly. You are responsible for the proper care and maintenance of your firearm ammunition.

Hit the shell latch and pull the bolt to the rear. Then the bolt will be locked in the rearward position. Check the chamber and mag tube to make sure there is no ammunition in the shotgun. Unscrew and remove the magazine cap by rotating it counter-clockwise. Remove the forend. Remove the barrel, with either the bolt closed or in the open position. Make sure the trigger assembly is in the cocked position with the safety on prior to removing the trigger assembly from the receiver.

Do NOT pull the trigger while the trigger assembly is outside of the receiver. If you removed the barrel with the bolt in the open position, push the bolt release button while holding onto the bolt handle and SLOWLY let the bolt go forward.

Using the punch, remove the trigger guard pin. Then pull the trigger assembly out. No further disassembly of your shotgun is necessary for routine maintenance and cleaning.

Our service department or a competent gunsmith should only perform any further disassembly. An exploded view of the disassembled shotgun is shown in Fig. Your state may not require this plug to be used so it may be removed. To remove the plug, follow these steps. Unscrew and remove the magazine cap by rotating it counter-clockwise Refer to Fig. Remove the magazine capacity plug from the magazine tube by pulling it straight out Fig. Replace the magazine cap on the magazine tube by screwing it into place.

Semi-auto shotguns require more cleaning than any other type of shotgun, because of their gas operated construction. Periodically, clean the bore with proper cleaning equipment. Oil all metal surfaces lightly with high quality gun oil.

Never pour oil into any inside mechanisms. If you will be storing your shotgun for long periods of time, apply gun grease to all metal parts, store the shotgun in a dry, and secure area.

When you clean the shotgun, make sure the muzzle is not plugged with any heavy grease that would cause a barrel obstruction. Follow procedures for unloading the shotgun as described previously. Follow procedures for disassembly of the shotgun as described previously. Materials needed to clean this shotgun are: a cleaning rod, cotton bore patches, brass bore brush, powder solvent, a small soft brush and good quality gun oil.

Using the bore brush with powder solvent, scrub the interior of the barrel and chamber to remove any powder and lead residue in the bore. Always and lastly, swab the interior of the barrel with cotton patch with gun oil to coat and protect the bore and chambers from rust and corrosion. Any powder fowling on the firing wall, barrel, etc. All external surfaces should be wiped down with a light coat of rust preventative.

Avoid using too much oil as powder, dust or other foreign material may get trapped in the oil. This could lead to congealed deposits which may interfere with the safe and reliable operation of the shotgun. Be sure to wipe away all excess solvent and then lubricate with oil. A gun should be cleaned after firing. In addition, external parts should be wiped with an oiled cloth after handling. A light oil is ordinarily all that is necessary in cleaning if the gun has not been fired or fired very little.

If a gun is used frequently, it must be cleaned after each firing and regularly serviced by a professional gunsmith. Always check to be sure that no cleaning patch or other obstruction remains in the bore or chambers before firing. Those who clean firearms should take protective measures to avoid contact or exposure to such chemicals.

It is your duty to make sure any parts you buy are correctly installed and that neither replacements nor originals are altered or changed. Your gun is a complex tool with many parts that must relate correctly to other parts for safe and accurate operation. Putting a gun together wrong or with modified parts can result in a damaged gun, or personal injury or death to you or others. Always let a qualified gunsmith work on your gun or at least, check any work not performed by a gunsmith.
