Anyone have first hand experience with these? They have piqued my curiosity.

That's a new one for me, gotta say I'm not real fond of the wrist- looks like it could snap real easily if ya sneezed hard!

I found this on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v22y6Lcqh4g

One look at the lever …… well that was not appealing.

I read somewhere that they were being sold down under because the laws hadn't banned them yet and the law makers were trying to add them to the ban list in that country.
I always thought a lever shotgun would be awkward to reload from the shoulder and figured that's why the Winchesters didn't,t stand up to the 97 pump in sales.
After watching the tube videos I think this is a shotgun that will not be passed down in the family by many, Meaning it looks like it could be worn out with everyday use so some one prove me wrong.

A fellow on another forum I’m on got an uzkon lever shotgun. Used it on pigs. Broke most things that could break and wore out quickly (under several thousand rounds.).

He did take hundreds of pigs with it in the less than a year he had it..



But yeah, we’re getting heaps of different shotgun designs here now because no pump/semis. Most infamous is the Adler.
