The ad said turkish walnut wood so likely turkish-made.

I'll probably buy one to see how well it's made.

Title says it all.

I was raised a Cowboy from birth in the late 40's. My Dad was a cowboy that worked many ranches in southern California and Arizona. I have his batwing chaps from the 40's that were made out of Elk hide and I shot in them for many years. About 25 years ago I came across a pair of shotgun chaps made of horse hide. They are light and good looking. Never had any problem moving with either pair while shooting. I was taught that Chinks were made and worn by farriers only.
Chaps were made to protect your legs while riding rough country. Chinks would only protect you upper leg, not where most of the brush will be hitting you while riding.

I've thought about buying one to experiment with, but haven't gotten around to it.

I have tuned many Yildiz shotguns and a few turned out acceptable, most were not. If you're content to go a little slower, the Yildiz will work for you. Like most Turkish made guns their design makes it impossible to set them up to break open easily.
The stoeger, when worked over by a qualified cowboy action gunsmith, can be a very good gun. There is just no telling how long it will last. I've seen some go well over 20 years, and some need help in 6 months

RIP my friend.

In my opinion you have chosen the best starting set of guns for a youngster. The Stoeger is one of the only S x S's that will shuck shells reliably.

I won't be able to make it and need something picked up from Beaver.
Thank you,

He beat me to it this morning !!
I run around in the Desert a lot and it'll make a good truck gun that I don't mind beating up. Plus I'll probably cut it down to 16"

Do they make a 28 gauge 97, I could hold 8 at one time.
I think that you need to check the arthritis in you hands before making a statement like this. Just saying

The poster has already established HIS Stoeger has way more lever travel required to open it than normal.. If he just takes the travel (opening angle) back to what the factory standard angle is, and still has lots of engagement, he may have no problem with it opening on recoil. Any of this work is risky, yes, but the OP has already shown us that he has the metal working skills to understand and fix the lock opening problem should it occur. And that he knows how to test for tendencies of the action to open on firing.
This is not something I would recommend for a first-time tuner to attempt.
My GUESS is that the factory did not properly fit the sliding lock engagement properly when they built it (leaving too much metal engagement).
good luck, GJ
Stoeger makes the parts and assembles them, apparently, without any fitting. I find different parts not fit well in almost every Stoeger that i handle

Stoegers are notorious for blowing open after the first shot. There are ways to fix that, but what you are proposing is a way to make blowing open a bigger possibility.

I still have one of those from when I was shooting benchrest 25 years ago. It's a great measure, I wish I could think of something to use it for.
