I'm thinking of getting the Yildiz SPZ ME/20 20 Gauge Over-and-Under Shotgun from Academy. It would be my first one. There was a guy on this forum a while back that if you sent him your new gun he'd get it working great, I believe he did trigger work etc. Does anyone know who he is and if he still does it. Also, your thoughts on the 20 ga.
Thank you.
Welcome to the forum. That was SGRSS20, I bought a used .410 ME from from him. It was a great transaction and the gun is wonderful. SGRSS20 was in poor health a few months ago. He still comes around and chimes in on occasion, but is no longer selling used Y-guns from Academy.
There is a link here for contacting Academy and workign with your local FFL to ship a gun. My hunting buddy is contemplating a purchase from Academy using this method.
I have had my Yildiz 20 gauge for a few months now. My sons and I have shot 7 or 8 rounds of sporting clays with it with no problems so far. The factory trigger is good enough for me, so I haven't sent it off to have any work done.
SGRSS20 hand filed some of the parts to smooth out the action. the ejectors are wonderful and seemed to be timed very well (the hulls end up about 1 ft apart on the ground if you just let them fly...)
That's right Y that's how they do it....that is, did it.....bought mine this past winter shipped to Pa. I am hearing and reading that Academy has indeed changed their policy (again) and won't ship out of state .
Wing, if you figure that out I might have to talk with you about a .410. I would pay a reasonable fee to have person pick a nice looking gun and ship it to my ffl. When I bought my 20 from academy they had a third party use gift cards to buy my gun and then shipped it to my ffl. This seems like the same idea.

Might have to figure that out as a way to work into that little 28ga I've been eying...
