Never had a problem with mine. Not sure I trust someone who forgets to take the packing material off the charging handle or thinks it's part of the gun. Use high brass shells for a semi auto.
Look, I shouldn’t need to use 28 grains of green dot in a shell to get rounds to cycle. However I will say semi automatics need 50 and a clean before I start passing judgement on reliability. Don’t judge the man he’s only Canadian.
These are Turkish shotguns, they are shipped with shipping oil, not function oil, this is with all Turkish shotguns. Before you use them, you need to take them apart, clean it and lube them with function oil. Then you need to break them in, it's one of the reason they are so cheap, you need to fire 50 to 100 rounds of minimum 1200 fps ammo. Once that is done, they work fantastic. I have a citadel boss hog, it also has the same reputation like all Turkish imports. I modified mine by adding a ATI T3 gun stock and a 8 round magazine tube. Since day one, not one single failure to fire and I am well past 800 rounds through it.
Word. Spray some Gun Scrubber on the guts and wipe it off and use a light oil on it. 1 1/8 ounce high brass loads for 100 rounds and they're good to go. Most of these Turkish autos need a good cleaning out of the box. I've found metal dust and particles from machining that wasn't blown off before shipping oil/grease was applied for the container ship ride over here. This guy freaked out and didn't give this gun a chance. And I know damn well he never disassembled it and cleaned the smegma off the action before shooting it.
@@Diemerstein Absolutely. I have a few Turkish made autos and they always go bang and eject the shell. I've been using them more lately and leaving the "Better" guns in the safe.
I had the same problem and figured out it’s the fore grip . Make sure the foregrip is fitted in the grove and not touching the spring. I shot about 100 rounds without and problems
@geartuber i find when the foregrip is seated in properly is wiggles forward and back about 1/4 inch. I just rested it against the wall insgesd of seating the grip right in. Took away the wobble
Seen that first look at it and headed to the comments to see if someone else noticed 🤣 Can’t win em all! That woulda been a MEGA sized handle I can’t wait I’m gonna buy this bad boy for our turkey / waterfowl pattern test series we will get to the bottom of what it can do 🕺🏼🇺🇸
Maybe break it in with some good shells...it's amazing how many gas operated guns from big manufacturers do this. So many TH-cam "professionals" get these out of the box and does this and it's jUnK...you didn't even know it had a bolt protector...don't forget your purse when you leave the range...
I’m getting one for our turkey / waterfowl pattern test series I’m stoked nothing but good things we have heard and it’s been requested a bunch from our subs to test
Most of the less expensive Turkish gas shotguns tell you to run a box of high brass shells through it, to break it in/seat everything properly. THEN, you can start running target loads through it.
any gas driven and not inertia shotgun u get will have hang fires or not eject shells at first when it is brand new and you are breaking it in it is completely normal and u have to shoot bigger shells with more power (high brass or whatever u can get) for it to break in once it throws the action back and breaks in u can shoot any shells in it. but Benelli are inertia driven so they don’t have that problem. so it if the only thing “wrong” with the gun is trigger pull i’d say it’s a pretty nice little gun for $300.
Thanks for the video I had different issues with my 601 last year in the duck hole.. not even sure what went wrong I shot half a box through the gun and then bam the welds broke on the action itself.. took it to the hardware store that I got it from and they sent it off to chippea and I got it back within a month. I want to get more educated on the gas piston. But I think the gun has potential for the price point .. I bought a stoeger m3000 the next week and haven't had any issues with it and frankly I probably will never pick up the 601 again.
I bought 2 different models of the 601 platform I've found they don't tighten the barrel lug right. You have to disassemble it and wipe all the factory oil off before you use em. Once you properly lube and tighten everything down correctly they function pretty reliably. The only one I had problems with was out of the box wouldn't cycle. Took the thing apart and found it was a loose barrel but making it not have a gas seal and short stroking it. It looks like the same thing here. Now if you know nothing about guns or how to field strip them go buy a high dollar gun and use that warrenty when it jams due to carbon fouling.
I noticed play in my barrel where it meets the receiver area. Is this what your talking about ? When I say okay I don’t mean an insane amount. Just a little jiggle barely enough to notice. My other semis don’t do this so I try to find ppl that have this “issue”
Should be doing a disassemble on any new gun and clean the factory shipping oil off of it. They put this on to protect the firearm from possible salt sea air exposure during shipping and sitting on a dealers rack or back room for extended periods of time.
Good review. Im still tempted to try and get one to function reliably for a truck and skidoo gun($300CDN at a local shop) . Sometimes its fun to try and polish a turd. LOL
I would try a different brand of ammo. I've shot all the cheap stuff, including 2000+ rounds in my 1980s Beretta. I've only ever had two malfunctions with that shotgun and they were both from the same box of Challenger. Worst cheap ammo on the Canadian market. Thanks for the video though. Nice editing. I couldn't find much about these anywhere else online. PS: you're not experiencing hangfire. That's a totally different and dangerous malfunction. I'd call that FTE - Failure to Eject
failure to feed, not a hang fire. hang fire is where it goes off after the firing pin hits the primer and you think it was a misfire but then it goes off.
@@ToughCountry literally just took it apart, did nothing else - no cleaning or oiling, put it back together and now it works lol tried to look for anything that was jammed or dirty but didn't see anything. We'll see how it works here on out
You shoot literally 13 rounds and declare it’s a bad shotgun and will never shoot it again. What a noob for not even taking the packing material off the gun before shooting.
Did you thoroughly clean and lubricate the gun before shooting? Did you fire quality made heavy loads or no-name pussy fart dove shot? Lotsa semi-autos require a "break-in" period to function properly but most of the hatchet job videos I've watched conveniently skip that procedure in favor of jumping on the hate bandwagon...
We call this series first shot review because it’s our thoughts after the first shot. I understand we should break it in but that defeats the purpose of our style of video.
all guns should be disassembled, cleaned, re-lube and tightened before use. even benelli's, beretta's, whichester, etc. no one should ever buy a gun and without cleaning go hunting with the weapon. gun manufactures over lube, because they do not know how long it may sit on a shelf and if it sits to long, it accumulates dust, because of the oil.
Sorry to say that these guns are junk. If you look inside the receiver you will notice that the bolt carrier slams into the receiver frame when fired, no bolt buffer like the other major brands have installed in them. If you shoot magnum loads it won’t last 500 rounds. I say this from experience, I have a 601 here in the corner now with this receiver issue. It now will not fully charge the shells. Also the pin from the bolt slid down and the bolt carrier bent it, due to the carrier traveling to far back into the receiver. If anyone don’t trust me then go buy one and try it for yourself, you will be upset after a short period of time.
My grandpa just bought this gun and the barrel won’t even go all the way into the receiver (I have no knowledge about guns) bottom part of the barrel too big to fit in the notch in the receiver
Never had a problem with mine. Not sure I trust someone who forgets to take the packing material off the charging handle or thinks it's part of the gun. Use high brass shells for a semi auto.
Pretty sure he thinks that’s part of the gun. It’s just a protected and in the box.

Don’t judge the man he’s only Canadian.
100% said the same thing to my self on all issues. Lol
@@BibleBeltSkunk Yup, everything he said and did was irrelevant if he can't figure that out.
I have one and love it I’ve probably run over 600 rounds through it since April 2022 till now September 2022 and the thing has been flawless for me

I had trouble cycling too, until I went to high brass ammo. I noticed you were using target ammo. I haven't had trouble since.

Most of the less expensive Turkish gas shotguns tell you to run a box of high brass shells through it, to break it in/seat everything properly. THEN, you can start running target loads through it.
Makes total sense, thanks for sharing this info!
Any suggestions on an ammo to break-in?
@@triph4any ammo you suggest?

Lol can’t believe he thought the rubber grommet was part of the gun.
I have one. Definetely needed to be broken in, cleaned, and oiled for the fisrt couple of times out.
Thanks for the video I had different issues with my 601 last year in the duck hole.. not even sure what went wrong I shot half a box through the gun and then bam the welds broke on the action itself.. took it to the hardware store that I got it from and they sent it off to chippea and I got it back within a month.

Wow that sounds wild!! Sounds like the customer service was fairly good but that’s too bad about the welds on the action.
Jaygoods always fire !! 🔥👊🤘❤️ WEOUTCHERE !!
you also need to run high brass, it will run better
Over size bolt knob? lol, that is for shipping. Not a bolt knob.

Typically we do wipe our guns down before use, but did not for this one, which we also assumed might be the issue.
@@ToughCountry Maybe do an update after cleaning and running some high brass shells through to break it in. Just a suggestion.
@@mopesrus7266 We will do this!

You have to shoot high brass
Get a winchester super x..369 or so. Ran 200 rounds through it right outta the box. Cheers brotha
We will give this a go!!
you need to shoot more and its a great shotgun seriously after 50 round it shoot better the spring need to break up a little
Mine is a 4 pulse 1
Did you run a few patches down the barrel and oil the bolt before shooting it. Ya know factory grease,
Yes we did!
Theres a huge difference between a failure to feed and a "hang fire."
Good review. Im still tempted to try and get one to function reliably for a truck and skidoo gun($300CDN at a local shop) . Sometimes its fun to try and polish a turd. LOL
Thank you!! It’s not a bad little fire arm for the price.
Could different brand of shells or shots have a an impact on the chamber loading issue?
Very possible!
Yes

Thanks for the clear up!
Don't you have to put at least 100 shot shells through it first before saying ?
Technically yes but our review system is based off of fresh out of the box for all the firearms we do videos on.
That's want happen when you use cheap shells use high brass rounds you won't have that problem again
Was all of the hangers with low brass or both low and high?
It was with low brass. After running 200 rounds through it has gotten a lot better.
Nice... @@ToughCountry
updated review coming any time soon?
