I have had mine nearly 2 months now. It's an excellent choice for home defense and loads of fun to shoot at the range.
Glad you think so, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
What shells run best for gfz
There was no way I was leaving without one..It was love at first sight and for the price you can't beat it
It's here! One of our most requested teardown videos for our valued customers. Thanks for your patience and we are excited to bring you this video on how to teardown your GForce Arms GFY-1 Semi-Automatic Shotgun. Sound off in the comments if you have this firearm, we want to hear from you and your experiences.
This is not the same setup as the GFZ. Please make a separate video
I was a little worried about this teardown without a video. Thank You!
I commented a couple of years ago. I have something scary to relate about my Bullpup. This is something that needs to be told.
I went to pick up my shotgun so I could remove her teeth. I lost my grip and she hit the deck from knee height seated butt first and “slam fired”. She put a charge of 00 Buck through the roof of my man cave with the safety engaged. Thankfully I was alone and unhurt and my man cave is out away from my house.I don’t know if this is an isolated incident or if it is a design issue. I post this as a warning in case it is a design issue. Be careful and do not let it happen to you.
So I've had this for about a month and so far this thing is a beast. It's worth it, no ejection issues it just eats. It hasn't cared what brass I've ran threw it. Already ran 300 plus shells threw it I'm in love
Yes first watching the video made me nervous but now I can follow the video to make sure I’m doing it correctly 😅🤙🏻
Just ordered one of these! I can't wait to get it in my hands and try it out.
Just bought one yesterday. Can't wait!
Good Job YOUNG MAN Very CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS EASY TO FOLLOW THANK YOU
Just got one, loved the idea of a semi auto bullpup for a shotgun
Any malfunctions with different loads? How do you like it? Considering a few bullpup semi-auto shotties. It's between this and Black Aces.
@@velocitydreamer They're all the same inner parts from Turkeys military surplus from what I've seen. This one, Rock Island, ati bulldog, dp12, black aces, and the radikal one are all the same inner parts. The shell is just about the only difference it seems.
It runs just fine with high brass / express 00 and 000. Don't try to run anything lowbrass or it will jam or not cycle at all
@velocitydreamer the only thing that I've had problems cycling is some shells winchester but everything else ran through with no problems. I haven't tried my slugs yet. I have the one from armelegant
I got one a couple of weeks ago and took it out for the first time today. I was using the cheapest 00 buck I could find at over 1300fps (Rio Buckshot 9P). No misfires, and bolt locked to the rear every time the mag was empty. I only used the modified choke today, but they grouped at around 5 inches at 25 yards. Also, the recoil wasn’t as bad as I imagined it might be. Day one - I’m a satisfied customer.
If you want to read something scary about the GF-1, read my most recent comment. Nothing like that has ever happened before. I am 51 and have been using shotguns since I was 7 years old.
I have mine for a little while now had no problems with it shooting wise love it 🔥🔥
Saw one at my lgs yesterday. Bought some ammo but decided to research this lil bad boy. Looks badass!
Love mine. Very fun weapon!
Just ordered mine from Carolina Gunrunners - cant wait to get my hands on it
I've been searching for this video for weeks! Love my gfy-1!
Glad you found it!! Cheers and welcome to the GForce Family!
Good job with the instruction. This is very helpful.
I ordered 1 and waiting for it to arrive any day now. Thanks for this video I'm going to need it 👍🏿
Just got 1, I love it 👍🏾
Nice job... Thank you.
I absolutely LOVE mine! 2nd most fun to shoot my collection. My CZ Scorpion takes the cake. But for s Shotty, Cant beat it.
Aside from the charging handle location and the safety location, that is identical to my ATI Bulldog.
The Bulldog comes with an AR style non-reciprocating charging handle, which is the only thing I don't like about it,, so I fitted my own charging handle on the right side of the upper, by slotting the cover next to the actuating rod, and drilled and tapped the rod to accept a 1/4 inch bolt. The ATI is a flawless performer .
Cool Gun!
Thank you for this 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thanks for your patience! Hope this helps a ton.
Comprehensive and well done video. Thank you. I received one of these from a guy to trouble shoot. Turns out the first shells he tried to use were low brass and at the bottom of the range for velocity. Did a DCOA, it had never had an initial cleaning. Looked like it had been dipped in 30 weight. Cleaned it out, lubed it properly, told him to get better/higher velocity high brass shells. Mechanically nice, but entirely unimpressed with the fitment. You can tell these are turned out very quickly with little attention paid to detail.
Thanks for your honest feedback. Our firearms are manufactured in Turkey, the largest importer of firearms in the US. We highly recommend cleaning them once they are bought, as the grease they are shipped with typically dries out a bit being overseas during shipping periods which can be months. We also recommend 100 rounds to "break-in" the guns, with 1300FPS or higher velocity ammo.
Shot mine for first time yesterday and loved it. Not a single issue with cycling through. I put maybe 75 rounds through it and fired flawlessly. Only recommendation I would have is maybe a little thicker recoil pad. It turned some heads at the range though.
Glad to hear it, thanks for writing in. Cheers!
Got it apart and cleaned it well, however on reassembly the front pin will not go in the hole despite being properly aligned. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I recently purchased one a few weeks ago. The pictograph tear down instructions may as well be written in a foreign language. Thank you for putting out your tutorial. I was blind as a bat on how to tear down my Bullpup. She is my first tactical shotgun purchased for home defense.
We are working on new manuals soon to be downloadable from our website!! Thanks for your thoughts.
Quick question: Where can I find tubes and chokes? My full choke and buck tube don't fit for some reason. Took everything back where I made my purchase and was told to contact the manufacturer. Is it possible to send me your web address? I have nothing about it in the literature sent with my shotgun.
@@daemonwhitebeard6590 Our shotguns accept Mobil Benelli chokes. You'll first need to remove the current choke in your firearm to insert a new one. If you still experience difficulty using this info, please contact support and we'd be happy to help. gforcearms.com/service
I went on line and found a ported buck tube that is made for the choke system on my shotgun. It is on the way as I type. The info you sent was a god send. It made it a lot easier to find what I need.
I just got mine today in the American flag cerakote! Can't wait to go shoot it 😎
Great video, I had no trouble with the teardown. One question tho. My safety lever is very hard to move. I have to use both hands on either side of the gun to turn the safety off and on. I lubricated it but it did not help much. Can the safety lever be removed and see what is the problem is? On other sights, people are also complaining about the stiff safety lever.
Can pic rails be attached to the lateral sides?
Great video. This will be very helpful. Can anyone point me in the direction of a video detailing how to clean and oil it?
I have had mine for about 3 months but havent had the time to shoot but its sitting right next to 200 rounds of winchester waiting for me to hit the range.
Where I got mine, I also purchased 20 round banana magazine. Right now, a box of 25 are split between it and a pair of 5 round magazines. She is home defense. Haven't had a chance to cut loose at a range. Can't wait.
My castle nut and/or barrel nut is not loosening. I'm "tightening" in a clockward fashion to go with the reverse threads. I've had to get a 3/4" lock nut wrench, the one that it came with is practically stripped. Flipped the tools on to counter then use body weight to push whole assembly down and nothing. PB Blaster. I have not torched the nut.... any other ideas would be really great. About to reach out to GForce aswell.
Anyone have trouble getting the cylinder choke into the barrel? I can get fill and modified in but cylinder won’t slide in...
I just got mine in tactical grey 😀, is there a cheek riser I can get for this?
Have it
when i lock my bolt to the rear, the piston falls forward, is it suppose to do that freely?
Was wondering where I could fine parts broke the loading block
Trying to do my first deep clean up, I cannot separate my piston cap from the piston... Any help would be appreciated.
Just got one
Thanks for the support and welcome to the family.
My gas coupling has a O ring in it. How do you buy more since that’s a wear item?
What do I use if I don’t got that tool ? ?
I have the GFY 1-usa i’m just wondering have you had any issues with low powered ammo Great video on the takedown and reassemble
We recommend 1400FPS or higher velocity ammo for the GFY-1. After 100 rds you can go as low as 1300FPS.
Will the American Flag edition be in production again? I am ready to purchase this in TG as well.
What’s the difference between the GFZ and the GFY-1?
so i got one and i having a problem with the getting the receiver box off have some cleaner on it now hope that helps was wondering if its safe to use a rubber mallet is safe to try the other takedown vid i saw it just slit off for him looks like i am lucky ":P
Rubber mallet or ask a buddy to help you remove the upper from the lower.
@@GforceArms thanks got it only needed a small tap
I have this shotgun. Fun to shoot but the trigger is horrible. Hopefully they offer some sort of trigger spring upgrade in tge future. I haven't done it yet but when I put my trigger scale on it it wouldn't surprise me if it's 20+ lbs.
Please fill out the service form on our website and we'd love to see how we can help make this better for you. gforcearms.com/service
Is the barrel stainless? if not, what what type of rust resistance does it have? I see the rear half of the barrel is shiny.
Thanks for your question! The GFY-1 barrel is chrome moly. We don't want to take a position as to its level of rust resistance, but we can say that we've never had a warranty claim related to any type of corrosion, rust or otherwise.
Mine jammed up so hard, I couldn’t even rack the spent shell out. It was on the 20th shot. High brass, 1,340 FPS. I called it a day and shot the rest of the guns I brought out. Once inside (gun cooled) the gun racked back properly ejecting the spent shell. I did the full tear down and forgive me for not knowing the exact terms, but the piston was getting hammered by an Allen screw backing out of the slide. I tightened the screw. Thinking about putting some blue lock tite on it. But it still don’t fit flush. Is this a problem?
Please fill out a service request and we'll be happy to assist: gforcearms.com/service
I'm honestly a big fan of this gun! will there be any attachments for the stock like a cheek raiser?
I'm hoping to see extended charging handles as an add on.
@@gameadd1ct213 same, i really want the cheek raiser that they have on the ar styled 12gauge.
We're hoping to release aftermarket parts tentatively in 2021. Please stay tuned and we appreciate your patience. Thank you for the support and welcome to the family.
@@GforceArms Is there any source for replacement parts for these type guns? The recoil pads, pistons , and lower receiver parts are identical in a lot of these across many brands and it would be nice to find a vendor for these parts. I think the parts availability is the only thing holding these Turkish shotguns back from being a huge seller. I love everything about mine, which is an SDS , but it's basically the same gun other than different lowers(3 pins vs 2) .
Bought one this past weekend. 10/10 disappointed with it. Jams every shot. Doesn’t eject. 3” high brass
We're here to help. Create a service ticket and we'd be happy to assist to get your GFY-1 in working order. gforcearms.com/service
Following up on this hoping you got it sorted. Our Service team would love to help!!
Can you shoot a rifled slug through this gun?
Will slug harm this weapon
Only thing not working is the two take down pins Any suggestion
Are you using the tool included? Should pop right out with some good pressure.
Just bought mine and the actual mechanism is tight and the gun seems to jam quite a bit I was hoping I could lubricate it without a full tear down. Where should I lubricate the gun with out a full disassembly.
Due to it being has operated and semi automatic, try and use heavier high brass loads of 1300 feet per second or more that can reduce jams
We recommend also cleaning your gun before first use to remove the factory grease and putting the firearm in the lubricating condition you plan to shoot each time.
My handguard is plastic. Is yours?
Mine is new and i ran it recently and it had stove piping issues for a bit. 1st shot unfortunately. What could help fix this problem?
What ammo were you using. It is slightly picky on ammo choice
We recommend using 1300FPS or higher velocity ammunition. Also if you are still experiencing issues, after trying 1300FPS ammo, please fill out a service ticket and we'd be happy to help. gforcearms.com/service
You gotta use good ammo I’ve had no problems with mine what so ever trust me
Just bought one...
Mine didnt come with the teardown tool.
How can I get one?
please fill out a service request on our website and our Service Dept will be in touch. www.gforcearms.com/service
Is there any upgrades for this shotgun
No upgrades/aftermarket yet. It does feature a picatinny rail so feel free to add any accessories on there you'd like - or a bigger magazine for more ammo. :-)
Piston retainer stuck
Shooting 1350fps rounds shot 1mag flawless after that it hasn't shot a single mag without a cycling issue
Whats the difference between the gfy1 vs gfz ??
Main differences are that the GFZ has a built in angled foregrip, more picatinny side rails, and a built-in sling mount. Everything else is very similar.
Gforce arms, are they both aluminum lowers ??
Is the charging handle ambidextrous?
Unfortunately, no.
I moved my charging handle from the right side to the left.
@@davidanthony5016 easily?
lookin to do the same
GForce Arms: So is the Charging Handle Ambi?
Yes or No? There seems to be a contradiction in the comments.... I would like to move it to the left side if possible...
This thing is more complicated than building a lightsaber.
Its looks like fd12
Bruh someone pls fuckin tell me why I can’t take out the charging handle or whatever AND the pins. Literally NOTHING Is working for me I’m abt to break my god damn gun
Somebody respond please cuz I’m abt to toss this gun in the water it’s pissing me off so much. I’m beating it with a hammer tryna get the pins to pop out & I’m tryna rip out the charging handle but guess what won’t come out
Hi Jacob. You should be able to push the pins out with the tool that comes with gun. There is a spring inside the pin that holds it in place. if you gently push the tool into the pin and at the same time, depress the spring, does it slip out enough on the other side to get leverage to pull the pin out? Also, for the charging handle, they can be a bit tight the first time. Line up the handle with the notch in the bolt and then pull firmly outward. If you can't pull it out, put something soft around the charging handle to avoid scratching it and then see if you can remove with a pair of pliers. Tolerances are small, so sometimes they are pretty tight to get out.
@@GforceArms I mean it’s not workin it’s pretty simple instructions I used the tool it just got to that point. Don’t have it anymore cuz I can’t clean it. If I could show u a video you’d kno. Must just b a luck of the draw
Anyone else not able to take half this shit apart because it’s almost completely seized up
Was wondering where I could fine parts broke the loading block
