Bought one brand new, it broke before it even had a chance to be loaded. Checking the chamber before we went to load it for the first time, action only opens half way, hammer won't cock. So far my impression is garbage
Very nice looking rifle. Been looking for a Browning B92 for awhile in .357, i just need to sell a child first when one comes up on gunbroker. This may temporarily scratch an itch. I lived in Ankara Turkey for years so im good with the turkish thing.
When I first saw this rifle and heard that they would be about $300 to dealers, I was hoping it would come in at around $400. But, the cheapest I saw was $555; and after shipping, transfer fee, and sales tax, it was coming out to $640 plus. I'll pass.
@@MrBBang I bought the Henry a couple of years ago. Was just looking for something less expensive to train my grandchildren on without getting a bunch of dings and gouges on my Henry.
Actually, I got one from Sportsmans. Good price, and it is quite fun to shoot. Action is very smooth. While it's a 357magnum trying to shoot 38special rds can be a problem. I used 38special wadcutters and they were a bit of a hit and miss as not all rds were picked up into the chamber. Later on I tried 38special cowboy loads, which were just a bit shorter and had quite a few jams. When I used the same cowboy loads in 357magnum she worked perfectly. I will be using this in Cowboy Action Shooting and will have to remove the HIVIZ front site, but other than that she was good to go right out of the box.
Good video but you are wrong about the capabilities of a .357 round from a rifle... you are good for about 150 yard deer gun and has plenty of kill power at that distance....in Georgia 90 percent of deer are shot around 40 yards....a 150 grain bullet at about 1900 fps....

(IOM) and the Australia-based human rights organization Walk Free, 15.6 out of every thousand people in Turkey were defined as “modern slaves” in 2021May 26, 2023 The reason it's so cheap
My concerns as a gunsmith of twenty years. Aluminum does not handle impact forces and wear surfaces well. It deforms under impact and wears fast on wear surfaces. Once the anodizing wears through it gets with the wear! SO with that said, what is the actual realistic life expectancy of an aluminum 92 receiver? For the person that shoots a few hundred rounds through it in their lifetime, no worries, for the shooter that does that on the weekends, I don't know. I like this lever gun along with the Citadel Levtac both aluminum receivers, probably the same plant in Turkey lol. I would like to see one up close and disassembled after a couple thousand rounds run through it. Who knows maybe there is more than ample surface area on the lock up surfaces to spread the impact loads and hang with a steel receiver.
Yes, cheaper to make out of aluminum. The tooling lasts longer, generally the speeds and feeds are faster netting more parts in a shorter time. Although aluminum is more expensive than low carbon steels, probably close on higher carbon stuff common in modern firearms. I hope I am wrong and they turn out to be beasts eating thousands of rounds with a smile.
Agreed.. I am a Machinist/Millwright by trade and Gunsmith as a hobby. MY first thought was,I hope the locking slots have steel liners at least and it would appear that the steel locking lugs run in aluminum, no thanks. I'll stick with my home tuned Rossi 92's or the real thing 1892s.
Has anyone found a peep sight that fits this? I got one a month ago love it so far about 200 rounds in no issues including my cast bullets, but haven’t found a peep that says it’ll work with it.
@@waterhead1359 no one pays me for reviews buddy. Trust me on that. Company’s do send product at times, and at times I buy my own. I still wouldn’t lie about it if I didn’t or did like or dislike it.
So the gun wasn't free either? I'm just tired of gun channels getting free guns for review and not saying it . Just be honest, say the gun was free but want make a difference in the review .if not people want trust you
@@evealcantar9564 I'm not really sure I know I paid over $2,000 -2400for my stainless steel model of 1895 lever action Marlin in 45-70. Keep in mind there is a conversion difference so that's like 1500-2000k usd. There's import fees license fees and a bunch of the nonsense.
They obviously noticed the success of the Henry and Rossi leverguns and decided to get in on the action. Kind of pricey for a Turkish made gun. I don't like that stainless looking one there... I would prefer a "blued" one and they really shouldn't have put that white logo on the receiver.. yuck. And they obviously copied the Rossi import safety - I wonder if the replacement buttons and aperture sight will fit this...? Was hoping for a range review so I'll try and catch that when it comes out.

I wish you would have shown us of you shooting this. I like this one. Thanks for sharing and have a nice safe day!!
Looks very sharp and love the set up behind you man🏆🇺🇸🍻 cheers from CA
Thank you
It’s actually manufactured by Huğtek arms in turkey. Distributed by GForce

Buy something different, multiple rifles have broke before ever being fired. Pay the extra 100-150 for a Rossi

IDK…its a very very nice rifle
At that point spend the extra 250 and get a Henry
@@fishsticks7257 or spend the same+pocket change and get a Rossi and some emory boards and watch the video tutorial on smoothing them up
For another $150, get a Henry H012GML 357 Mag (Made in USA).

What load do you like for deer for 150yrds?
Has anyone noticed any case budge with the GFLVR357? Kind of looks like the "GLOCK SMILE" on their 40 Cal pistols.
How accurate is it at 50yd and 100?
The rear sight is not a peep sight, it is a conventional buckhorn sight.
Needs to have a 16.25 inch barrel

Many receivers are aluminum. ARs, handguns, etc

Very good points. My guess is that it keeps manufacturing costs down and like you said most will only shoot 100-200 rounds.

Hey Partner...make that a lever "action" rifle. Thanks for the video.
Is it really a lifetime warranty? I thought I read somewhere on their website it was 5 years.
How did it shoot ?

Try Skinner Sights
@@outdoornewsamerica I emailed them first they said the dove tail is “unusually long and theirs do not fit”
3:15.. where are you finding this so cheap? It's over $700 here in California pre taxes
Video was done a long time ago. Also, I’m sure it’s higher in California
@outdoornewsamerica well, if I change location, to a non restricted state, say Arizona, same price.
G-force pays $175, as usual, it get the $300,selling to Americans markup. I got the price from the manufacturer at shot.
Saw one a couple days ago, looks nice and the action was smooth. But it was 595.00 which is still the cheapest one around.
300 less than a Rossi and 800 less than a Marlin.
You said Aluminum?
Action aluminum?
Barrel shrouded with aluminum?
Receiver
The innards are steel. The mfg is something like Hugtech out of Turkey. The thing weighs 5.48 lbs. pretty light.
What is the price point for something like this?
399-500
@@outdoornewsamerica thank you kindly
I have a gforce gf1 shotgun it makes a pretty good boat paddle 😂
You able to add a scope?
No
Peep sight in the rear?
No they don’t
That looks like a buck horn rear sight, not a peep sight.
Actually you are correct sir! Thank you
Best spend a little more and get a Rossi or a Henry. They dont skimp on reciver material.
Did you ever take her to the range 🤔
Any way a guy could put red dot on
Maybe check with Skinner Sights

No it doesn’t
