turkish.
blowback.
that’s as far as i got.
It was designed in Knoxville, TN. It says Knoxville, TN on it. Is it manufactured in Turkey but assembled in Knoxville?
Whoever imports it is stamped as the manufacturer and is liable as the manufacturer, according to US law.
Oh okay, thanks.
I bought one of these last month, and it shot great for two magazines worth. Now it will not lock a factory magazine in place, no matter what. I can’t find anything wrong with the mag release, so I am at a loss. I am basically stuck with a $900 useless piece of metal, unless I want to take the musket approach. It shoots that first shot great, right before the mag falls out of the gun and onto the ground.
