Be sure there are chokes in the gun before shooting it. you don't want a shot cup passing over open threads in the gun if you ever wanna choke it, and you do. I think the gun comes with five, so there's probably two in the gun now. IIRC, it comes with full, mod, IC, skeet, cylinder or something like that. I'm probably going to choke full/IC for doves. Right now, I have my Spartan in the bedroom with #3 buck choked cylinder/IC for close defense duty.

Bummer, I got screwed out of a choke. The Spartan didn't come with a skeet choke. :D
 
Yeah, that gun has a funky choke marking. I was reading about it, think a post on this board. One Full is either like FIVE bars or ONE bar. They're marked with bars, one, two, three, four, and five bars. I guess, way to tell is get the one marked with five bars and the one marked with one bar and put a dime in the choke to see if it slides through. It shouldn't slide through the full choke tube and should through the open choke tube. So, say the full is one bar, then two bars would be mod, three would be IC, four would be skeet, five cylinder......I think....:banghead:

You might search the shotgun forum for yildiz. I think it was a thread I might have started. But, there's a good explanation. Heck, now I'm curious. I'll check right now.
 
jeez this thing is hard to open, hard to close. what can i do to break this baby in faster. i'm cracking it open with my knee. the one in the store was quite a bit easier to break but this one is near damn impossible. i oiled it up and flexed it 30+ time still seems as hard as ever to open and close.. help
 
Its new right?

Because, they require a break in period. After a couple hundred round it shoud work fine. Opening it/closing it should help too. When you say you oiled it, did you just put some light sewing machine oil on it or break gun grease? I dont know much about break barrels but i do know they specifically make grease for the hinges.
 
I remember half the first duck season after I bought that Sarasqueta I had to break the thing over my knee to open it or whack it atop the barrels. I was beginning to wonder, but it finally started to loosen up. Just don't be too rough with it SLAMMING it open. I bent the fore-end metal doing that and that's what cracked my fore-end wood eventually. I don't know if that'd be a problem with the Yildiz, but that Sarasqueta a pretty thin metal piece on the fore-end and slamming it open repeatedly like that eventually bent it.

The gun still locks tight now, but is very smooth after all those years of use and abuse. It just took some time to smooth out the hinges I guess.
