Hello all,
Long time no post.
I received my Century Arms flyer today. I see they have the following CHEAP 16 gauge doubles
1) M75 Zastava made in Yugoslavia rated very good for $159
2)a Hungarian manufactured rated good for $149
3) a Russian IZH-58 rated good for $149
4) a Russian TOZ-63 with hammers rated very good for $159
I know with any level of quaility some one else would have bought the lot from Century as they are an importer and I am not expecting a Purdy BUT.... a new toy for $150! I am a bit tempted
Has any one bought one?

| That's very likely what they are, cheap shotguns. I doubt you would get any more than you pay for.. MDC |

Go to a gun show and get yourself a cheap project gun. Don't see a $150 "new gun" as having much of a lifespan  but I could be wrong  |

I bet their idea of good/very good condition is MUCH different than mine  |

Well, they won't win any beauty contests, but they should be solid dependable guns.
the IZH will be basically the same thing as a Baikal imported by EAA and then Remington/Spartan.
I have seen a couple of ads for the Zastava on Gunbroker like this one here .
The Hungarian, I don't know squat about.

But I got in a few of the CZ 12 gauge SXS & a few of the Tula 16 ga. SXS shotguns. They are used but in decent condition. The CZ's being better 'used' condition than the Tula's However I really like the Tula's. They lock up & function fine but the blue is worn. The CZ's are hammerless with chrome bores. Both models have a full choke on the left & a 1/2 or modified choke onthe right. Here is a picture of some right out of the box before cleanup, I'll have to get an 'after' picture of the 2 I kept for myself.
For the $ I'm impressed. Both were shredding targets at 35 yards.
