So I was in christchurch Sunday and somehow I ended up owning a "ranger m5" got a not too bad deal. To my surprise despite all the talk of "development" etc being done by guncity on these shotguns making people think this is they're own design, it is in fact a rebranded asi ultramax and it's made in Turkey not china.
The machining of the reciever and bolt are as good if not better than my stoeger, fit and finish is pretty decent and a lot better than I expected. Furniture is comfy but a little on the toy plastic side of things, nevertheless seems sturdy enough. Yet to put any rounds through it I'm currently chilling on the couch manually cycling the action to smooth out any high spots.
Will update after its first outting. Have machined an oversized charging handle already, the supplied one is rather midget and a little sharp.
