I've had both of these shotguns for a few days now, but I held off posting about them until I was able to run a few boxes of shells through them. Mostly because I put both of these purchases in the, "too good to be true" category. But I took a chance on both guns anyway.
I was very pleasantly surprised when they came to my FFL and I looked at them. And then again after I shot them. Both functioned flawlessly. I came across both guns in an E-Mail CDNN Sports sent me. The links for both guns are below, in case anyone else is interested. Each one was priced at only $125.99.... 2 brand new pump shotguns in the sealed factory carton for just $252.00.
And on top of that they both included free shipping. (They do charge you $6 bucks and change, because Fedex charges if the package requires an adult signature on delivery). No tax was charged for either gun. (I don't know if that was an error or not).
These guns are imported into this country by T&R Imports in Texas. Both guns are made in Turkey. Once again I cannot find fault in Turkish manufactured firearms. Both of these guns are an unbelievable buy. The fit and finish on both was well above the price charged.
Both guns fed both 2-3/4" and 3" rounds, and both cycled smoothly and reliably. The Black RZ-17 Field Gun comes with a 28" ventilated rib barrel, and 5 interchangeable screw in chokes, and a wrench. (Full, Modified, Improved Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder). The XP-15 has an Electroless Nickel finish, and a 20" cylinder barrel. Both guns have very similar stocks and forends.
The one thing I didn't care for was the spring assisted return of the forend. You have to pull the forend rearward against the spring that fits over the magazine tube. Then if you release the forend at that point, the gun will close automatically.
This is bad for 2 reasons. First is it can easily cause short stroking. But more importantly, at most all clay target ranges, they require ALL pump and autoloading shotguns to be stored in the racks with the actions open. This prevents that.
Fortunately, once you remove the barrel by taking off the magazine cap, this spring will slip right off the mag tube, and the gun will then function like any other pump shotgun.... And both of these functioned very smoothly.
I'm very pleased with both of these guns. If anyone is looking for an inexpensive shotgun as a house or truck gun, you can't go wrong with either or both of these shotguns.
I don't know how long CDNN is going to keep them at this price, but they're still listed as "in stock" and at the same price I paid as I type this. They also have a few more models that will chamber 3-1/2" shells, and have a camo finish that are priced for only bit more. (Sorry for the crappy phone camera pics).

Not really CA at the moment would be still worse.
