No. Remington has never made product for Charles Daly. The Remington 'Spartan' line of shotguns is made in Russia, where Charles Daly shotguns are made in Spain, Italy and Turkey. sales@countrygunsmith.net
US, Japan, Spain, Prussia
Charles Daly has imported semiauto shotguns from Italy and Turkey. Would need to know exactly which Charles Daly you have. You can also check the Charles Daly/KBI website for manuals. sales@countrygunsmith.net
Yes they do now make a pistol grip stock for the pump and auto shotguns. These are being introduced along with Chalres Daly's new tactical shotgun line. More information can be found on the the Charles Daly Defense website or the Charles Daly forums. http://www.charlesdalyforum.com http://www.charlesdalydefense.com/shotguns.asp
Charles Daly Shotguns madde by Akkar were built with cast inferior locking blocks in the bolt assembly. It is fairly common for them to break and crack. Numrichs sells replacement parts and Samco Global Arms Inc now sells the Akkar line of shotguns, but will not fix the older Charles Daly guns. You might be able to buy parts from them for your Charles Daly guns. So much for the lifetime warranty that Charles Daly offered. Walmart and several local dealers where still quoting the lifetime warranty even when Charles Daly had already gone out of business.
When properly maintained and operated, they are as safe as any shotgun. They have a good reputation as a reliable firearm.
Older Charles Daly o/u shotguns were mfg. by Miroku in Japan until the mid-70's, when Miroku began mfg. the Citori for Browning. These Charles Daly shotguns are one of the best bargains out there in a quality used o/u shotgun. They can be found for $500 to $700 for a good used 12 ga. with asking prices for higher grade guns in near new condition approaching $1,000. The later ones of Italian mfg. are more expensive, but are also solid guns. As for the Turkish Dalys, I have no experience with them.
