Charles Dailey has closed its doors so don't expect any support from them.
Stoeger is owned by Benelli but is manufactured in Turkey. SAKO bought Stoeger in 1990. SAKO was acquired by Beretta. When Beretta bought Benelli they got the whole shooting-match.
The story goes; Vursan, a Turkish arms manufactor developed the Stoeger shotgun. It had an exact copy of the inertia mechanism that Benelli uses. Beretta, which owns Benelli sued for patent infringement forcing Stoeger to sell its guns only in Turkey. During negotiations in Turkey some Benelli & Beretta executives visited the Stoeger factory; were impressed enough to buy the company. It's a cheap copy of the Benelli gun and kicks like crazy. it doesn't have energy absorbing stock, no cryogenic barrels, no easy takedown mechanism. But, for what you pay for its a decent gun.
