Possibly. For a while I was receiving 'Guns & Ammo' magazine. The 
subscription price is ridiculously low since it's a vehicle for 
advertising. Almost every month they would have gushing articles about one 
or two firearms produced in Turkey.

What's interesting is the selection of the revolver, which is  no longer 
manufactured. It was Turkey's first shot at a civilian firearm.

Spain tried the same strategy. Astra and Star produced firearms of 
mediocre quality that were 'inspired by' existing designs to put it 
politely. Both went bankrupt, combined to form ASTAR, which I think also 
went under.

CETME has some nice products like the Model 58. That was designed by a 
Third Reich weapons designer CETME hired after the war. Going full circle 
the H&K G3 was based on the 58.


The Brazilian firm Taurus followed a similar path although they've proved 
innovative in their own right.
