TR Imports YP20 Pump Shotgun 20ga 24-inch Walnut
About this product
The TR Imports YP20 is a compact pump-action 20 gauge shotgun with a 24-inch barrel and Turkish walnut furniture, designed specifically for smaller-statured shooters who need manageable recoil and versatile field performance. This Turkish-made shotgun features a shortened 12.75-inch length of pull and ships with five choke tubes, making it adaptable for everything from small game hunting to introductory clay shooting. At 7.5 pounds unloaded, it strikes a balance between weight for recoil management and portability for extended carries.
What is the TR Imports YP20 used for?
The YP20 is primarily designed for youth shooters, smaller adults, and anyone needing a compact field gun for upland bird hunting or predator control. Its 20-gauge chamber handles 2¾-inch and 3-inch shells effectively for game up to turkey size, while the 24-inch vent-rib barrel provides quick sight acquisition for moving targets. The five included choke tubes (Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, Full) allow patterning from close-range brush shooting to longer turkey or waterfowl distances where permitted.
How does the TR Imports YP20 compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting Compact 20ga?
The YP20 outperforms the Stevens 555 Sporting Compact in affordability and simplicity, costing approximately $200 less while offering similar compact dimensions. Where the Stevens uses an over/under action requiring more maintenance on ejectors and hinges, the YP20's pump action is more forgiving of debris and easier to field-strip without tools. However, the Stevens provides faster follow-up shots with its dual barrels and typically exhibits tighter pattern consistency due to fixed choke design.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The YP20 weighs 7.5 pounds empty with an overall length of 42.5 inches and barrel length of 24 inches. The 12.75-inch length of pull is 1.25 inches shorter than standard adult shotguns, while the 4-round tubular magazine extends 8 inches beyond the receiver. These dimensions make it approximately 15% more compact than full-size field guns like the Stevens 555 Sporting 20 Gauge, trading some stability for maneuverability in tight blinds or thick cover.
Who is this NOT for?
This shotgun is not suitable for competitive trap or skeet shooters needing rapid second shots or specialized choke setups. The pump action's 1.2-second cycle time between shots can't match the immediate follow-up of an over/under, and the lightweight design transmits more felt recoil with heavy 3-inch magnum loads than heavier target guns. Waterfowl hunters requiring 3½-inch chambers or dedicated slug shooters needing rifle sights will also find the YP20's capabilities limited compared to specialized models.
What's in the box?
The YP20 ships with five steel choke tubes (C, IC, M, IM, F), a choke tube wrench, and basic owner's manual documentation. Unlike some Turkish imports, it includes no hard case or additional accessories—expect to purchase a soft case separately for transport. The choke tubes feature standard Remington-style threads compatible with aftermarket options, though the included set covers most hunting scenarios within the 20-gauge's effective 40-yard range.
Is the TR Imports YP20 worth it at $222.99?
At $222.99, the YP20 represents significant value for a walnut-stocked shotgun with multi-choke capability, costing less than many synthetic-stocked alternatives. The Turkish walnut furniture alone would add $75-100 to a comparable American-made shotgun, while the complete choke set represents another $40-60 value. For a youth's first shotgun or a compact backup gun for truck or ATV use, the YP20 delivers reliable performance at approximately 60% of the cost of entry-level models from major US manufacturers.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard Remington choke tubes?
- Yes, the YP20 uses standard Remington-style choke tube threads (Rem Choke pattern), making it compatible with aftermarket tubes from brands like Carlson's or Patternmaster. The included five-tube set covers Cylinder through Full constrictions, but any Remington-pattern tube with matching thread pitch will function properly.
- Does it fit youth-sized shooters under 5 feet tall?
- The 12.75-inch length of pull accommodates shooters as short as 4'10" comfortably, though children under 80 pounds may still find the 7.5-pound weight challenging to support offhand. For very small frames, consider adding a ½-inch recoil pad spacer to further shorten the pull while increasing recoil absorption for lightweight shooters.
- How long does shipping take?
- Firearms shipped from Ironclad Armory typically process within 3 business days for FFL verification, with transit times of 5-7 business days via FedEx Ground.
