Will this take mini-shells that my wife likes?

most guns will not feed the mini shells. i suggest you try them and see you could always hand feed them into the chamber like a single shot

Hi John, it most likely will not reliably cycle mini-shells. Most guns will not unless specifically made to. You can always try a box to see, but it is unlikely. Stay safe & have a great day!

Hi John and welcome. This will, just make sure to test your lot of mini-shells to ensure reliable functioning. Cheers and stay safe!

The two pictures are different. One shows accessory rail on the forend and the other does not. Does it have one?

Hi Jonas and welcome. This model comes with the newer Pic Railed forend and top receiver Pic Rail. Cheers and stay safe!

some say yes some say no please check with dickinson arms at (805) 978 – 8565 email info@dickinsonarms.com https://dickinsonarms.com/contact/

I need to know if this shotgun has a Pistol grip because then it would be illegal for me to carry since I'm from Illinois.

Yes. It has a pistol grip as pictured.

I asked a Question this morning about the price- Called the Number referred to Chat feature which is totally automated and provides NO help! I have bought may items here but thinking it may be time to go somewhere else. Bate and Switch!

As a fellow customer I'm really sorry to hear about this issue your having with getting ahold of a real person. Bud's has been short staffed and I'm sure that's where the problem is at the moment. Maybe give them a call back in a little while?

customer service has gone downhill everywhere businesses cant get people to work and more companies are trying to automate as much as possible

Hi Don and welcome. I agree that Buds Support has dwindled a smidge. I would not let this one occurrence deter you from doing business with Buds. Multiple, now that would be a different story. Short staffed or not, a business should always have accessible Customer Service. There is an old adage, businesses go out of business one customer at a time. Cheers, stay safe and good luck!

Spoke with customer service via chat and the price will change to the 159 later today when the sale goes live.

I got thru to "chat" and spoke to "Larissa" at Buds who is obviously not to blame but has to represent what she's told by weak management in this case. I referred to the advert for $159 advertised and the "ACT NOW" at the top of the ad. All I got from her was that the special price will start later on - sometime today. No idea or hint when etc. She could not help further - but did say management knew about it since others had complained. Other than a cursory "I'm sorry" no hint of a reconciliation or offer to honour the advert which, I repeat, said ACT NOW. In my opinion a total waste of time and leaves me questioning the professionalism of at least the marketing dept. of Buds and the management. very disappointing.

I received an email a way better price but it leads me here to retail price

Hi Don, if you got an email with an advertised price, Bud's customer service should be able to help you complete the purchase at that price. 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 8pm Mon - Fri Also, from Bud's FAQ about the frequent price change - "Our website updates every 20 minutes, 24/7, with our current inventory and replacement cost. Although our profit margin remains unchanged, our advertised prices will change frequently, sometimes several times per day. Stay safe & have a great day!

What’s the break in period on this 12g? I wanna shoot birdshot , thanks

Hi Jerek, this is a pump action shotgun and does not require any break in period. You can shoot birdshot right away. Stay safe & have a great day!

Hi Jerek and welcome. Break in will be quick with 50 or so full powered loads. My grandpa also told me to store the firearm with the bolt locked back and it will condition the return spring for lighter loads as well. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

Taken from a forum with this question. I recently got a new semi-auto shotgun and the manufacturer recommends breaking in the action spring. Their suggestion is to run 200 rounds of heavy shotshells through it before counting on it cycling lighter loads.
