I bought this model emperor guardian pump and it won’t load shells from tube. Any suggestions?

Daniel, I would contact both Buds (1-859-368-0371) just to inform them of the issue and Emperor Firearms (1-239) 561-3444) for a resolution.

I agree with James you need to contact both Buds (1-859-368-0371) just to inform them of the issue and Emperor Firearms (1-239) 561-3444) for a resolution. Unless you bought the Buds lifetime warranty then just contact them. Good luck in this matter and let us know how Emperor Firearms treats you

I would contact Emperor Firearms ASAP Phone: (239) 561-3444

I have the MXP12 (non tactical) version. What add ons are available for this shotgun? And where do I find them?

Will, I could not find a whole lot for accessories on the non tactical model except for the synthetic stock with picatinny rail and shell holder for the shoulder stock. Others may chime in that may know of more. : https://www.google.com/search?q=EMPEROR+FIREARMS+MXP12+12GA+PUMP+18.5%22+SHOTGUN+COMBO+3%22+CHAMBER&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjY5u_AwP7aAhWFmOAKHSwtBe4Q_AUICygC&biw=1920&bih=938#imgrc=thMf0N4wHPhqCM:

Not much you can add besides a red dot or a flashlight. You can add anything that accepts a piccatinny rail attachment.

Hi Will, Not much you can add besides a red dot or a flashlight. You can add anything that accepts a piccatinny rail attachment.

Am I allowed to purchase a shotgun of your site if im 19??

Ronald, if you can legally transferred and owned locally then you can. However a very few # of vendors will require you to be 21 to purchase any firearm. This is just their policy, though it has nothing to do with your ability to purchase.

Yes, Buds will allow you to buy one. Your FFL should allow you to take it through transfer, if not they will send it back and you will be refunded minus a 10% restocking fee.
