Love the value from Buds!

Owned three of these babies. Every one was excellent for the money. Though I did have to go inside and fix a stuck safety on one. The other had rust pitting inside one barrel and the break action started to get quite loose but the last one I've had zero issues with.

Nice inexpensive coach gun. No issues with the gun at all a good choice if you don’t want to spend a lot of money.

Fulfilled a wish I've had since I fired my grandfather's side by side almost 60 years ago. This shotgun is heavy, solid and looks like the old Greener guns from over 100 years ago. Its weight handles the hottest rounds I've fired thru it. Not really a modern self-defense weapon because only two rounds, then again, close quarters quarters would be very effective. Would be good for certain 3-gun competitions after it's broken in.

Looks and functions fine, the fit and finish is not great, had a metal burr on the barrel I had to grind off.

This is a great bargain for a fun shotgun . It comes very greasy and the lockup is tight for the first few boxes of ammo but wow is it fun to shoot . There is a lot of import marks and writing on the sides of the barrels but they don’t stick out too bad when not looking .

Well I picked mine up today and my first impression was so- so -so..(yes 3 times)...... the machining kinda sucked, sharp edges poor fit in the break hinge area, my gun would not even open halfway!! so out came the moto tool and FINE grit sanding drum...I had to smooth out the FOREARM or FRONT STOCK (as some call it) in the half rounded area quite a bit...if you do this MAKE SURE YOU DO IT GENTLY !!!! only take off what you need to....after you get it shinny keep re-fitting it til you can put a little dap of grease on the hinge surface to smooth out the hinge.AFTER PROPER FIT !!... use a BLACK FELT MARKER to paint over the shinny area and keep fitting and wearing off the felt marker so you know where to GENTLY remove some high areas with the dremel. I also had to take some surface area off the barrel (lock up) area so the break lever would be fully locked to the left...I'm also going to change out the way to thick butt pad to one about half the thickness of the one it came with..I also noticed they changed the ejection (ejector) of the shells form older models, I like the newer style of positive shell extraction .....Sooo.. for $300 bucks if you do not have any gunsmith skills don"t screw up your gun !!! have someone help you. I have USMC gunsmith skills so I didn't mind working on mine. Over all eh !!.. but then again i was looking for a camp gun that's gonna get roughed up...time will tell, I will be back after a while of shooting this shotgun and do a future review. If you don't want to have to do work on the gun DON"T buy this one, but if you have the skills you can make this one a shooter.....good luck.

The gun was as expected and I agree with the others who bought this. Delivery was on time. I haven't fired it yet so can't comment about that. But it seems to be in working order and don't expect any issues. As others have said it requires some minor detail work that is expected from China. Products made in the USA were always manufactured with quality workmanship in mind, and some foreign made items lack that attention to fine detail.

Great gun. Received in timely manner. Assembled easily. Shoots great. No issues. Looks 1800ish. Perfect for re-enactments of the old west. Looks period correct. Glad I bought it and will definitely buy from Buds again.

For the price the stock is much nicer than a lot of the videos on youtube depicted it to be, although this gun needs a couple hours of dremeling on the hinge and some work on the safety to get it smoothly operating, I don't recommend this gun to someone who isn't a tinkerer because it's a piece of crap out of the box.

Amazing gun and I hear its low key made by Norinco which is awesome. Give us back Norincos and Polytech Legends lol gun comes drenched in grease so get ready to clean. The action is pretty stiff but with a little bit of polishing and spring cutting if you want it grandma easy. I dropped mine and one of the barrels bent a little so I heated the area with a lighter for about a minute and bent it back in place. A little bit of sanding & polishing made the barrel like new again. The gun is Chinese yes but don't forget the Chinese invented the gun. The metal is nice and solid. The gun doesn't feel too big in your hands even with its 20inch barrel it feels more like an 18inch barrel shotgun would feel like in your hands. Great gun but watch a couple of cleaning and polishing videos on it and make a great gun even better. Affordable heavy duty coach gun, just needs a good cleaning when she arrives. Would recommend it for sure.

Descent shotgun for the price. Had it a couple years already no issues. Fun to shoot especially both barrels at the same time!! Kicks like a mule!!

Quality of my JW2000 12ga. was actually nice all around. Wood looked great, blueing was thin but complete. Its heavy... 8lbs. The action is stiff but it will loosen up. The gun came dripping with so much oil. I cleaned it up and ran some slugs, and 00/ buck, its got some kick. Surprised with how heavy it is. Put a sling and shell holder on it. Now its ready to go. Not sure Ill run any heavy loads through it, because of the things Ive heard, buldging barrels, cracked stocks. But I might. I got Buds lifetime warranty. But for now just 2 3/4. Hell that's plenty. All in all I'm happy with my coach gun. Its a great bedside security gun. And it puts a smile on my face. And that's all that matters Right?
