Is this gun (AT Bulldog 20 Ga) legal in California.

Hi LLoyd, unfortunately no. Prohibited: ✘ Semi-automatic shotgun that has the ability to accept any detachable magazine. https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/california_restrictions.pdf , Stay safe & have a great day!

Hi Lloyd and welcome. No Sir, since it is a Semi-Auto with a Detachable Magazine. Details under Shotguns here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/california_restrictions.pdf ------------------------ Pump Models : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/153810/garaysar+fear109+fear+109+black+12+ga+19.70+5+1+fixed+bullpup+stock ---------------------------------- https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/111458/kel-tec+cnc+ks7blk+ks7+pump+12+ga+18.5+3+6+1

Can this be shot left-handed (charger) without hot brass hitting my teeth? (Left eye dominant).

Rocky, this is right handed and I'd imagine because it's a bullpup trying to shoot it left handed wouldn't work out to well. Buds doesn't have much in stock when it comes to left handed bullpup shotguns. It's a little pricier but here's a 12gs bullpup thats left handed. Sorry but hope this helps, link here if interested...........https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/723014007/black+aces+tactical+pro+series+fd12+bullpup+pump+12+ga+18.5+5+1+left+side+eject+black

Rocky, same deal Sir. it is right hand biased but would work left handed with a little practice. I would get a true left hand model (just click the link here) : google.com/search?q=51655115140&sxsrf=ALiCzsYu_Uvf1_SvDn57bIGJNe9CIMViBQ%3A1651448887640&source=hp&ei=NxxvYoaTJNW4tAbrmaz4Ag&iflsig=AJiK0e8AAAAAYm8qR2Sdhujov1FHlwVPgZ5xfBbJKanU&ved=0ahUKEwjGir3Cvr_3AhVVHM0KHesMCy8Q4dUDCA4&oq=51655115140&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAxQAFgAYIQGaABwAHgAgAF-iAF-kgEDMC4xmAEAoAEB&sclient=gws-wiz

Is this a 16", or 18.5". I see both listed on the description.

Mark, this UPC code has an 18.5" Barrel Sir. Cheers and stay safe!

Can this gun be shipped to NYS, does it meet NY criteria

Bob, unfortunately no. A semi-auto shotgun that can accept a detachable magazine is prohibited. budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/new_york_restrictions.pdf

Bob, this is not legal in new York. Any semi automatic shotgun that can accept a detachable magazine is prohibited in new York. Sorry but hope this helps. Here's a link to new Restrictions... https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/new_york_restrictions.pdf.

Bob, unfortunately no it is not NY compliant. This is a NY legal Pump Bullpup : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/723014007/black%2baces%2btactical%2bpro%2bseries%2bfd12%2bbullpup%2bpump%2b12%2bga%2b185%22%2b5%252b1%2bleft%2bside%2beject%2bblack

Has anyone tried the Rock Island Armory magazine VR series? - specifically the VR82 20 Gauge 20 Rounds? looking for 5 or 10 rounders

Nat, the VR82 Series Magazines work just fine Sir. -- One stop shop here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/search.php/q/vr82

Nat, here is a link for 10 rounders...https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/130658/rock+island+4236382+vr+series+20+gauge+rock+island+vr82+10rd+magazine+blued+detachable.. and here is 5 rounds..https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/130657/rock+island+4605082+vr+series+20+gauge+rock+island+vr82+5rd+magazine+blued+detachable.. buds also has 20 round magazines available. You can type in vr82 and find more magazines available. Hope this helps.

what is overall length?

Marc, the overall length is 32.7", and this has an 18.5" barrel, not the 16" that is listed. Have a great day!

Marc, this UPC code has an 18.5 inch barrel (not 16 inch) and is 32.7 inches in length. Also, 10rd magazines are here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/130658/rock+island+4236382+vr+series+20+gauge+rock+island+vr82+10rd+magazine+blued+detachable

Marc, first this has a 18.5 inch barrel. Overall Length is 32.7 inches. Hope this helps.

It's actually an 18.5" barrel. As far as overall length I'm not sure.

Are 20 gauge 5 rounder mags compatible with the 12 Gauge 5 rounder? Help! - new to shot gunning - does it matter Target vs slug?

Nat, no Sir, they are not cross compatible. 10rd 20ga magazines are available here : https://advancedtactical.com/vr82-20-ga-10rnd-blued-finish.html

Nat, no, the 20ga 5 round magazines won't work with a 12 gauge. This will take any vr82 magazine. This has a 3 inch chamber so it will fire 2-3/4 inch and 3 inch shells safely. You can shoot bird shot, buck shot or slugs. Since this has a smooth bore rifled slugs will get the best accuracy. Hope this helps and if you have any other questions feel free to ask.

I am new to shot-gunning. Can I use slugs on this ATI Bullpup? Any additional tips? Need to change chokes or use what's in it when delivered. 3" shell or 2 3/4" - any info will be much appreciated - I am an old timer transitioning from Benchrest / F-Class long range shooting

Nat, Question 1 & 2 -- yes you can use slugs, rifles slugs (aka foster) since this is a smooth bore, for best results use cylinder or improved cylinder choke tubes for slugs. Question 3 -- This has a 3" chamber, so it will safely shoot either 2 3/4" or 3" shells. Good luck in your transition and have a great day!

Nat, Slugs are fine. Foster Type Slugs will work best through the Cylinder Choke performance/accuracy wise. I recommend the RIO Royal Slugs here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/411560063/rio+royal+star+20+ga+2-34+78oz+slug+25rd+box

Nat, this has a smooth bore so rifled slugs will work great in this. It has a 3 inch chamber so both 2-3/4 inch and 3 inch shells will fire safely. For the break in period/first 500 rounds I'd stick to higher velocity rounds to completely cycle the bolt. After that it should cycle any velocity ammo you put threw it. For slugs you will need to change chokes. This comes with 3 piece choke set but can't find anywhere what they are. For slugs you want improved cylinder or a cylinder choke, you will get the best accuracy with those. Believe that's everything. Hope this helps.

Yes, it is safe to shoot slug on this ATI Bullpup. It does come with 3-piece choke tube set so make sure that you have the right choke or bare barrel when you shoot slug. It's important to select a choke tube with little to no constriction. That's why a cylinder or improved cylinder choke is ideal for use with slugs. These types of chokes have a large enough diameter to shoot slugs without damaging the shotgun barrel or causing harm to the person firing. I hope this helps!

do you get two magazines with this shotgun ?

John, (1) 5rd Magazine. Additional 10rd & 20rd Magazines here : https://advancedtactical.com/vr82-20-ga-10rnd-blued-finish.html ----------------------- https://www.a3gmunitions.com/product/vr82_mag_20/

No, unfortunately this only comes with one 5 round magazine. This will take vr82 magazines though if you want to purchase extra. Hope this helps.
