          When I ordered this, I thought…… it’s less than $350 with shipping so if it’s junk, it’s only $350. 1) I was impressed with the accessories that showed up with the gun. You can configure it as a flat rail or with the handle and it had several chokes. 2) I ran everything from birdshot to slugs through this gun and it patterned consistently every time and never malfunctioned. 3) I love this gun so much that it’s my primary carry on the ranch. I keep 1 mag with #7 birdshot for rattlesnakes and the other with slugs in case I see hogs. Worth every cent…… I’ve had it for about a year now so this review isn’t an “out of the box” review. Based on a solid year in the field as a working ranch rifle.

          Great shotgun, ran 30 rounds of 00 buck and 25 bird shot through it, no problems, no FTF, sites were very low, probably set for 40 yrd, got it sited in for about 30-40 ft for home protection. would buy again, I put a front vertical grip on it which helps a lot. Just buy one, great gun.

          What can I say, other then it's awesome !! Had a blast at the range with this, everybody wanted to shoot this. ( only charged $1.50 a round !!!) Gun was paid for in 30 minutes. Don't think twice, buy it now !! Bud's as usual, great to deal with. Thanks Bud's, love this piece !!!

          Honestly, I thought I had regretted getting this AR-12. But I was wrong. After removing the carry handle sight, installing fixed iron sight, red-dot sight, angle grip, replaced stock, and a drum magazine, this AR-12 is a freakin blast to shoot! It has a light trigger as well. People thought I had an automatic from the drum mag dumps. Easy to handle. And that full-choke on buckshot really makes one hell of a tight shot group. It is now one of my favorite weapons to shoot at the range. And you can’t beat the price at all. Why get a Beowulf when you could just get this and go slug? Ammo is cheaper too.

          Honestlyy favorite range toy now. Functions flawlessly out of the box. Cycles fine with low power rounds. Easy takedown and reassembly. Would recommend to anyone interested in a mag fed semi auto shotgun.

            Bill, no , these mini shells do not cycle well in semi auto shotguns. They cycle well in Mosserg 590 pump with the The OPSol Mini-Clip Adapter. Other than that, the mini shells are mostly effective in single shot shotguns.

            Joseph, yes this is MD compliant.
            The following are prohibited:
            ✘ Shotguns with a capacity over 10 rounds in a detachable magazine.
            ✘ Semi-automatic shotgun that has a folding stock (Not including telescoping [collapsible] stock)
            ✘ Any shotgun with a revolving cylinder.
            This has none of these features.

            Glen, yes it will. Since this shotgun has a 3 inch chamber, it can fire 3 inch and shorter 12 gauge shells (2 3/4) no issue. It is recommended to break it in with high power shells (50 or so) initially and then clean and re-lube. Some low cost full power loads in buck shot and slugs are here : budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/411559291/rio+royal+buck+12ga+2-3+4%22+00buck+9-pellet+5rds+1345fps -------------------------------------- budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/411559297/rio+royal+buck+12+ga+2-3+4%22+#4-buck+27+pellet+5rd+box -------------------------------- budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/411559534/rio+royal+star+slug+12+ga+2-3+4%22+1oz+slug+5rds

            Robert, the Escort Models have been good at out of the box reliability and it is recommended that Full Power Loads be used initially and then cleaned and lubed. Cheers and stay safe!
