I haven’t shot this gun yet but assume that it was test fired at the factory. I didn’t realize that it’s made in China but it’s well made. It has a bolt hold-open button near the trigger which is an improvement over a standard AK. It’s an enlarged AK basically. I’m not sure if the buttstock and pistol grip are standard AK sizes or are specific to this particular gun. They are both made of plastic. I was pleasantly surprised that the barrel uses standard replaceable Remington choke tubes. I installed a rifled choke tube to be able to fire rifled slugs and sabot shells. I purchased several 10-round round magazines for it. It comes with (2) 5-round magazines. There’s a choke tube installed in the barrel but the owners manual doesn’t say what kind of choke tube it is. I’m assuming that it’s a “cylinder” size choke tube but I’m not sure. Siaga and JTS magazines both work in the gun. The gun has an adjustable gas system to adjust depending on the type of shells you’re firing. It can chamber either 2 3/4” or 3” shells. I’m not sure if it works with shorter shells. I’ll have to test that. I installed an unissued Polish AK-47 sling on it. Standard AK slings work well. The sling swivel on the buttstock and the front sling mount are standard AK styles. It looks like the metal is blued but there are some plastic parts on it like around the magazine well. The safety is a standard AK style. The rear sight is recalibrated from a standard AK-47. The numbers correspond to distances in meters. The owners manual explains what those are but it’s not very straightforward. With a shotgun though it’s pretty relative depending on the shells you’re using. Overall, I’m really happy with this gun. It should be very reliable, it’s versatile, and the price is really good. It’s well made.

Shipping was fast and easy just like it always is with bud's. Took it out yesterday and it ran flawless! For the money, you can get it. Good quality and a cheap price! You can't lose!

I recently received it. SHOT 20 Rds through it and it shot great. No issues so far. I'm glad I bought it.

I’ve shot 100 rounds 00 buckshot 1350 FPS and low recoil 1200 FPS at gas setting 2 with no issues, both 2 3/4 shells. I should probably experiment more with the settings with lower velocity ammo and think that may be why people have jamming. Also the gun did need some oiling before I took it out to the range. So far I’m definitely happy with the operation of it, ton of fun to shoot!!

I just want to focus on the quality of the build of this weapon. It is not top quality, but it is very well built for the price. The frame is made of thick stamped steel and most the parts are machined steel/aluminum. The bolt itself appears to be forged. The only cast parts are the gas block and the front sight/trunion along with the stock insert. That's really it as far as cast parts. I do want to point put they were cast pretty well though. And I seriously doubt the amount of gas directed into the gas block will crack from failure short of outright abuse and improper ammo. I have no reason to doubt that this gun would last a lifetime with proper care. It is rock solid and truly a great shotgun. It is intimidating. Heavy and rugged. Very solid purchase and a reliable weapon.

After close inspection, cleaning, and fresh lube I couldn't be happier with my new JTS M12AK-T1. Will cycle any ammunition and great quality firearm.

It's magnificent buckshots does the job every round.

The JTS shogun was an awesome purchase! Thank you Bud's!

I bought this JTS M12AKT1 semi-automatic AK shotgun in August of 2020 I didn't get to fire it until November of 2020 but when I did it was amazing, it fired without any problems what so ever I truly love this gun. As shotguns go it has a kick to it but I had no problems firing it at the range I go to. It's an amazing gun very much worth the money I paid for it...would not mind having another one. If you're looking for a good dependable semi-auto shotgun this is it. It comes with two 5 round magazines, I purchased two 10 round magazines to go with it.
