What Country is it made in??

Hi Thomas and welcome. It is made in Turkey and imported and distributed by Black Aces Tactical. Quality control is hit or miss but, mostly miss. Cheers and stay safe!

Hi Thomas and welcome to the Buds Community. Foster Type Slugs are best with Improved Cylinder Choke. Sabot Type Slugs with Modified Choke. Please refrain from firing any slugs through Full Chokes. Cheers and stay safe!

Hi Thomas, of the 3 choke tubes that are included with this shotgun, you will get the best results for slugs with the improved cylinder choke tube. Do not fire slugs with the full choke tube installed. Stay safe & have a great day!

Can you mount a red dot on it as is ?

Ken, this is not drilled & tapped. I actually own this gun, it has a 3/8 dovetail rail. You will need this adapter to mount a red dot >>>>> budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/132553/ncstar+adapter+3+8+dovetail+to+picatinny+rail+black ......p.s. I just watched the video James linked to and it says nothing about being drilled & tapped.

The Stoeger M3K is a well made, reliable, dependable shotgun. And its made in the same factory as Beretta, and Benneli, and its only about $100 more then the black aces, in stock here https://www.budsgunshop.com/search.php/q/stoeger+m3000

Yes it is drilled and tapped for a rail. James Reeves at TFBTV did a torture test on this shotgun and it was no longer functioning after 416 rounds. Good honest review here https://youtu.be/TZi3rDHYJEU

Kenneth, yes it is drilled and tapped for a rail mount : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvNwqC8Qcc8

Practically no information online. I recommend contacting BLACK ACES Tactical (distributor of BLACK ACES firearms) representative for this. Contact them HERE ( https://blackacestactical.com/contact/ ) I hope this helps!

Is there an extended magazine tube that will fit this shotgun?

Michael, check with Black Aces for +6 extensions : https://blackacestactical.com/product/pro-x-semiautomatic-combo/

What is the overal length with bird grip

Tim, with the birds head grip this has a overall Length of 31.25 inches. With the stock on the overall length is 39 inches even. Hope this helps.

Tim, I can state with 100% certainty, the length with the stock is 39 1/4", I just measured mine. I did not measure it with the bird's head grip, but I'm reading 31". Have a great day!

Tim, overall length is 39.75 inches overall length with Full Stock and 32.5 inches with the Pistol grip. Cheers and stay safe!

Is this New York legal?

Cami, yes this is NY state legal. https://www.budsgunshop.com/state_restrictions.php

Cami, it sure is. This has no restricted features, so this is perfectly legal in new York. Hope this helps.

Cami, yes it is NY legal. Cheers and stay safe! Details under Shotguns here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/new_york_restrictions.pdf

Is this shotgun reliable enough to bet your life on it??

Roberto, yes these are reliable shotguns. I would definitely recommend testing it with your intended self defense ammo. Things happen where the ammo you plan to use just won't cycle properly, or it came from the factory with issues. I always test any firearm before trusting my life to it. Hope this helps

Roberto, you will need to acquire and test ** Your Shotgun**. I don't care who the manufacturer is, always test your firearms before trusting your life to them.... period. Things happen and even the top tier makers can have lemons. You should be good but, test and verify... always. Cheers and stay safe!

Roberto, yes sir, I personally own this gun and have found it to be very reliable. I have about 1000 rounds through mine so far without any hiccups. Have a great day!

This comes with a birdshead grip?

Roderick, it sure does. This comes with both the standard stock and birds head grip. Hope this helps.

Roderick, yes Sir, it is part of the package. https://www.ammoland.com/2020/08/black-aces-tactical-pro-series-smax-12ga-shotgun/#axzz7M6XF43In

Does this work with the magazines and drums as well?

Sorry but no, this will not work with any detachable magazines. This is a tube fed shotgun. Sorry but hope this helps.

No it does not. Their pro m series does though. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/723013985/black+aces+tactical+pro+series+m+semi-auto+12+ga+shotgun+batsasw18+185+barrel+1-5+round+magazine+wood+furniture+walnut

Joel, no but this one will >> https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/723013985/black+aces+tactical+pro+series+m+semi-auto+12+ga+shotgun+batsasw18+185+barrel+1-5+round+magazine+wood+furniture+walnut ....This takes Saiga 12 style magazines. >>> https://www.budsgunshop.com/search.php?q=saiga+12+magazines&type= .....Have a great day!

Joel, unfortunately no Sir. The shotgun can be only tube feed or detachable magazine feed and not both simultaneously. This is tube feed only. Cheers and stay safe!

NO, this is a tube-fed shotgun and cannot use magazine or drum. If you want magazine compatible shotgun, try the Black Aces Pro Series M which uses Saiga 12 mags and drums. I hope this helps!

Is this compatible with Remington or Mossberg furniture?

Cody, no these are Turkish made shotguns. Have a great day!
