Customer Reviews for Girsan MC312 Camo 12 Gauge Shotgun

Great shotgun for the money

Not a good product, don’t purchase. The gun comes with a factory machined picatinny rail that has a major design flaw by machining out top of the receiver frame, so you can literally see into the action of the gun, which will allow rain, snow, cattails, and other debris to to into the gun while hunting. Don’t buy!!! Buds also has poor customer service as they post photo’s and video of a gun that doesn’t have the picatinny rail with the design flaw, and then won’t do anything to fix their listing error.

Shoots well with all the types of bird ammo I used in 2-3/4", 3", and 3 1/2", the different chokes are nice to have too.

great shotgun and great price! Has cycled flawlessly except for a few feed failures in the first 50 rounds of target loads. Oiled it and it has been great ever since.

It’s awesome. Would buy again.

Fantastic shooter. Would have preferred black, but at the time, just wanted this model regardless of color. I found it can be a little picky with ammo, but with Federal, I haven't had an issue. This thing absolutely cleans up when shooting clays.

I used this gun on a duck hunt out of the box and it performed flawlessly. In my opinion you can't go wrong with this gun for the price. Nice gun

Finally got out to break in the Girsan MC312. Crisp action, fast firing rate, no problems in my first 40 rounds. Did have one hang up when I loaded a low brass followed by a high brass, but I believe that is understandable to a point. Liking it, looking forward to duck/goose season.

Great gun! No issues has shot everything I've ran through it. Kicks like a mule!

Decent quality for the price point. Doesn’t come with case as earlier models did. Easy to teardown and clean.
However, I have had issues the two times I’ve used it so far with the next shell in line somehow getting trapped between the lifter and the bolt, rendering the gun inoperable. The barrel and bolt have to be removed to free the shell. Hopefully this is just a matter of working the gun in or maybe finding shells it prefers.

Gun's bolt would not go into battery after the break in period of 50 shells recommended by the manufacturer, and the last shell won't "push" into the carrier from the magazine. Please read the "fine print" carefully. Buds no longer supports the refund and replacement of only this gun as they do will all other Girsan's. Apparently EAA is the importer and Girsan is not the manufacturer for just this "camo" version. That means if there is any problem it will not be covered by the replacement and refund that Buds advertises for all the other "Girsan" models. This is false advertising in should be removed from the website. Never again....

Girsan MC-312, I was looking for another shotgun for crow, turkey, coyotes and after reading the reviews I bought one from Bud's. I have shot a lot of low brass shells and some 3" ones and have not had any issues.

Great gun for the price. I got one the next day after I purchased. Used a .665 tube and 3” Winchester Supreme 00 buckshot.

Absolutely love this gun! It’s super light and has shot everything I’ve put through it. Definitely recommend doing a good cleaning when you first get it. I’ve shot 2 3/4, 3, and 3 1/2 inch rounds with no issues.

At first I was very disappointed with this gun. I own 3 other inertia shotguns and this one was "initially" more problematic than any of them. I had many failures to feed and failures to eject using all types of ammo (even after Break-In). Even using 3 in and 3 1/2 magnum loads. Well, after examining every single part on this gun and determining there were no mechanical issues with any of the parts; I concluded that it must be something very simple that I was overlooking. I later discovered that the barrel had not been seating properly, even when the forearm bolt was hand tightened securely. I forced the barrel in hard and tightened the forearm bolt tighter than I thought I should, and now it fires perfectly!!! While I don't recommend anyone tightening the forearm bolt as tight as I did, it worked for me as a last resort. This gun is now 100% perfect and fires perfectly every time. I'm at 600 rounds now and counting.
As a side note the stock chokes enclosed pattern very well. I'm giving it 5 stars despite the initial headaches. It shoots too dang good not to!!!
