Customer Reviews for American Tactical Bulldog 12 Gauge Shotgun

This has been a good shotgun for me, it sometimes hangs up while attempting to feed roll crimped shells, I've only ran 2¾" shells through it but it is chambered for 3" comes with an assortment of chokes and a choke wrench.

Very pleased with this shotgun. Purchased for home defense. The only concerns I had when purchasing this was the brand name and the plastic sights. My first product purchase of a Turkish made weapon. Seems rugged. I've been running heavy magnums through it, and it handles well. The only thing I would change is the charging handle used to rack the action and the sights. I've added magpul metal fold down sights, a forward pistol grip, and a 1000 lumen light. Bud's was great as expected.

Received the gun within a week of ordering. Out of the box, I stripped, cleaned, and oiled it. I also manually cycled the action a couple hundred times to get the all the parts introduced to each other. It works fine with cheap Wal-Mart bird shot as well as No 2 shot. No issues with ammo. Recoil is less than I anticipated. It is fun to shoot, and no frills business like good looking.

Great shotgun. Smooth action, never misfires. Shipped fast from budsgunshop.com. Comes with 3 choke options for different round types.

Overall, this is a good shotgun. It took some breaking in, and I had some reliability issues with a couple of the 10 round magazines I bought. After a few hundred shells, I got it pretty well dialed in. The magazines I had issues with were ATI branded units I bought after I got the gun. The original 5 round magazine worked fine, and one other 10 round magazine worked fine. Once broken in, it ate just about every type of 12 ga. I fed into it. Low brass 8 up to slugs, with very little issue. It is a bruiser, but it is very fun to shoot. Being a bullpup it is very easily handled in indoors. I attached a MAGPUL vertical foregrip on it. Using the magazine as a foregrip is just awkward and look weird. But you need something there because you don't want to try and hold on to that metal pic rail while running out mags in that thing. No bueno. The included polymer sites work. They aren't fancy, but they get it done. I'll probably throw a red-dot on it and look at some other sight options soon. But for now the stock sights are on and I have added a weapon light. If I had to use it to defend my home, I would feel confident at this point. It isn't my first choice as I have other weapons ready for that purpose, but I wouldn't worry if it was all I had. Fit and finish are good. Not bad for the price.

Everything has been good. Easy to buy, easy to operate. The shotgun is very accurate, shooting clay traps 4 out of 5 at least. The only problem is that it was very hard to install the rear and front signs. I forced the rear sign in and chipped off some of the rail.

I researched bullpup shotguns for a long time before buying this one. It is AWESOME! It has the best mechanical setup of all I have seen. Works flawlessly. Take it down and give it a good cleaning and lubrication before you take it out to shoot it.

Very happy with this ATI Bullpup. I ran 100 rds of 1350 fps to break in and had no jams or flaws. Thanks Buds gun shop for a smooth transaction.

Buds came through the holiday season very well. The reason for 3 stars is mainly due to personal reasons and I have yet been able to go a range. Biggest personal problem I have with this model is if you're right handed, changing mags is a problem. To where you have to take your trigger hand and use for the change. Why there's no mag release on the left side of the firearm I don't know. The rails seem to be off by 1/16th to where it's extremely difficult to put the sights and any attachments. And also the firearm only came with just one magazine. Breakdown of the firearm was very easy thanks to the manual. I was bummed not to get a sticker from ATI like I have from other companies but that's just something I like to collect. Overall looks and feels great just need to get to the range for the real test.

I'll be looking for more made in Turkey designs. The Lira Exchange rate makes it affordable. I started with low brass bird shot and had feed problems with 2 3/4 shells. More of a magazine problem in my opinion. Low Maintence, runs smooth on everything else I have put through it. It seems to prefer 3in shells. The sights hold their picture without shifting under the `12 ga. thump. I will be getting a second magazine to use as a pore grip mainly. It definitly turns heads at the range and that is before it even barks. Instruction book needs work.

Nice weapon for the money.

Great Bullpup for home defense get the 20 rd drum mag it cycles flawlessly

My first look at this i was a bit unhappy with all the metal shavings from the machining and the plastic sights. I completely tore the gun down and cleaned it and blew all the shavings off. I had to file the plastic sights to get them to fit on the rail. After taking it to the range I was very happy with it! It ran everything i put in it flawlessly! Even the cheapest low brass shells i could find!

Beautiful firearm and practical in every way. The price was the original point that drew me to buying this specific mag-fed shotgun, though I had been looking at some other bullpup shotties too. The weight feels good, cycles cleanly, and is overall a very attractive firearm to look at. The bullpup style makes it very practical for home defense and clearing corners, so that's also nice. The only "complaint" that I'd have would have to be with the magazines and attaching them to the rail like a pistol grip (the bottom of the mags do slide onto picatinny rails). The mags do not come off the rail easy at all, so storing an extra mag on the bottom rail is extremely impractical unless it's empty and you just want the gun for aesthetic reasons. It looks cool but that's about it, takes a solid minute or so (or using a hammer) to bump the spare mag off when it's secured to the bottom rail. I'd recommend buying an actual pistol grip to use instead (mine's on the way) and simply store your spare mags on your kit. I also bought a red dot sight to replace the stock sights that it comes with, and also got a rail-mounted shell holder to add an extra 5 shells to what the gun can hold. Excellent gun, super cool to look at and handle, and amazing price overall. Would recommend, 10/10.
