That magazine extension bayonet lug is a clever idea.
It is and the prices are awesome!!
I just bought one brand new for $199, to say Im pumped (no pun...actually pun intended). I DID NOT know about the bayonet lock, that is the next purchase lol
I really like mine. Even though I have the Bayonet Lug, I will eventually take it off, I don't need it, but it's kinda cool!!
I have both the marine finish and the blued version. They are beautiful and work
But remove the peep sight because it shoots to high
@@justinpennington7682 Really, It didn't for me, but I will try again!!
@@justinpennington7682 mine shoots a little high too. I usually put the green dot lower and the middle empty space is wear the shot lands. It's a good shooter. Let's see if it can keep up with my Maverick 88 that has 1000 shells.
You made me actually laugh wtf nice and simple review
I'm glad I could brighten your day!!
BIG BOYS IN THE BUILDING
You lost me there!!
@@yrsued you said “of course it’s a shotgun and it’s going to give you and oweee on the shoulder but that’s why we’re big boys” hahahaha finally someone that understands man up and have fun and be safe. Keep up the amazing work my friend love your videos
@@jharron LOL I'm old, I don't remember what I say on the Videos ;). Thanks for watching!!
@@yrsued that’s what I tell my wife when I forget to take out the trash hahahahaha
@@jharron That line doesn't work with my wife though, I try, but doesn't work!!
I have this shotgun with bayonet. If BANGITY BANG doesn’t work STABBITY STAB surely will
I had the Bayonet Lug Assembly for photos and for the Video, but I eventually took it out. IF you run out of BB's, you can use this as a club!!
@ I’m an old soldier well versed in BANGITY BANG & STABBITY STAB and I guess I could add CLUBBIYT CLUB if necessary😉 thanks for the idea
@@jerrysodan3373 This thing is a beast, It's one powerful club!!
@ , LOL I hope it never comes to doing a Davey Crockett at the Alamo routine.
@@jerrysodan3373 Me neither, but at least the option is there!!
"He shot my arm off. that was too funny. Thats from that gas station video when that old man shot that Robber. lol
Nothing like an 80 year old man from Norco, CA and one shotgun!! BTW, he suffered a Heart Attack that day and was back to work the next day!! Tuff old goat!!
I really like this gun. I'm interested in their reliability after hundreds of rounds through them. It's just so beautiful with the wood they use
It is a good shotgun for the price. Really good shotgun, it should perform as good as it looks.
I have 150 rounds through mine. Im trying to get to 500 by the end of the month. No issues yet.
@@megaman010391 Just like me, nothing bad yet!!
hard to fuck up a pump
Still good fellas?
Lmaoo why he bring up the video like that. “He blew my arm off..” 😭😭
Well, the Dude F**ked around and FOUND OUT that pointing a loaded AR at an old man is NOT a bright idea!!!
Can you add a light to the front of it?
This shotgun takes Mossberg Furniture, so you can add a Magpul Kit and attach ANYTHING you want in it.
Hope it can be had I'm Illinois with banana republic gun laws.
Bayonet on that hanging on the wall would be a great piece of art. The ghost ring looks very substantial and made of steel not plastic like some. Marine coat and wood is eye catching. I'm that guy who keeps his stuff looking like new so no range worries.
I might change and store the wood, it takes Mossberg furniture, mine will look like Hammered Dog Shit fast!! I run my shotguns hard!!
Nice piece 👌
YUP, you can't beat the price!!
Looks nice.
It is a good shotgun and a great price too!!
Will this handle the mini shot shells?
Honestly, didn't try it, I think we must try that soon!!
Manufacture says it’s not recommended.
@@bannanapancake I don't think they will reliable work.
If you install the adapter and follower it should. I have one on my shockwave and it work perfectly. They're only $30 on ebay. I just bought this gun and will probably get another set. I've heard conflicting info though. I thought this gun was based on the rem 870 but many are saying Mossberg accessories fit so not sure on that.
US M1 Garand Leather Rifle Sling WWII 1907 Pattern Springfield Gun Sling WWI 1903 Black Brown Steel Brass . they have the exact color as the wood you have to choose before ordering it. Looks Awesome thank me later .Amazon
Yes, that would be optimal, I have a couple. I also have slings from Andy's Leather, but I used whatever I have around, . I will show my new sling soon!!
Sweet!
It is!!
Don’t butch that wood , lol , that’s a nice looking shotgun
I take good care of my wood stocks, but they do get beat up at the range!!
A trip to VCS would tame er down a bit😉😋
I liked it when Vangs was in Chino, now it's a long drive to Vegas ;). But I can always call on Cody to do work on my guns!!
@@yrsued not sure if Hans is "retired" retired, or still doing any side work. Really a personable dude. Stopped out at the "Property" on the Friday prior to GAS, the Wife and I were on Vacation in Sedona and a few days in Prescott. Had planned for 9 months prior to have lunch with Ed but..........🙏🏻😿. Ran into Sheriff Ken. The place has changed but still feels the same since my first course in 2004, and the last course I did there in 2009, Vets Carbine. Welcomed as always and for whatever reason, they remember you, well at least Sue did😉
@@alu.304 LOL, Susan!! The first thing she says, "Honey, I can open a tab for you". Don't fall for it!! It will cost you!!!
I was there two weeks ago and last week. It always costs me money to go there!!
@@yrsued right🤣🤣🤣
How do you find an indoor range that allows buckshot. That’s even more impressive.
Well, most if not all indoor ranges here in the Valley allow Buckshot.
Where can you purchase the bayonet.
ANY M9 Bayonet will fit it!!
@yrsued thanks I will try an find one
@@brycefugate4416 I don't know if the M7 fits, I know the M9 does!! They can be found very easily as Mil-Surp
I'm wondering how the pump slide action feels?? Most Turkish made shotguns I've came across are very stiff and gritty. But while you were shooting, looks like it might be pretty smooth. Thanks for the video!!
Is it as smooth as a well used 1960's 870? Probably not, but, it is very smooth for such a modestly priced shotgun. I like it!!
@@yrsued Cool! Thanks
@@crazyhorseracing6130 I'm a big Pump action shotgun fan, I always find a good part in all of them, this one is no exception
Beutiful shotgun!!!
Yes and you can't beat it for the price
What about 1oz. Slugs?
I can do that later on another Video. For the most part, when training at Gunsite, I used Buck Shot. for CQB Stuff, Slugs I would use for longer shots. There is a great potential for over penetration with Slugs in CQB.
It will cycle 1 oz slugs no problem. I own this gun and know from my shoulder telling me not to shoot 1 oz slugs 😅
@@matthewholzmueller6292 Yes, you can "FEEL" Slugs.
Omg that is a beautiful shotgun found these for $199.00 didn't know how nice they were from the pictures they have
I illustrated an article for the Scattergun Issue of Guns & Ammo, great shotgun for the price!!
@@yrsued I don't need another gun but after seeing these I think I'll have to add it to my gun safe..and for $199.00 can't beat the price.
@@kalashnikov4784 Everyone needs another shotgun and for the price, you can't say no to it!!
@@yrsued yeah I do love a good shotgun think I'll add it to my gun safe,and I love the wood that's one them classic firearms is where they have them for $199.00
@@kalashnikov4784 If you had to buy this wood, for any shotgun, it would run you more than the $200 you pay for this gun!!
Question: I just got mine and I added the extention. I got 7 plus one in the gun, 2 3/4 shells. Is this possible?
I haven't filled my tube up yet, but I will soon, but if you got 7, then it's possible
I got 6 on mine
@@yrsued Thank you.
@@kendrickkeener6291 My pleasure
No
Any aftermarket parts work on these?
Honestly, I don't know, haven't tried.....yet!!
So only one question: when I look at this on Tokarev USA's website it displays it with a corncob style pump. Am I looking at a different version or what's the deal?
I just checked the Tokarev USA Site and you are 100% correct sir. The only guess I have, and it's ONLY a guess, is that the factory changed the Forearm sometime in 2023. I say guess because I haven't contacted the importer to ask them directly. I got this shotgun in August 2022, for Photography for a magazine, when the photos were done, I fired it and I liked it, so I did this video. I don't like doing videos on products I don't like. In all honestly, I prefer the corncob forearm over this one on the video. The corncob fits this shotgun style and look much better.
@@yrsued agreed! I love the corncob pump too! I'd be disappointed to get one without it to be honest.
I've looked at a lot of shotguns lately trying to decide and this one is my favorite for the price
@@ALCvideoprofile You can't beat it for price, accuracy and reliability!! It IS a good shotgun and it is priced RIGHT!!
They have the same shotgun with two different foregrips. This one I think is the older one, as I think they updated to the corncob. They are the same part number, except this style has like an a1 after it, and the corncob doesn't.
Does this shorgun have Benelli/Baretta Mobile Chokes? If so, which chokes does it come with?
Honestly, I don't know what chokes it takes, it does come with a Cylinder installed and two more chokes, but I don't know what the notches mean!!
@@yrsued 1 notch = Full Choke.
3 notches = Modified Choke.
5 notches = Clyinder Choke.
@@christophertate6453 THANK YOU VERY MUCH sir!!
The Wallet has a Full and a Modified the gun has the Cylinder!!
Thanks again sir!! Learned something I should have learned 20 years ago!!
@@yrsued U'r welcome.
@@christophertate6453 😁
Did you add the plus one or plus two mag extension?
When I got this one, almost two years ago, I put in the +1 with the Bayonet Attachment, but eventually removed the Bayonet Attachment and never put it back on again.
@@yrsued where do you find parts for this gun? Will Mossberg or Remington furniture fit on it?
@@thomaslikescars Don't quote me, but I think Mossberg Furniture fits it. I can find out though
@@yrsued I put my foreend from my 590 Shockwave on my tx3, of course the shockwave four end is a little short so I didn't screw it down or anything. And I have no idea how to take the butt plate off without damaging it. The stock looks like it would fit a Remington 870 stock more, haven't taken it off to see what the inside looks like. I appreciate you
@@thomaslikescars I thought someone told me it was Mossberg furniture all the way!!
Cool
Yes it is, thanks for watching!!
Dang! After years, he’s still replying! What a guy! I just bought my own today on a good black Friday deal! Can’t believe it went up $200 in 2 years! Hope you are living life well boss man! God speed 🙏🏻
@@body7156 Why would I stop replying to those who comment here. If you take time to leave a comment I should reciprocate. You made a great purchase. Enjoy it!!
Pull it in tight and it doesn’t hurt……
Depending on the loads you use!!
How much does it cost And can you get it at your local gun store?
Prices depends on the store you buy from, they set the prices!!
Availability?? That depends if you store orders it!!
Midway Usa store sells them too
@@cle-chi Ya, Midway and a whole lot of other great Online stores!! One REALLY cool thing about Midway, they ship REALLY fast!!
Not bad for an 870 clone. Looks & functions better than most of those Turkish junk imports, at least the few rounds you put through it anyways. Would like to see the black one too though.
God bless!
I really like this shotgun!! Does everything I want for the best price!! This stock ROCKS. It's beautiful!!
@@yrsued yeah it looks good!
@@KendrasEdge757 YUP, very nice firearm!!
@@yrsued I wonder if it’s close enough to take 870 parts. Does it have the new 870 bolt and carrier they decided to screw up the original design and change it to few years ago or does it have the original 870 style bolt?
@@KendrasEdge757 In all honesty, I haven't taken it apart enough to verify 100% compatibility!! But I will let Marty do that!
I have the black one with mag tube extension and bayonet ug which are both sold on th SDS Imports website for cheaps. Im shooting it in my profile pic. We stick watermelons on a bayonet and shoot them that way. There's vids n my channel of that, highly recommend the bayonet n these for that reason. Cabbages go up pretty good too lol.
You do you, we don't damage or waste food in our channel!! I'm NOT a Libtard, but I'm the child of two Great Depression parents, we never waste or damage food, NEVER!!!
Shotguns for me, do not need sights. Just point in a general direction. LOL!
Not if you want to be accurate, like the San Diego cop that took a headshot on the bad guy holding his girlfriend hostage, with Buckshot!!
My friend got one last week. A couple days ago we went to the range. The thing is a piece of junk. Wouldn't feed anything we put in it. Big disappointment.
OK, were YOU there??
Did YOU Shoot it??
What Ammo was used??
Did he use Shorty, Micro, or Mini Shells??
Has he tried contacting SDS Imports??
Because you're about the first person to say theirs didn't work, but then again, it's not your gun and we know nothing about your friend!!
@Yamil R. Sued Ouch, I didn't mean to offend you. Yes I was there. We shot a couple brands of birdshot and some winchester buckshot. He has contacted the company and yet to hear back. But it has only been a couple days at this point. The internals of the gun have several metal portions which appear to have been punched through with matching tool marks on the outside of the gun. Very odd. But it was a $200 Turkish shotgun. I don't know what else we should've expected.
@@The.45Monk You have NOT offended me, I spoke to the folks at SDS, the importers of this shotgun at SHOT Show and they told me that the shotgun is covered under their warranty, if it doesn't work, just call them and they will DEFINITELY take care of it!! Like I said, this one is still running fine, without an issue.
Your friend should contact SDS and they will fix or replace.
@Yamil R. Sued Thank you for your help. He gave them a call and they quickly sent him a new barrel. We tried it out and it didn't fix the issue. Seems to be something in the loading mechanism. But given their quick response with a new barrel I'm sure they'll continue to help him out.
@@The.45Monk If a new barrel didn't fix the problem, they will take the shotgun back, fix it or replace it with a new one!! That is how they roll!!
sighting in a shot gun haaaaaaaaaa silly
Silly is to think you can put any Optic on any firearm and it will hit where the optic is pointing with every ammunition you put in it!!
YOU HAVE TO SIGHT IT IN!!
👍👍
