Gun looks better in...
Gun looks better in person, real solid feel, action is tight. As I'm breaking in it having some issues with it getting hung up when its feeding in a new shot shell. Also the fire/safety switch was installed incorrectly. The trigger pulls on safety and is locked on fire. Been trying to find this gun for over a year, thx Buds yall made this process fast and easy and at a reasonable price.

As always, smooth...
As always, smooth dealing with Bud's. Gun is just to much fun !!! Did need a good cleaning before first use, heavy lube in action and mag's. Did take a couple trips shooting to get the 2 3/4 to cycle reliably ---- must be above the 1300 velocity. Purpose bought for home defense, will be great.

Questions & Answers
Q: legal in the communist state of NJ? thanks
Author: Samuel I.
(4) ANSWERS
A: Samuel, unfortunately no due to being a Semi-Auto with a Pistol Grip. details under Shotguns here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/new_jersey_restrictions.pdf
Author: James G.
A: Sorry but no, this is not new jersey compliant because of the pistol grip. I always recommend if people want a tactical shotgun to go pump action because they dont have the same strict laws like semi automatics. Hope this helps.
Author: Josh T.
A: Samuel, no, our brilliant leaders here in The Peoples Rupublik of NJ think a pistol grip somehow makes a shotgun more deadly. Don't forget to vote on Tuesday. Have a great day!
Author: Ed C.
A: the combo of the pistol grip and the detachable mag makes it illegal

Q: I don't understand why it's not doing semi auto... like I have to manually pull back the chamber every time. Why?
Author: Zachary L.
(3) ANSWERS
A: Outside of broken/defective parts, reliable semi auto operation is almost entirely dependent on ammo choices. The manufacturer has recommendations on shell lengths and load weights here: https://www.legacysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Citadel_BOSS25BreakIn_PDF.pdf
Author: Trevor D.
A: Hi Zachary and welcome. Make sure you break it in with 1300 fps plus ammunition. A trick is to store it for a couple of days with the bolt locked back and retry. If it still does not function correctly, please contact Legacy Sports Customer Service for a resolution at https://www.legacysports.com/service-and-repairs/ --- Cheers and stay safe!
Author: James G.
A: Hi Zach, with a lot of these Turkish imports, they need high velocity shells to properly cycle, at least 1300 fps. budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/117651/federal+top+gun+sporting+ammo+12+ga.+2.75+in.+1330+fps+1+oz+8+shot+25rd+box .
