Spartan = Baikal = Russian made = very good for low price.

they say right under it "by remington arms"
seems like a remington shotgun, I cannot afford an expensive shotgun,plus shotguns are so fun anything more then single shot and i'd go broke really fast

Not sure what your price range is but you can get a Benelli nova pump action shotgun for around $279 - $299 most places.

Fires 2.75", 3", and 3.5" slugs and shot

Nice gun, reliable and proven. Benelli makes some awesome products.

"By Remington Arms" means it was imported by Remington...from Russia. They are good quality shotguns. If you have a little extra cash the double barrels look mighty fun.

They're very tough,reliable guns.I like my single shot that I got from EAA several years ago.They imported the Baikals before Remington.

Thanks! you can shoot slugs through a single shot right,or does it make the barrel "vibrate" too much?

Nothing to do with vibration, it's your choke that determines.
Generally recommended not to put slugs through anything but cylinder bore or improved cylinder on a smoothbore, Brenneke says their slugs are designed to run through any choke up to full.

What does Mod stand for then I guess modified what does that mena, can i shoot slugs from it safely and maintain barrel form/strength?

Mod is Modified.
Generally it runs Cylinder (or cylinder bore), Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full, with a couple variations in between.
Cylinder is no choke, Full is maximum choke. Modified is about halfway in between.
You may get a couple responses from people who'll say they shoot slugs through Modified chokes everyday, but it's not recommended by any maker I know of, with the noted exception of Brenneke slugs. I wouldn't do it.

If you get it for a decent price, it'll be worth it. Don't shoot slugs through it without any choke in it since it has threads. Use Improved cylinder choke (I/C) It seems to have everything for a single shot. If it kicks too much, just add lead shot into the stock to make it heavier. Personally, I would want it to carry light.
