Remington oversight but russian tooled and built. They are supposed to be very tough guns, they're is u tube video of guys shooting 5 rounds- throw it in the mud, 5 more, in the mud, over and over without failure to feed.

I was gonna buy one but then the russians jumped into the georgian thing and i went with the remmy with "MADE IN THE USA" stamped on it. Glad i did, but sure couldnt fault anyone for getting the ruskie..J.R.

I have one and for the money and a semi-auto shotgun it works great. I have only one problem with it my rem chokes will not fit and I had to buy a couple of chokes at Bass Pro for $3x.xx a piece. I had it jam once but we were shooting clay's and I had probably 200 rds through it in a very short time and did a rapid fire and the slide stayed back. I tapped it close disassembled and cleaned and went back to shooting and haven't had a problem since.
