Where's it made? That will answer many questions for you.

$400 is a lot when you can go out and get a Mossberg 500 or Remington Express with the extra barrel for less money.

Also the Maverick has extractors, not ejectors.

Not in the US..........

I would be REAL leery of anything that cheap having any semblance of quality when it comes to an O/U - there are too many labor-intensive steps in making a good quality O/U, corners had to be cut to make that price point

Just in case someone is interested in this shotgun. I made a video how to deactivate the safety that won't allow you to shoot when the gun is pointed down.

Got my new HS12 in today!

It doesn't have the same trigger return spring as the Hunter model. Other than that it seems great so far. This weekend I'll test her out.
