[@robertsherman5217]

The best 200 I have ever spent , this shotgun is my favorite I have ever owned and I have owned probably 25/30 shotguns over the years!! 💥 ❤ 🎉

[@mobilegamersunite]

Right! Most people just can't believe it. I totally agree with you BTW, great guns, I'll be ordering another one when they release the new ones to the US

[@ericsmallwoodd3977]

Same!!

[@user-vf5hx3lz3k]

I wish I had seen your post before wiring mine. Thread reads like a broken record thanks to me. I love the ability to CO witness; something I require on ALL of my builds. Since i leaned on iron sights, I ALWAYS want iron sights. Authentic Diamond Heads or the small MP Pros ALL THE WAY

[@lukeanderson1330]

I own one of these some of the others who reviewed it say you can install any AR grip. That is true however you have to completely disassemble it to reattach the nut at the end of the bolt that holds the grip to the receiver. I had an amazing experience with Shane at Hatsan regarding this issue he was extremely helpful. In the end I am extremely impressed with Hatsan customer service and I absolutely love my escort bull tac. Best 200 ever spent! Great video!

[@mobilegamersunite]

Thanks 😊 and I strongly agree 👍 I've been having a blast with mine! Sub so ya get all the videos I'll be making with the bull tac. I'm making a home defense setup now to test out.

[@Psalm-yg6yi]

​@@mobilegamersunite No pun intended? 😂

[@mobilegamersunite]

@@Psalm-yg6yi yeah doe!

[@Bobs2cents]

I have a standard shotgun but I wanted a bullpup for home defense so I purchased this. I absolutely love it, but I’m with you and will clean it without removing those pins. The company has, since your video, modified that pin setup on mine and the instructions show how to break down and clean without separating the fore end from the action bars. For me, my only gripe was I felt every bit of the recoil more so than my long gun, but whatever, it is what it is and it works. This is a great value packed tool for the money.

[@mobilegamersunite]

Awesome 👌 yeah, I heard they fixed the pin issue...I might have to buy another one. As far as the recoil goes, you can add some weight to the rail (just not too much) And the 2 3/4 shells work great with a little less kick. 👍

[@earl-tf4qc]

Ordered and picking it up in few days. Can't wait.

[@mobilegamersunite]

Awesome 👌 I'm still happy with mine to this day

[@Psalm-yg6yi]

Ordered mine, February 23rd, 2024. Can't wait.

[@theaftermath525]

Just got one freaking love it

[@mobilegamersunite]

Yeah I'll be making an update video soon talking about simple upgrades make sure to sub so ya get the video. Don't overload the top rail without adding some support to where the rail tucks under the nut.

[@theaftermath525]

​@@mobilegamersunitethanks for the heads up and definitely will sub

[@mobilegamersunite]

@@theaftermath525 welcome to the family 🙏 🤗 🙏

[@Psalm-yg6yi]

March 8th 2024 Picked my Escort BullTac up March 4th at my local FFL. My optics arrives in four days. I'm a copy cat. I took your suggestion with the Monstrum Cyborg. Haha Haven't shot it yet. Looks great. These Escorts are always sold out at Palmettostatearmory. 😂

[@mobilegamersunite]

It's going to work out awesome 👌 plz keep me posted!

[@mobilegamersunite]

Aye, make sure to reinforce that top rail if you plan to add weight to it. I have a video showing where I reinforce the rail with a radiator hose clamp.

[@Barikade]

Modified 870 for Bullpump as i understand. Love mine as far as handling and maneuvering. Would have preferred m-lock though

[@nedalrabadi1]

Can you do a video about cleaning it And the upgrades that work for it . . . I just bought one

[@mobilegamersunite]

Yeah I'll see if I can link it here for ya. Gimme a minute plz 🙏

[@mobilegamersunite]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKCYeWSppZKVpKMsi=inWS3D0Crh1nATtx Here ya go, this one took a minute to upload

[@heyzeus9497]

I bought the PX "Buds Guns exclusive" whatever that means lol but damn good firearm for 239. Put about 50 rounds with zero problems, the roll pins issues have been fixed which is awesome!!

[@mobilegamersunite]

Yep! I'll pick up a new one if I can find them for 199 again!

[@mobilegamersunite]

What color is your exclusive model?

[@theaftermath525]

I love mine i think i got the updated one were those pins are ur talking about mine are covered with to like box lever things

[@mobilegamersunite]

Yeah, you got the new model, Gratz! It should be a sweet little shotgun. Mine has been reliable enough to become a home defense closet shotgun.

[@theaftermath525]

​@@mobilegamersuniteya that's what I was thinking getting it was home defense fun to shoot around to also it's a great bag gun to

[@mobilegamersunite]

@theaftermath525 fully agree 👍 I didn't expect anything but a range toy out of mine.. can't argue with the performance tho. Mines about 700 shells in with no problems. I've never ev3n taken mine apart for cleaning.

[@BugsyNY]

I can't find or remember the youtuber but he came up with a fix for the pins, hopefully Hatsan makes the fix upgrade. I like to take my guns down so that would be a problem for me, but still sold on getting one very soon. I like the style, the 870 action, and of course the price for what you get.

[@mobilegamersunite]

Me and my son just took her shootings again. We never cleaned her, and she still runs perfectly. Yeah I'm happy for the price, it's hard to find value like this. Welcome to the channel

[@Psalm-yg6yi]

Hatsun already fixed it

[@mobilegamersunite]

@@Psalm-yg6yi yeah I know

[@luke50469]

Is there any way to un "nuder" the mag tube?

[@mobilegamersunite]

I do believe so. Essentially one would take the crimp out. Or replace the tube with a new one. I've been waiting for the company to start selling parts on the US market.

[@lhandlott]

on mine, I leave the red on when is loaded with dragon breath, for the other ammo I don't

[@mobilegamersunite]

LMFAO 😆 I can't wait to try some dragons breath 😭 😋

[@user-vf5hx3lz3k]

Best 200 bucks I ever spent brother. Some anti-walk pens will fix those. The Hassan Bull Pimp is the shit.

[@mobilegamersunite]

Yeah they already have a fix with the new model they just dropped, and they have a mag fed bulltac now that looks good 👍

[@MasterPGC]

@@mobilegamersuniteYep the one I just bought has the pins covered on both sides. It’s great when a company listens to complaints.

[@mobilegamersunite]

@MasterPGC yeah, they did that fast too! Now they just need to reinforce the top rail a bit so it can hold the weight of accessories without any issues. My part 2 video shows my fix for the problem

[@TheCharlemagne1978]

I want to get a smaller red dot for mine. It looks really goofy with a holosight

[@mobilegamersunite]

The cyelee bull or ghost is nice because they shield the window (or at least try to) I've been working on a Meprolight MPO PRO-F (it's a closed emitter dot, and it has 3 different reticle options to change) both options I named here are under 300 stones as well.

[@steveshone4084]

Mine came like yours did. You can rotate the cap on the spring tube, remove it and just pull the plug out. It takes less than 30 seconds to fix, no tools needed

[@mobilegamersunite]

Awesome 👌 thanks for the info

[@crabtrap]

is the plug attached to that 'crimp'ring? doe mod increase to 1 or 2 shells?

[@mobilegamersunite]

@@crabtrap nah. It's a separate plug from that crimping. I think the crimping eats up 1 shell for us. Did you see the new model they have with the side pin fixed?

[@steveshone4084]

No, if you remove the gas tube spring, there is a plug that you can pull out, so the gun hold 5 shells in the tube and one in the chamber@@mobilegamersunite

[@mobilegamersunite]

@steveshone4084 yes. That's what ours holds too. There is a crimp in the mag tube because by import law we can only have 5 in the tube. Without a crimped mag tube it looks like it could hold 6. Just IMO. I will be trying to order a different mag tube when the online store opens

[@williswd]

Love it! Great review! Can you shoot steel shot through it?

[@mobilegamersunite]

I ran about 40 steel shot so far at 1550fps. It worked well! This shotgun has no choke to worry about.

[@williswd]

Thank you!

[@ismailsahinbey]

I bought the px.A crazy shotgun... There will be no problem unless you remove the pins. Because it will loosen every time it is disassembled. Also, there is no need to disassemble the pin for cleaning. For those who see this as a problem, I am sure Hatsan will solve this problem in the coming days. I'm waiting for the shooting video..

[@mobilegamersunite]

[@m.kriddick2731]

The latest version has a spring-loaded retainer for the slide pins that keeps them from working out.

[@mobilegamersunite]

@m.kriddick2731 yeah I seen that on the new ones...I'm waiting for the full pic rail one.

[@Bill_devine]

Those two pins put tiny screws with lock tight and lock bolts 😮

[@mobilegamersunite]

If it comes down to it I just might have to

[@6hilltop6]

Contact Hatsan Usa they updated that part

[@bretaschleman8289]

U can change the grip. But why?

[@mobilegamersunite]

It's a great grip! The rubber they use is great IMO. 👍 if they ever sell these grips separately, I'd order a few of them.

[@ronfisher2016]

Magtube extension available?

[@mobilegamersunite]

I was told they will start selling accessories and parts this year by a Hatsan rep I talked to online.

[@tigergray1100]

Does mini shells run on this bad boy?

[@mobilegamersunite]

Nope. That would be a cool idea tho. I've tested 3 inch magnum and 2.75. Those work great. It would be nice to load up with 10 of the mini shells

[@NicholasWolfwood-md7vm]

I wonder if it could be modified to use an opsol adapter. If its true that it's based on an 870 then it prolly cant though. It's too bad it's not based on the moss 500 design because then you could prolly use the adapter and run those awesome little minis.

[@commonsense3505]

Why couldn't you put a small screw on each side of the take down pins? Then they can't back out in either direction.

[@mobilegamersunite]

If it turns into any actual issue, I'll probably end up doing something like that 🙃 so far we are about 350 shells in with one cl3anout (barrel and bolt 🔩) with simple CPL She looks and works killer so far. I had a small issue when I overloaded the rail with a bunch of weight (not something most people would run into)

[@commonsense3505]

@@mobilegamersunite I ordered the 20 gauge Model about a half hour ago. I already have a 20 over/under and a buttload of shells for it . If that goes well, I'll jump on the 12g! At the price, might as well get the whole family. Haha

MP5

[@steveshone4084]

Just got one. Mine only takes 3 shells total, not the 5 as advertised. I guess there is a there is a plug in it, but it will be a pain in the ass to break it down to take it out. The two take down pins are shabby and I dont want to remove them

[@mobilegamersunite]

Are you sure? Maybe the mag tube spring is stuck on something 🤔 they should hold 5 shells. Mine has the crimped tube or I think it would hold 7. Maybe something is stuck in that tube? If you have to take it apart just double gorilla tape over the pins. That should hold you over while we find parts and full tube mags 😉

[@blacktactical14]

There is a wedge inside, so there are 3 cartridges. remove the wedge, the capacity increases

[@mobilegamersunite]

@@blacktactical14 yeah take that out if you can

[@mobilegamersunite]

@blacktactical14 mine has a crimp on the tube, so it only holds 5, is this the wedge you talking about?

[@mobilegamersunite]

Yo...if they somehow put the tube in backwards 🙄 maybe that's why it only holds 3?

[@TomKomer]

They have fixed this by placing a block over each side of the gun. I love this gun.

[@mobilegamersunite]

Yeah I seen that already, I'm glad they did that. I'll be making a video on how to reinforce the rail on this shotgun, because it can fail if it's loaded up with weight for accessories

[@Blackplumber333]

How do u put a sling on it

[@mobilegamersunite]

It comes with a sling that clips into the stock I believe

[@upinarms79]

Turkish shotguns are hit-or-miss with quality. Some are great, others... not so much. The pins and fittings look kind of jankey, that may be a problem after some wear, especially those roll pins walking out. Guns need to be taken apart to be serviced and cleaned from time to time. If you can't do that consistently, that's a problem. As for magazine tube capacity, there' should be a plug to limit capacity that you can remove to get at least another shell or two in. I'm not sure if there's a removable cap on the end or if it's got loctite on it or not, but if you can get to the magazine tube, you should be able to take it out. You'll also need a barrel wrench to remove the barrel.

[@robmiller4630]

Seen where some receive a sight

[@mobilegamersunite]

Yes, I believe they sold those for a little more...this one was 199 from psa I believe, and it only came with the sling.

[@user-vf5hx3lz3k]

Imported shorties cant have more than 5 rounds. Hence the crimp. Pulling the plug out will do nothing to increase capacity. Unless you reopen the crimp.

[@mobilegamersunite]

Agreed 👍 I want to buy a new mag tube with no crimp

[@foxhound9285]

@@mobilegamersunitedo they sell a mag tube without the crimp?

[@yddishmcsquidish3904]

Hatsan is actually an Arkansas company, they are just importing and rebranding these.

[@mobilegamersunite]

Sure, we still have to wait for them to import.

I take off sling if not slung

[@mobilegamersunite]

I left it on to remind myself to talk about it 😹 I'm surprisingly happy with it, and I'm not a 1 point sling fan..until now, it makes sense for a gun like this

[@crabtrap]

🚨Negitive for some: Not lefty-shooter friendly. No good work arounds for the non ambi sliderelease or eject port

Yes, this is not the best for a lefty, agreed. For the price tho...can you find anything that's amby?

[@crabtrap]

@@mobilegamersunite nope! And im working on afew ez mods. I removed top rail/handle, eject guide and its already better for lefty

They are making a full rail version of this shotgun I'm going to get. I'm glad you could make it more lefty friendly

[@crabtrap]

@@mobilegamersunite i ended up reattaching top rail. adding about 1" to the buttstock to move face back and removed ejectport guide. makes the shot gun about 90% ambi. slide release will always be an issue tho

I wish this would be lefty friendly. Everything is incredibly nice but it's only for the right hand people. Very sad.

[@mobilegamersunite]

They seem to listen to customers, so maybe in the future they will make a lefty version of the gun, that would be cool

[@kennethcook3127]

This isn’t better than the ksg

[@mobilegamersunite]

This had less problems at launch than the KSG....you can find KSG problems all over the internet. "Better" is always objective...especially in a world of people trying to cope with expensive mistakes 🙄 Sounds like you have a KSG. Do you have one of these as well to compare it to?

[@lintlicker4178]

Keltec sucks IMO

[@bretaschleman8289]

But it is much much cheaper. 🎉

[@mobilegamersunite]
