TESTING the Cheapest Semiauto Shotgun: The Citadel Bosshog [Ep. 2]

[@scareypete13]

The upside, this gun would be great for training shooters on handling failures, emergency field stripping and repairs etc... it's like simulating a mossberg/Remington/beretta etc... that has fired thousands of rounds of high power loads in adverse conditions.

My step daughter bought me a Citidel Boss Hog for my birthday last year. Not wanting to hurt her feelings, I smiled and said thank you. Since then I have put several boxes of low base #8 birdshot , as well as a couple of boxes of #2 3inch magnum, a box of double 00 buck, and a box of slugs. The first shot with the #8 hung up on ejecting, after that I have never had an issue with it . It eats whatever I feed it and is as reliable as any of my more expensive guns. I guess I got lucky.

I have the Citadel Bosshog and this is what I did. Took it home, took it apart, cleaned off all the shipping grease and lubed every moving part like you are suppose to do. Took it to the range, fired 100 rounds of the recommended velocity ammo, ran with no problem other than the trigger pin starting to move. Took it home and did the same thing when I purchased this gun, and of course used a bit of loctite on the pin. When to the range again with a buddy, now we brought 200 rounds, 100 of them the cheap walmart bundle, 1200fps stuff. All fired no problem, pin stayed in place, I have since put a minimum of 600 rounds through this gun, added a tube extension and fires to this day without any issues. When you had the first failure and took it apart, I knew right away what your problem was, that whole gas ring was dry and dirty as fuck, your whole gun showed no lube what so ever. If you are going to do a torture test on an imported gun, you need to remove the shipping grease, it is not a gun lube, second, lube it up as per instructions. This failure was not a surprise to me one bit.

[@robertkeller9828]

This dude admitted he's an elitist who believes no semi-auto under a grand (rack) is worthy. He's like Sig owners who think their P320/p365 is the Pen ultimate handgun only AFTER they change out almost ev ery moving part before firing it. Given what you did, per Citadel's recommendations, that company has grounds for a lawsuit against this man child for deliberately abusing a brand new weapon out of the box for the purpose of defaming them. He was just like some spoiled brat at Christmas who wanted a 1000 buck dream bike but his parents got him a 200 dollar one, and then deliberately goes out to trash it in a tantrum. It's also the equivalent of reving a brand new car and never changing the break in oil. This was not "normal use". This was abuse. A Maverick 88 wouldn't have taken this punishment much better. If Citadel and/or their importer hasn't already brought suit, I urge common sense folks to share this video with an encouragement to do so.

[@Diemerstein]

@@robertkeller9828 I now have over 2000 shells through this gun, still no problem. I ended up putting a crimp on the trigger pin because it was still moving and that solved the problem which was no big deal to begin with. Not bad for a $175 semi shotgun plus a 8 round tube extension for $60. Yeah I got this gun when on sale with a military discount thanks to the US Marines.

@@JuggoJuggo I always thought the same thing. But found out there are in fact a ton of firearms manufacturers in turkey. Most produce shotguns for export. And most copy each other's designs. And practically all of them really suck at metallurgy so you get lots of broken or rapidly worn internal parts, if they work in the first place. Even the single shot rifles and shotguns I've gotten from turkey suffer from sears that wear down and create a dead trigger, or broken(snapped) hammers, triggers, and sears.

Nobody cares about your lame pump shotgun that's not a Citadel-Bosshog. It's still a lame pump shotgun and this video is not about pump shotguns.

[@MrTacklebury]

I bought an SDS Imports AR-T02C and got it for $199 with a 26" barrel and an 18.5" barrel. It's like a Beretta 1301 clone and it has thus far cycled every single thing I have put through it. 3" mags, Brenneke KO Slugs, 1650fps buckshot loads and target loads of 3 types etc. Never a failure thus far and handles target loads just as well as hot ones. One thing that is recommended for most semi-auto's is to clean it sometimes. Letting all the carbon build up is bad and also causes failures and shortens life spans. Not saying anything would have made that Citadel run, but I'm glad I bought the one I have and my brother got one too. Maybe someday I'll be sorry, but so far so good. If I had the funds for a 1301 I'd get it, but I can buy 7 of these for that price. lol

[@soggybiscuits9399]

that blue flame coming out of the chamber was pretty cool. Need to kill one of those panzer or JTS shotguns next.

[@mikeenos4040]

You got a lemon.. I have one with a little simple work runs like a champ .but I only use 2-3/4 shells . What I did to mine was to clean all the grease out and re lubed with CLP. I also polished the chamber with a wooden dowel with steel 0000 wool with Fitz to mirror polish.,cycled it manually about a thousand times and left it with the bolt locked back for a week ,then the following weekend I went to wally world and got a case of cheap estate 1250 fps # 8 and went to my shooting spot and shot like a charm no jams spit them all out. So I can't complain for the money I even shot 1oz slugs at 30 yards and was impressed with accuracy and also shot some 2-3/4 #5 using the full tube and pattern well for turkey. . I also did alittle de buring with some emery cloth around the loading port on the receiver, it was a little sharp . For 200 bucks it just fine for me and worth the money ,I don't think I would torture test with magum loads, I don't need mag loads anyways.. But I did out of the box have about every 3 round would stick a empty half way out. But cleaning and lubeing and especially polishing the chamber made it function flawless.. Great for a truck gun but yes it's a cheap gun and don't know how long it is going to last but so far so good and I have over 600 rounds through it. Another thing I do is to clean the gas system really good it gets pretty dirty after a 100 rounds .and make sure the barrel lock nut is tight too. I wouldn't trust it for a battle gun running it hard and through that kind of test,,I would find a differnt gun , for somthing to take out to the range and target shoot or maybe shoot some clay bird it just fine. These are hit and miss some guys get good ones and some are carp no matter what you do to it.,there are several good reviews on how good they run and as many on how bad they are. But remember your buy a cheap shotgun and it not going to run like a 1200 dollar Benelli So if you have a little gunsmith knowledge and do some work on it it will run fine.

I've had that ring come out of its groove, and induce a failure to go into battery. It's not a catastrophic failure, however. I've found if you pull the bolt to the rear, and let it fly home, on the first or second attempt the force of the bolt coming forward will reseat the ring. Mine shoots hot 2 3/4 buckshot pretty reliably. In 150 rounds I've had the gas ring stoppage 3 times, and every time I've been able to reseat it with one or two cycles of the bolt.

[@crankygunreviews]

The high velocity stuff makes the bolt outrun the magazine spring so it will fire and eject, but the bolt may pass by the next round without picking it up. That was the main issue with the Citadel Boss 25 I had... and the recoil sucked... and the Turkish factories cannot seem to figure out how to install the flip up sights at the factory. they are always on backward on the AR style guns. Overall, the only off-brand semi I have tested that works is the Tristar brand. The Raptor I bought has chrome lined barrel, chamber, and chrome plated bolt. It is smooth, runs everything even my light reloads, my heavy reloads, slugs, and buckshot. I only ran 2 3/4" shells through it, but it has been great with all of those. And tri star are about $350-400

[@AlexKS1992]

Probably the best way to test a shotgun to see if it’s good is to get some 3 inch shells and use all the various loads such as buckshot, slugs, turkey loads, waterfowl loads and maybe grab some Hornady Coyote Magnum loads. If the shotgun survives 3 inch magnums I’d say it’s good. Maverick 88 can handle the magnums but it seems like the Turkish shotguns just can’t, my advice is get a Maverick 88.

The only good thing about this gun is it's still somehow cheaper then most American made single shots. Strange times we live in.

[@KathrynLiz1]

Some of the Turkish semis are good reliable guns, but they cost in the $6-900 range, and they make some really nice doubles. The early semis had structural problems...the action bars used to part company with the piston... bad brazing.... I welded up dozens of them until they changed the design. They qualified as 'medium priced'.... I guess you get what you pay for. I have a Russian Baikal semi that has probably had at least 5000 rounds through it and it ALWAYS functions, even with really tatty ammo. The beauty of the Baikal is the adjustable gas system with excess gas bleed off via a spring loaded valve, so at the same setting would shoot anything from low recoil cowboy to 3" slugs with total reliability... good gun... I've had it since 1992, and it seems to out perform friends' guns that cost thousands of dollars. Chinese guns are the same...they run the gamut from very good to bloody awful...although if you stick to Norinco (they make all of the Army rifles etc.) they are fine... nothing fancy, but they are well made from good materials... A definite case of caveat emptor...

I couldn’t go through one range session without multiple failures. Brought it home and while cleaning it it slipped off my knees (I was cleaning on the floor, don’t ask why) and that 6 inch drop broke the bolt release and then the gun wouldn’t pull any shells from the tube. Not bashing Mossberg because I know my case is probably not the majority and I’ve had 590A1s and even mavericks that gave me years of faithful service.

Yeah seriously the cheap shotgun debate has been ended. Just buy a Maverick 88 and be done. Nearly as customizable as a 500 , reliable as heck, and comes in a variety of sizes and even a few different colors 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@augustinhernandez1581]

Thank you for what you do. It saves me a lot of time when deciding what to buy

[@Lexicologist1971]

The historical references cracked me up.

[@-Bile-]

Somewhere out there there's got to be a reasonably reliable semiauto shotgun for $500 or less.

[@austinfitterer9167]

Guys, James doesn’t make these videos to find cheap and reliable shotguns; he makes these videos to tell us cheap shit sucks and we’re poor.

[@chargerman440]

I would love to see a review of the CZ 712 G2! Think it could be just as good as the mossberg or the Beretta you tested.

[@c.h.u.d]

Lol NOBODY makes a more reliable shotty than mossberg

[@jamesmanning8795]

Man, I want to have a beer with James. Shit would be fun.

[@theimplication2581]

Good Video. I know exactly what to recommend to a few people for home defense now.

[@jamesriggs6210]

That's why I trust my shotgunning to Mossberg!

[@joeylandry5514]

We've seen you burn down the entry mossberg. How about Remington and browning?

[@MrJmd116]

Surprised I actually saw an ad for an ar15 before the video started

[@1nfamyX]

3:00 lmfao man i dont watch TFB normally but im thinking i should

[@InexorWoW]

Watching this holding my fully kitted benelli m4 saying to myself 'such filthy peasantry'.

[@davbing8195]

The Escort Slugger is cheaper, its only 165$ but its also a pump. Still its a decent gun for the price.

[@920utdoors9]

Ik it's not a cheap shotgun, but I'd like to see James do this with a Winchester SX4

[@Rnemhrd]

Local gun store had a pile of these for around tree fiddy. lol

[@MarcoH72]

I’m looking forward to the sub $150 shotgun test.

[@Yorktown-pb8bd]

I have seen where some people have had problems with those shotguns. But most people have good luck with them. Send it back. That one is a lemon. Some people have put 5,000 rounds through them without a hiccup then some people are like what you are experiencing.

[@josholdham1033]

sounds like the Moss 930 is coming up. Looking forward to it!

[@timothypryor7952]

We should do motion capture of these failures for video games.

[@yungivanc]

This shotgun is a Hi-Point of the shotgun family. Possibly worse. At this time I would definitely avoid cheap, imported shotguns. Thanks TFB for making this video.

[@jpeg7352]

You really need to review the lynx 12. Saiga clone thats understandably priced.
