Not much unfortunately. Most of these were kit guns or complete inexpensive guns and not well made from the examples I have seen. Look in a shotgun news and you will see examples of these guns for sale. Jim

Unlike bambam's joke I was serious. They are shootable if factory or if they were put together in a kit they were done well but like I said they are cheap guns or I would have one but figured they were not worth the money. I have seen examples of the 410 shotgun they had out and it was in mho not worth the money they want for them. So take it for what it is worth they are a inexpensive gun that comes either in a factory built or kit form and were made to get by Government rules by not having a part included that you had to make so it was not a complete gun or black powder versions ect. I suppose the factory guns operate satisfactorily or one that has been put to gether by some one who made the parts that you need and did a good job makeing them. Like I said look at a shotgun news and you can find examples of what prices they sold for. In my opinion they wanted more money than what they are worth. But if you have one and do not have much money in it I suppose it would be fun to shoot. I suppose it would even be fun to shoot if you do have some money in it. :lol: I do not mean to put you gun down if you like it that is all that matters!!!! I am just calling these as I see them or like I said I would have bought one. Jim
