Blue Line BL-18 12 GA 18.5" Barrel 3"-Chamber 5-Rounds

Very poorly made feels very cheap I will stick to my mossburg never would have purchased if had known it was made in China

This shotgun is made in China, nothing in the product info that lets the buyer know that, the slide release is sharp. Biggest issue was it was made in China and nothing stating that, Im disappointed in that fact

One of my friends bought one of these and it seemed to work pretty well so I bought one myself. On the first shot with 00 buck, the thing locked up. I had to hold the pump and slam the stock against the table on the next 8 shots to cycle it. After that, the pump was still incredibly tough to cycle but it did run. All in all, the thing does work but you really need to break it in. Only about 50 rounds in, I noticed visible shearing of the rails. Seems like mine is made from an actual frying pan. ... Read more

This shotgun is an exact clone of the 870 from China. When I received it it was covered in this dark thick motor oil like grease and it was every where especially in the magazine tube, my follower was stuck halfway through and it took me awhile to get that dark grease all out. I didnt see any corrosion, just small nicks and scratches. It cycles fine, havent shot it yet. If youre going to change the forend dont use a polymer tool, youll need some thing stronger cause my forend nut was torqued by ... Read more

I've yet to shoot the shotgun, but it seems to be similar to a shotgun I purchase years ago, a Hawk 982. The shotgun feels durable, and the action is smooth. I was only able to load five 2-3/4 shells in the magazine, which is why I deducted two stars. It's a little frustrating when you pay money and don't receive what was advertised to you. I was willing to purchase this shotgun because of the price, I have some 870 furniture waiting for it, and I'm confident that I can fix most common problems ... Read more

The bad: Failures to feed once to twice per magazine, looked it over and the carrier was sitting too high and snagging shells. Lightly filed the trigger plate to drop it and it functioned fine after that. Made in China too. Never had an 870 that didn't run fine out of the box. If I hadn't had to work on it I'd have given it 5 stars. The good: Near as I can tell this thing is a very close copy of a Remington 870. I wanted an inexpensive shotgun that I wouldn't get too attached to so after making ... Read more

The fit and finish are good and don't feel cheap, considering this is a budget rifle. I took it apart once I received it and cleaned it up as this was sealed in a plastic bag with lots of oil and silica bags. I plan to use this product in an upcoming shotgun training class. Feels just like a Remington 870 even the weight is just about the same. I was only able to load 5, 2 3/4 shells in the mag tube, plus 1 in the chamber.

If youre expecting a beautiful collector grade shotgun, think again. But if you need a good all purpose shotgun youre not afraid to put to work, here you go. Pros: price, youre hard pressed to find a Remington stripped receiver at this price. All metal construction beats the polymer trigger housing group of an 870 group, although for peace of mind, you may want to do routine upgrades like carrier dog spring, magazine tube spring and follower. While I planned to dump the furniture for something e... Read more

The main reason I bought this is because of the price. I was a bit Leary of buying a Chinese made shotgun, but I wanted something relatively inexpensive, while still having reasonable quality. If something was wrong, then I wouldn't have been out of a lot of money. I did install a Hogue stock and forend. The stock fit perfect, the forend not so much. The opening for the forend was a hair too small. I ended up taking a Dremel with a sanding drum on and was able to lightly remove enough material t... Read more

I have yet to shoot it because it's a Christmas gift for the other half but it seems like a very solid shotgun especially at this price point. If it runs well I will buy another. FYI a 2 round extension stucks well past the end of the barrel.

Although I have not fired this particular shotgun, I have given it a once over. My impression of it is that the weapon is a bit on the heavy side, although i would think the weight would help in the recoil of the shotgun. Remington 870 after-market furniture can be used on this "clone." I plan to "beat it up" with alot of assorted rounds. Fingers crossed.

This gun appears to be imported by a company called Blue Line, but it's actually a Chinese made Hawk 870 clone. If you can get over the made in China stamp, it is actually an amazing shotgun for the money. Runs just as good, if not a little better than my Remington 870. Stock and forend are compatible with alll aftermarket 870 accessories so you can really trick it out.

As other reviewers have stated this is a Norinco Hawk 982. In my opinion the Hawk is one of the most durable, and reliable shotguns on the market. I have owned two different Remington shotguns, and this version is far more robust than either of them. The construction on this gun is extremely solid. The receiver walls are thick enough to inspire confidence, and even the polymer of the furniture is VERY solid. As a matter of fact the stock polymer furniture is much more rigid than any aftermarket ... Read more

So, the Blue Line Pump is being imported by a Canada based company called Blue Line Solutions, but it's original manufacturer is China North Industries, aka Norinco, the makers of the Remington 870 clone Hawk shotguns. Those Hawks have been in the US market for DECADES, imported by several different companies (IAC, SDS Imports, and others). If you bought a Civet-12, mag fed pump action shotgun, THAT TOO is a Norinco made 870 clone. I've had these guns for years, and they run just as well, or a l... Read more

Well built, solid steel. A bit on the heavy side, but recoil is mild compared to some other 12 gushes I have shot due to this. Plan on taking it apart for a good cleaning, which is fast and easy as soon as you get it. Makes it operate much smoother. Have shot 110 rounds through it from 7.5 bird shot, 00 buck to rifled slugs. Very accurate with all. No feed or functioning failures. Great home defense gun as long as the weight is not an issue for you. Don't see any mim parts, should last a lifetim... Read more

Plinking and home defense. Tight tolerance. Racking is solid . Hefty feel which mitigates recoil. It's accurate. Shot doves with it . Nice shotgun. Great value. Brownell

After seeing YouTube reviews this purchase of the Blue line shotgun seemed like a no brainer. I purchased the shotgun and it promptly arrived in a cardboard box. My gunsmith was impressed on the quality of the construction for the price as was I once I held it for the first time. I disassembled it later on and cleaned and lubed with battle born grease. Functions better than many 870s that I had used in the past. Feeds everything as it should. Upgraded with treeline forend light for a perfect bas... Read more

After realizing this gun didn’t come with a basic slip cover case looking for measurements I found it there were no measurements of the length of the gun on the Website nevertheless I would order from this company again I’m happy with my Blueline and I found a case elsewhere but I think it would be even a better website to look at if they’re guns ...Read More Read more about review stating After realizing this gun didn’t
