hatson MPA semi auto- your reviews
- Thread starter lone ranger

I have the TS model (bought it a year ago) and it has functioned flawlessly after more than 200 rounds. Excellent value for what it is and at only $500, quality, fit and finish it can't be beat. Move over Remington. Great but.
wow...does that cycle fast or what !! IMPRESSED .
Nice gun. Good overall fit and finish. Priced right. Looks cool.
The swivels strength is unacceptable - not an issue for a carry/range gun. Questionable if you plan to sling it through the woods.
The trigger is angled for traditional stocks. The addition of the pistol grip has me pulling down on the trigger, instead of back.
I'll be dumping it for an sxp defender.

I've fired about 100 rounds of slugs no problem but it still chokes on light loads. One member here suggested polishing the outside of the mag tube where the recoil spring rides and I will try that.
I cleaned it and oiled it as suggested before my first outing. Maybe I'll try the extra o ring that came with the gun next time I'm out if the polishing doesn't do it.
The only other things I can add is the rear sight is a bit flimsy in it's height adjustment and I covered up the two fibre optic lights as they were annoying to my sight picture. Also my collapsible stock is a bit wobbly when extended. A better fit between the parts would solve that otherwise it's a good simple collapsible stock. I've heard others say that their stock is not loose so I guess the fit varies some from gun to gun.
If I can get it to cycle everything as advertised I will be happy.

Thanks Jon, I forgot to mention that I did put some tape on the part that attaches into the pistol grip and that snugged it right up, but I'm talking about the play between the ribbed extension and the sliding butt stock it self. As the stock gets extended to it's longer length there is more and more play. It's not such a big deal though as I prefer to shoot the gun with the stock on the second notch where the play is minimal.
I've been having a few double feed issues when manually loading or cycling the action. However doesn't happen when firing. Can't quite figure it out. However I polished the tube ran about 20 slugs and 50 various other heavier loafs and now it runs everything great.
a rated eats every type of shell 5 dollar trap to black cloud to buckshot and slugs, not one jam in 500 rounds I gave it one 2 second shot of g96 oil/solvent before firing the first shot, have not cleaned it and will not before it starts jamming , loads of fast cycling 12 ga fun for 500 bucks
well I bought the Cammo model semi auto and went to the range. It functioned 100% with ALL ammo. Everything from birdshot to slugs. I was impressed with the slug accuracy at 100yards. Was able to hit 14x14 steel plate. All is good.2 thumbs up!! Guns works as described. ..nothing bad to report .Best, fasted, most accurate shotgun I've owned.
UPDATE-
2nd trip to the range went to crap. For some reason the gun started having Ejection Issues , and when it did eject it hardly got the shell out. "very week extraction" The spent shells fell straight down on my feet LOL.
added to that..I got cycling issues. It would not cycle FEDERAL at all. It only cycled Whinchester for 3 shots. We tried Remington,...no better, then Horandy..same thing. We put in a new O ring and oiled it...nothing ! Seems like if you get a GOOD one, it runs 100%, for me..I got a lemon. I really liked this gun and wanted it to work so bad. The store took it back NO problem, and I went with a Mossberg Pump...= ZERO cycling issues.
