American Tactical ..Made in Turkey? Wait, is this actually made in America? The price seems decent enough.

Turkey seems to be the main provider of inexpensive shotguns these days...

If it was American it would also have the Carney elbows up tarrif applied.

Made in china. As good or better than the old made in china grizzly clones. The scope rail is a nice touch. Works good, feels good. Put one of your short barrels on and go to town. The included barrel is actually quite light.

Thanks for the info, is the trigger guard similar to the Grizzly Nork's?
In your picture it looks like the carrier is chromed and has cutouts, looks different then the Rem flexi tab. Is the bolt notched like they do with the flexi tab models?

Trigger guard is plastic. Shell elevator pic:
I’d have to take it apart to get a good look at the bolt & carrier

It sort of looks like the cutout is designed to let a shell pass through if it's caught up between the bolt and carrier.
 
Here aew cone up close pic of the bolt and carrier.
Eve part I have tried other then the rail fits standard 870 parts.
It's the smoothest norinco 870 clone I have seen

I just took delivery of one of these ATI 870 clones.

Some observations:
- Remington 14" police barrel fits but is very tight and the first time I fitted it the action I could be cycled without firing or using the bold release
- Feels lighter than my Remington or my Blueline clone
- Stock feels cheaper than either my Remington or Blueline, also the butt is about an inch longer than the Blueline
- The Blue line looks to be better built and has less plastic (metal trigger guard with more finger room) than the ATI
- The Blue line has better looking metal work though it is not as smooth to action as the ATI out of the box

Lastly, in some ways both the ATI and the Blueline have better fit and finish than a Remington Police 870 that I recently purchased. The Remington is an absolute #### to get the action bars and bolt back together due to burrs and poorly finished metal edges. Both the Blueline and ATI strip down and reassemble much nicer than the real Remington.
