American Tactical Remington 870 clone

I'm a new PAL holder and bought this ATI clone.
Is swapping the barrel with 14inch Remington 870 barral legally okay?

Yes

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

Just registered an account to let you know it's made in China by a sporting goods company called S-Beam Precision Products Ltd based in Guangdong.

Are these available with a 26 or 28 inch barrel?

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.

HeadDamage - Thanks for the details. Is the receiver steel or alloy? Is it also made by Hawk Industries in China, or someone else?

Steel but I don't know who makes it other than it is done in China.

If you just got this firearm anx you need to install the firing pin. You have some issues, I would contact the gun shop you ordered from or a gunsmith.

Thank you for quick reply. I called Firearms Canada where i bought it, and their advice is to search youtube videos. Still waiting to hear from ATI

I feel like there is something lost in translation here.
