Ran about 35 rounds of high brass buck and slugs to break mine in. After that I've had zero malfunctions with low brass target loads. In fact, I had no issues while breaking mine in. It's a great shotgun for the money.
I got mine a short time ago. Have done a video on how to oil it? I only put a handful of rounds through it but don't want to put too many rounds through it before I do that.
I just picked up my black aces tactical FD12 bullpup pump action shotgun from my FFL, and took my cousin with me, I been telling him about this shotgun, and he pulled the trigger on it, full pun intended, now we wait for the 10 days to get his, and we get to shoot 2 sweet and different shotguns. Have you seen the Black Aces FD12 bullpup shotgun?
Nice review I just purchased this online last night along with 2 cases of tactical slugs. No standard shells in stock. I like how your straight to the point as well as the shooting live action. Great to be aboard!
I appreciate the feedback brother. I’m always glad to have more people join this community. I’m sure you’ll have fun shooting it, just remember to break it in lol Have a great rest of your day 💯🤙
I watched another video about changing out the mag tube extension to the plus 2. In that video he didn't change out the spring. In yours you said you have to change it out. Which is it?
@@tag9790 thank you for the quick reply. I wish Black Aces would clarify this. Too little spring tension is bad and so is too much! Looking forward to more videos on this shotgun. I live in Cali so I can shoot it as often as I would like!
@@Thomas-ig3kn I appreciate it brother, I would check out my IG too. If you want to keep up with anything going on. I’m hoping to release a new review this weekend or next week. It’s in the making. I literally do everything on here except record myself lol. Till next time, stay safe 💯🤙

ua-cam.com/video/7765m0L0UWg/v-deo.html If you wanna know how to change the tube extension and/or stock/grip this channel is really good with instructions :)
I’m glad you love the shotgun brother. So, changing the magazine tube is a very easy task man. Just unscrew the magazine tube (be careful the spring will launch out) Take your other spring and grab either your +2 or +6 mag extended tube and work that spring in that tube till it fits. I’m sure there is a video on it somewhere. Best of luck and I hope that helps. 💯🤙
How is the finish on the barrel? Anyone?...I bought a different autoloader from them and the receivers are made in house in Florida atleast with the one I bought but I do believe there all made in the u.s. finish is great no issues.the barrel on the other hand is made in Turkey and the finish on it is very poor you can see the difference between the barrel and reciever right away.it scuffs so easy seriously if you look at it to hard it's all scared up.for the money I'm not complaining it was like 400 bucks but for what this one cost I'm curious cause if the barrel finish is as bad as the one I got you could go with a mossberg for around the same price I know covid and all that has seriously messed with prices. Fyi the one I bought even though the finish isn't very good on the barrel it shoots just fine cycled light loads as well.
I appreciate the feedback on the shotgun. I’m sorry that you have to deal with that, I have been hearing people complaining about crappy customer service
Thanks brother, no need to rush to failure man. Take your time with your training, and it’ll naturally come back to you. I don’t train enough with shotguns to be honest, I’m not the greatest at it lol. 💯🤙
@@tag9790 honestly, I've never really trained with a shotgun. My philosophy has always been that if I'm using a shotgun, I'll run it empty, then transition to a pistol. I personally wouldn't carry one as a vehicle gun or SHTF long gun, it's just a bedside gun for me. Not that I think any of the other options are wrong or dumb, just not my preference. But that preference most likely stems from my lack of training on the platform. There are pros and cons for sure, no matter what you decide or how much training you have. Still, it bothers me that I'm a novice on defensive shotgun skills, so I wanna attack that deficiency.
I appreciate it brother. I hope you enjoy the rest of my UA-cam content. Now, it’s gonna come down to personal preference. Take the “Pros” and “Cons” of the Level action and semi, or even pump. If you have any questions, don’t be afraid to ask. 💯🤙
Just ordered 2 for me and my buddy last night, bought the pump action version though figured its more reliable for self defense also msrp'd at $350 instead of 640-800🤙
Looks nice but i hate when the mag tube is shorter than the barrel. Make it flush with the barrel therefore more capacity. Also u should use winchester 1290 high speed ammo. It will increase reliability and cost the same. Stoeger m3000s r very good shotguns as well
Idk if you've been told but the shorter of the 2 extentions meets the end of the barrel really nicely, and the extended makes it look like a dramatic comp gun, and I'm pretty sure legit functions without damage but idk about all loads
Far as my knowledge goes on “Where is it made” is in the USA. Their business is located somewhere in FL from what I remember. You can purchase the firearm or different models on this website: palmettostatearmory.com/black-aces-tactical-pro-series-x-12-gauge-shotgun-batproxsb.html
Very first of your videos I watched. New subscriber as well. Torn between Mossberg and this black aces. Any thoughts ? it's a Christmas present for my daughter and her new home. So primarily a house gun.
Hmmm, very tough decision. So it’s going to break down to the different categories, do you want a semi automatic? Or do you wanna pump? Personally I do like the black ace, but it needs to be broken in first and it’s not my personal ideal for home defense. I trust my life with Mossberg, I have the 590 Shockwave (That’s not what I’m recommending just saying). At the end of the day you have to make that call, I can’t. Mossberg is the number one choice though 💯
@@tag9790 yes, I own 2 Mossberg 500 shotguns. It is what she learned on, so maybe the 500 is the best choice.... thanks brother for all you time and advice.
Are you asking me real world use or range time? Because out of the box brand new (without breaking it in) a solid NO. For CQB idk tbh with you brother. It’s really gonna come down to personal preference and layout of your house or wherever you are wanting to use it. Now with range shooting yeah, it’s fine. Shotgun CQB I would recommend something wayyyy shorter then this.
Just put the pistol grip on it. I have the chrome one on my lap or back at all times, its damn accurate with slugs too. I live in a small home and this is my go to. 00 Buck for CQC and slugs for range. Its a great combo!
@@tag9790 Just got it yesterday! I was worried at first because it seemed like my shotgun wasn't taking my buckshot ammo (high brass shells 3'') as opposed to my 2 3/4 birdshot. However, all i had to do was push it in as hard as I could and all 5 shells went it :)

@@tag9790 I picked up one early this year took about 100 rounds of hot 1400+fps rounds for it start cycling everything through it. Fun shotty though have about 500 rounds through mine now still rock solid.
Shotguns are probably my Keeley‘s heel, not very good with them to be honest. I know for sure I’m not the only one who has done a Combat Loading tactic on a semi-automatic shotgun. I appreciate the feedback and kind words of course 💯🤙
@@tag9790 indeed and most operators or security shy away from it because like in the video you had to hit the bolt release twice one time. However, your speed was on point 👍🏾👍🏾

Where cam i get accessories for my s max because nobody carries them
Off the top of my head, I have no idea lol. I would just Google it tbh man.
Grabbed this at $199! 1 day sale! Whoohoo!
That’s probably cost lol
Bought this set up for Black Friday, 400$ out the door!!! Had to cop.
💰
Did you lube up your gun before using? Took mine out to test with bird shots n would not cycle or eject
It’s too far for me to remember. However, I don’t believe I did.
Does it take OPSol Mini-Clip to shoot mini-shells?
I heard they can work, just having some cycling issues but don’t take my word for it.
Is you handgaurd coming loose yet? Got like 200 rounds threw her and she a bit wobbly. Any recommendations? I heard the customer service is for shit.
Customer service is shit and their quality control is dog shit as well (From what I heard)
Ran about 35 rounds of high brass buck and slugs to break mine in. After that I've had zero malfunctions with low brass target loads. In fact, I had no issues while breaking mine in. It's a great shotgun for the money.

I got mine a short time ago. Have done a video on how to oil it? I only put a handful of rounds through it but don't want to put too many rounds through it before I do that.
