They're a copy of the Winchester 1300 imported from China by Savage, with the quality that implies. They work, because pump shotguns are about as forgiving as you can get when it comes to guns, but the machine work is a little rough out of the box.

For about the same money, the Mossberg Maverick 88 is a better shotgun in my opinion. It's also a budget gun, but the corners are cut in places that aren't as noticeable as the corners that are cut to get the Savage down to that $200ish price point. The action is smoother, for example.

They're not the junkiest Chinese shotguns on the market, but unless you find a screaming deal on one, you can generally do better for the price.
