Interstate Arms Hawk 0982 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

The shotgun arrived quickly (thanks Buds) and upon inspection was found to have a good finish and tight action. It is what it is, a budget shotgun from the People's Republic and I am satisfied with the quality with only one gripe. The rear ghost ring sigh

Great solid shotgun made in China but could not resist the price All steel Remi express clone Heavy but helps w recoil Runs great ..love the ghost ring sites Will use for home defense and turkey

WOW! Great recoil pad, fired some 15 ball 00 buck that are real shoulder busters and they felt very mild. Hate to boast a weapon not made in the US but this is a very well done shotgun.

This is an update! My last review was not so good. I purchased a Hawk 12g that would not feed at all. After a not so good review because of thinking I was on my own things changed. Although the shotgun is still being repaired I am hopefull it will come ba

I was recently in the market for a home defense shotgun and the price of the Hawk 12 certainly sparked my interest. My local gun range advised me away from it, saying it was just a knock-off of the Remington 870 and recommended I buy the 870 instead. But

Good for home defense, short enough to use in close quarters. Have only used 2 2/4 inch shell, and it kicks like a mule, can't imagine what it's like with 3 inch or slugs. Functions good, only one ftf and no fte's. Fun to take to the range.

I got my IA Hawk 982 in April. I have put plenty of shells through it without any hiccups. I make sure it stays oiled and it is kept in the closet for a home defense shotgun. You can’t beat the price.

As usual, Bud's provides good service at competitive prices. This shotgun is great. Functions very well. Excellent ghost ring sighting. Good recoil pad. I highly recommend it.

Ive now put over 1000 rounds through this thing! its amazing and fires like the day I got it. Ive taken the entire gun apart and re-assembled after cleaning with no problems. Ive added a tactile stock and side saddle round holder, all remmington 870 parts

I really didn`t NEED another 12 guage pump(have over 13 already and more semi-auto, double and single shots) but the gun`s great reviews and FANTASTIC BUDS price(when I purchased) I couldn`t resist. GREAT gun for the money! I HATE to give so much credit t

Wanted to wait until I took this shotgun to the range before I wrote a review. Today, I put 50 rounds through the gun (25 rounds of #8 birdshot, and 25 rounds of S&B 00 buckshot). I experienced no issues, and the gun fed and cycled the ammunition beautifu

This shotgun does everything a $200 shotgun should do, it shoots! I've shot around 250 rounds of birdshot, buckshot, and slugs through without a single malfunction. The sights aren't bad, I painted a white dot on the front sight, which helped a lot. Side

My order shipped just over a week after it was placed; I picked up my shotgun from PCA on a Wednesday evening and thoroughly disassembled and cleaned it that night. I feared having to deal with a large quantity of cosmoline, but was pleasantly surprised b

I was reluctant on getting a Chinese clone of the 870, but too many good reviews let me know this was a solid workhorse. It really is a heavy 870 and I am a sucker for ghost sights. For the price could not resist and like the 870.. easy maintenance. Ate t

I bought this Hawk 892 in October 2014. The shotgun is well made all metals (except the stock and forend of course). Fired about over 200 rounds (mixed with bird shots and slugs) with no issue at all. I replaced the stock with ATI pistol grip and magpul f

This is extremely hard to beat for under 200.00. Smooth transaction, will definitely buy from Buds again. Felt a little quilty not buying from my local dealer, but he couldn't touch this deal.

I received my hawk 982 in less than a week. I was surprised how fast it came. Upon receiving the shotgun I was pleased with its fit and finish. It is a nice looking gun. So far I've put about 50 rounds down range and couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Hasn't failed me yet. Its no 870, but for the money it is well worth it. I've put at least 1k rounds through this from birdshot to slugs. Has yet to not go boom when the bang lever gets pulled.

Received my Hawk 982 w/Ghost Ring sight fairly quickly from Buds. Gun came in excellent shape and finish. Sights are aligned and straight. I own a few other HD Shotguns, and I gotta say this one is pretty good for the money. I like it better than my 88 as

Great, inexpensive Rem 870 clone. The finish is PERFECT and the action actually came sorta smooth out of the box. One major gripe and reason why it only gets 4/5 stars is the fact that the manufacture is NO LONGER putting METAL trigger groups/trigger guar

Not bad for a Chinese copy of a Remington 870. Slightly on the heavy side but lots of extras included at a very low price.

What can I say, for the money this is an incredible value. I have owned plenty of 870's and this is just as good. The sights are awesome and the length of pull and reach to the pump fore end are very reasonable. I usually have a difficult time with pump s

My purchase experience was great! This gun is exceptionally well and exceeds my expectations! I do look forward to do business with buds in the future. Lord Bless!

have to say this is is my first purchase from buds and i have to say they have excellent service. my order paid for on a Friday my ffl received it by the following weds...as for the gun it will make a great home defense shotgun because of its length and e

Solidly built shotgun, heavy enough to absorb the recoil of 00 buck loads. The butt pad is a nice touch. Fit and finish is workmanlike, but for the price, you can't beat this gun!

Would not reccommend this gun. You can tell that it is made in China. But if you just want something for protection at home, it's probably okay. You get what you pay for; cheap price cheap quality.

This is my first shotgun purchase and I absolutely love the 982! The construction is solid and I can't see a week point of the 982, it looks just like the 870. The gun loads 3" and 2 3/4" shells just fine, also the 870 parts are interchangeable. The Remin

First order from Buds, received shotgun in 2 business days. Great product, looks good, quality built. Have only fired about half a box through it, but the sights are dead on and the gun functions great. Would highly recommend.

Great shotgun, can not beat the price and the quality!

Great value gun. I also own a Remington 870 Tactical, and have no problem calling the IAC its equal. Given the price, what a bargain. Most 870 owners would be pleasantly surprised w/ this shotgun. As for ease of purchasing, what can I say. No issues whats

What a great shotgun going to buy a second one!!! For the price you can't beat it!

Great gun get one before the double in price!!!!..takes 870parts..I own 3 Now.the follower kinda sucks but it's a cheap fix...all with Wilson combat SS followers now load perfect..Iv had many people ask about them..I have had no fte's of ftf's ..finish su

the best thing bout my gun was It did'nt work ! the shells wouldnt feed or eject properly ! So I sent it to the warranty manufactures gunsmith ! They promptly repaired it ! fixed up up all th problems ! Now she opperates slicker then S**t, I payed the gun

GREAT DEAL,,SUPER FAST SHIPPING....THANKS BUDSGUNSHOP.COM

Great shotgun! Pumped a few rounds through her and she is definately capable of ventilating whatever is in her way. Service from Buds was great (as always)! Would highly recommend to a friend.

Awesome gun for the price. built even better than my remington 870. Ghost ring sites are awesome also.

I waited to submit this review, because, out of the box, there were some cycling issues with this gun. The last shell in the magazine would often be stuck and would not pop out enough to cycle. Sometimes, it would happen to an earlier round. Remembering t

Bought one of these when a little cheaper. Put a pistol grip on it for a Remington 870 and it fit like a glove, oredered a longer barrel from Cabelas and it wouldn't fit at all. Forearm stock mount in wrong place, wouldn't lock in reciever so don't try th

This is my 2nd 982 from buds. I bought it as a throw behind the seat type deal. The finish on this one is so bad, I was going to send it back, even though I bought it to essentially take a beating. It looks like someone in China or at Bud's was eating che

Rear sight was a little loose but I tightened it down once and put 50 rounds through it and was still very accurate at 25 yards. Puts bird shot in a nice 8-10 inch group at that range buckshot seemed about the same.

I have had my shotgun now about a month.It arrived in excellent condition.It fires beautifully.A very well made shotgun.Will be buying another one soon.Bud's is top of the line in all ways.

I bought 3 of these, all three arrived in mint condition. I have not had the chance to test them, that is my son's job. This feels right because it s the exact sme feeling in my hands as my 870. Buy this you will not regret it, Bud's service, top notch.

Have not shot it yet but the gun looks and feels great. Seems to be well built. Buds is awesome to deal with.

I was concerned about shipping damage based on other reviews. Checked my gun carefully, both front and rear sights had styrofoam on them to protect them. The box had damage where the rear sights would be, but the styro foam did its job. No damage to the g

this gun sucks, i shot like 100 rounds cleaned it and it wont cycle the rounds, i want my money back!!

These shotguns were out of stock everywhere for many months, and I anxiously waited to be able to order one. After reading so many good reviews about it, I was pretty excited when Bud's finally had them in stock again and I ordered mine right away. My di

This is a great shotgun for the price. I am very impressed with it.

Solid shotgun, especially love the ghost ring sights. Best purchase for home defense.

Shotgun arrived March 1rst, placed order on Feb. 18th! Eleven days to get it to me BUT since I paid by electronic check I SAVED over $10.00! So the 5 extra days for the $$$ to clear was not a big deal... on to the Shotgun! Although its listed as IA 12 Ga

This was my first shotgun purchase and what I can tell you is this shotgun seems to be a very well built quality shotgun. No complaints but I have not fired it yet but I am completely satisfied! Thanks buds

Received Gun at FFL and am happy with it. Looks like it will serve the purpose well as a deterrent. My only surprise was finding that the gun is made in China.

Great choice for HD shotgun. Can't beat the price and I have ran through roughly 500 shells since I got it last Fall without a hiccup. You won't be disappointed.

This shotgun was very well assembled A++++ very great firearm def will be getting 1 more.

I don't understand, I must have gotten a bad one. forestock rubs barrel because it is severely canted, now it has the park scraped off. bought foreend wrench and attempted to adjust but is just too sideways. sights are off had to drift rear sight over to

just got it today.i ordered it on friday and it took almost a week to get here.buds didnt send me the tracking number so thats why i gave this a 4 cause last time i ordered they shipped it out the same day.as for the 12ga its self it feels nice and looks

What a great firearm. Bud's is awesome!

Wow bought 2 of these back in march. Very pleased with how solidly these shotguns are built!!!!!! So far only put maybe 200-300 rounds through each one of them. Ammunition varied from low recoil "00" to full power "3" slugs. These weapons handles it all w

I was intrigued by the price of this shot gun, and decided to search the web for reviews. There was one guy on buds that had an issue with the extractor, and everyone elese who did not like this gun had never owned or shot it! The biggest complaint was th

great shotgun, great price

I have not shot my gun yet, and dont know when I will get the chance to do so, but just wanted to say that Buds was great as usual..... The gun itself looks awesome and seems to be very well made. I was on an extremely tight budget or I would have bought

I own Remington 870s and an 1187, as well as a Mossberg-Maverick 88, and I'm very happy with them. Shotguns--without a doubt--give you the most gun for the money--and these shotguns from Norinco and NE Firearms (and maybe Savage-Stevens) offer the very be

Nice,quality shotgun. The more I use it the better it gets.

As always Buds had this to my FFL in just a few days. I was a little worried about getting a firearm at this price. I'm a firm believer in the saying "you get what you pay for" so I was not expecting much from this shotgun. However After putting over 300

its a great copy of the the remington. I have shot about 100 shells through it at this point with no issues. The made in china aspect is not ideal but i can not tell a difference between this and an 870.

Let me say that this was my first online gun purchase and it went very smoothly,never once had a trouble. I placed my order on a Saturday and had my gun on Wednesday. Finally got to take the interstate arms defender to the range,I put 15 slugs through it

The shotgun I received has about an inch of play back and forth in the forend which makes the shotgun impossible to load unless the forend is completely pushed forward and held at it's full forward stop. This eliminates the possibility of fast reloads. Al

This thing is built great. I took it out with some friends and put over 200 rds (bird shot) through it as fast as we could get them loaded. No malfunctions, no jams, no problem. the butt pad that comes with it is perfect, makes for a comfortable shooting

Built like a tank. Not a malfunction to date. Great purchase.

Buds shipped very quickly. Ordered it on a Wednesday and picked it up from my FFL on Friday. Of course, it helps to live pretty close to Kentucky, where Buds is at. Anyways, great looking gun. It is very beefy as another reviewer mentioned. I owned a moss

I love this shotgun. I have shot all kinds of ammo through this, from sport loads, target loads, 00 buck, and self defense slugs, it handles everything flawlessly. My buddies who all own Remingtons enjoy shooting this shotgun and for $186 when I bought it

5 Star quality. Just picked mine up from my FFL. The gun is very clean, made very well, feels solid. Cycles great, awesome rubber stock pad, Great sights. First shotgun purchase and i am in no way disappointed, great gun so far, cant wait to go shoot it.

Just got my Interstate Arms Defender 12ga. today and was pleased that it seemed to be a solid built gun can't wait to fire it. Buds is everything people say about them they have super service and the best internet prices I have been everywhere on the net

This was my second purchase from Budsgunshop.com, and everything went just as smooth as the first time. This Interstate Arms Defender (Norinco Hawk 982) was everything I was looking for to replace my Maverick 88 that I sold last year. It's cheap, function

Amazing shotgun for the price. Anyone on the fence about this one should definitely snatch one up before supplies run out. As others stated, you can use any remington 870 parts on these except barrels. I put the speedfeed 1 stock set and wilson combat mag

Great gun for the price! Got mine last week and haven't had a chance to fire it yet but I'm looking forward to it as just about every review I've read has been positive! Looks mean and can't wait to dress it up a little to make it a little more intimidati

Nice gun for the money. Only complaint is the front sight dot was hard to see. A little white paint in the dot solved the problem. 1 box through it, and no loosened sight like some of the other reviews. Thanks for being a kick-a$$ dealer Bud's!!!!

I would absolutely recommend this weapon to anyone looking for a great home defense 12ga. the price makes it impossible to pass up IMHO. thanks buds

Great Gun for the price! I just wish I'd waited a week to get it since I paid $200 for mine. BBud's service was great as usual

I bought this about a month or so ago. My first shotgun and I read everything I could find on the internet for this one and its American made competitors. The only reason that folks didn't like this shotgun was it was made in China. I like American made t

I was very surprised by the quality of this shot gun...its a solid 12ga pump...the finish,the ghost ring sights, on a more popular brand shotgun you can expect to pay upwards $500.00 and more, so for $200.00 it was a steal,and it shoots great!!!Buds shipp

Just got this I.A. 12G as my first shotgun. Wanted something for home defense/range use, but as I have not had much experience with them I didn't want to drop a lot of cash on my first purchase. In any case, I am very pleased with it, the price, and the s

GREAT BUY FOR THE MONEY.I SHOT 50 ROUND .IT WORKFLAWLESSLY.

Nothing beats a scattergun-- especially for this price. It is an exact copy of an 870 at a true fraction of the cost. I got mine today and shot 3 inch High Brass buckshot and slugs through it with no problem. Fit and finish is better than I expected for s

A clone of a Remington 870 from China. Mine looks good and has nice sights which I removed and reinstalled with a heavy does of locktite thread sealer. If your looking for a back porch, barn or truck gun this is a good buy!

So far so good. I bought it for the price here, which was very cheap. I also bought a Wilson Combat mag spring and follower ($12), as this shotgun and the Remington 870 both have weak mag performance. Not anymore! I put it all together, used lock -tight o

This is a great buy and a solid piece. Very accurate . I have taken this skeet shooting several times. Functions flawlessly. A1 for the money.

I was intrigued by the price of this shot gun, and decided to check it out. I bought it on layaway and when my last payment went through I saw that my order went right to shipping status! forget about that 3-7 days crap! Bud's shipped it out the same day!

Nice shotgun for the price. Bud's was great. No problem with the shipping and I live in CA.

This thing is awesome. Very solid construction. The ghost rings were dead on at 25 yards. Has a nice metal trigger guard, smooth action and nice finish. If you are looking for a beast of a home defense gun on a tight budget.. get this. I have 3 guns, a ri

This shotgun is a great value and is very good for someone who is purchasing their first shotgun or would like a shotgun for home defense. The ghost ring sights were very accurate at 20 yards. I would recommend using some blue loctite on the screws holdin

Got mine yesterday. Looked it over and it is an exact copy of an 870. Pretty damn nice for a $185 bux. Plan to keep it in the truck since I work in Atlanta. Just in case the natives get restless.

This is a great buy and a solid piece. Very accurate with 3" mag slugs out of the box and rocks with the Knoxx SpecOps recoil reducing stock and fore arm package made for a 870. I will confirm that it does indeed take remington stocks and forearms. I have

Great shot gun for the money. I ran about 75rounds of 3inch 15 pellet OOBuckshot and about 25 2 3/4 1 1/8 ounce Slugs. A very hard hitting work out and this gun ate it all. I also used a couple of different brands and the gun never missed a beat. The sigh

Great gun for the price. Looks and feels just like the mossbergs and remingtons.

A no nonsense piece of business hardware. Great buy !!! Get'em while you can -- gungrabbing Barack, Joe, Chuck, Dianne, Hillary, et al are coming...

Only one word to describe this shotgun -- AWESOME!!! It is a solid weapon that feels great in the hands and will make an excellent HD shotgun that won't break the bank! HIGHLY reccomended! Bud's Gun Shop is the best and will continue to get my business fo

Wow! This thing is BEEFY. It shoots dead on and is a fun gun to shoot. Will it hold up after 1500 rounds ? Who knows. I put 100 rounds through it the first day without one issue what-so-ever. It's heavy and could be used for a club if you run out of shell
