Apparently they make shotguns too.
Supposedly this is a hi shatndards clone, to which I know nothing beyond the hearsay that it was a great shotgun. Apparently this one is pretty darn good from reports and i actually like the geometery better than a mossberg. I could pick up a brushed nickle one to go with my lever for only $210. Might just do that.
Anybody have any experience with these or their hi standards cousins?

Armscor also makes a copy of a Detective Special. Kind of rough, but serviceable. Never had one come back. Several people who bought one, bought 1 or 2 more.
That Colt-ish revolver they are bringing in leaves FAR, far too much to be desired, IMHO. I'm surprised anyone would buy a 2nd. Their 1911's seem to be very serviceable...with many saying you need only to change the springs. I've not handled the shotguns at all.

I looked at one of these on GB -- it says capacity is 5+1 with 2 3/4 shells -----
I guess we'd have some big---big problems if we couldnt solve them with 6 rounds + sidearm
I always wanted one of the chrome plated Winchester Defenders long ago --- I like a seamless extended mag like the Defenders had.
Guess Mossberg is still making a chrome plated (coated, polished - whatever the treatment is) marine oriented gun, but that RIA sure has a nice street price
I had to look up some High Standards-- your right, looks like a pretty good clone
Panzer, since you have one of the Mossbergs with a brushed nickel finish, --- i have to ask, do you think its possible for that finish to be buffed up a bit with some flitz if a guy really wanted his gun to have a shiny finish ?
RIA is an importer licensed in Pahrump, NV.
They contract all their firearms from Arms Corporation of the Philippines (Armscor) Armscor, which is a manufacturing facility in Marikina, Philippines since 1952.
ARMSCOR 's licensed distribution site/office in the USA is API in Nevada. http://www.armscor.com.ph/products.htm

I'm no expert but it doesn't look like it can. I'm betting it'd ruin the marinecoat finish if you tried to buff it, but its tough to tell.
Sadly most of the people talking about it online haven't handled or shot it and any youtube vids are pretty amateurish. While the M30 tubes may work, none of them appear to be in nickle. Again, no huge deal.
