| I thinking about ordering a hawk shotgun with the ghost ring sites from centerfire . Are they good? Are the parts interchange with rem 870? |

Do a little research and you will find that people that own them love them, everything fits but at 870 barrel. I put all the Magpul stock and forend etc on mine. Mine is solid as a rock. I had a gunsmith friend recently go thru and do just a little polishing here and there. The action feels like a 1000 dollar gun now.
I love mine, most people that own them do |

As above, most owners rate it as a good buy.
It's not up to American standard of fit and finish and while it's a copy of the Remington 870 it's not an exact copy, so don't count on internal parts fitting. Usually stocks and many accessories will fit. Barrels will not interchange due to the different location of the barrel support ring. However, it's often possible to use a Remington barrel on the Chinese gun by making a spacer tube to fit between the Remington's barrel support ring and the magazine cap on the Chinese gun. Magazine extensions also will not fit due to the barrel support ring. An American extension will stick way out beyond the muzzle. Bottom line is the Chinese guns make great truck and home defense guns, but they aren't up to the quality of an American gun and you may not be able to accessorize it like you'd want. |
I have a H&R pardner pump its an excelent shotgun and my HD weapon i also have an 11-87 and a mossberg 500 both have 28" and rifle sight smooth bore deer brls. and all are 12ga. when i wanted a dedicated HD gun i chose the P.P.because of all the great reviews and at the time dicks was having a sale on them so for not much more than a short brl. for the mossberg i got a purpose built gun that has so far proven to be a very reliable .

They're great inexpensive shotguns. I've spent quite a bit of time swapping parts between my 870s and my Hawk shotgun and I've found that every part is interchangeable.
The barrel isn't a direct swap, but if you make a simple spacer it works great. (shown below) http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=79948 |
