The Pardner Pump & Hawk 982 both made by Hawk Ind in China. They are the same shotgun with a different style receivers and the 982 has ghost ring sights. Both are a heck of a deal.

They have all machined parts, no MIM parts like you find on the 870 Express. All 870 accessories and parts will fit ...

My opinion.

The more you add to a shotgun the more weight you add and slows you down. That and some add-ons just make a shotgun harder to operate.

A heat shield would be OK. The Mossberg brand is well made.

I would say a good two point sling is a must. A sling is like a holster for a handgun. A ...

It is best to keep it simple. A flashlight and mount, 2 point sling and maybe a tritium bead sight. I would say put a oversize Vang metal safety on it but you have a pistol grip stock which makes it hard to use the safety. Get to know it well before you start adding things. Pattern test it to see ...

There are three quad rail hand guards made by UTG: a standard barrel, one for a heavy barrel and one for the Yugo AKs. I believe the one for the heavy barrel will also fit the standard barrel. They are all very well made and you will be pleased. Do a google search many sale these UTG rail systems ...

How do you like it. They are a lot of gun for the money.

Here are a few good upgrades you can do.

You can replace the slot mount screws on the ghost ring sights with better socket head screws. The size is metric M4 X 0.7mm They are a common size and you can find them at most hardware stores. You ...

I for one don't agree that you need to match the parts up. A good quality upper and bolt & carrier will give you an accurate rifle.

If you are building a super accurate target rifle then I would say have a custom bbl made with a match chamber and have the bolt fitted for that barrel.

Unfortunately, there is a Federal restriction on all imported shotguns imported after 1990. It is illegal to add a mag tube extension increasing the mag tube capacity past 5 rounds. If you do you have to follow the law of 10 US made parts.

US CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) Part 178.39
§ 178.39 ...

They are very well made shotguns. They are not as refined looking as a 870. They have more of a Military Tactical shotgun look to them, which I like. Thick hardened high carbon steel receiver, Machine extractor, metal trigger guard, nice set of ghost ring sights.

Just have your local dealer order ...
