I've debated getting one of these and ruled spending the money of the potential of it not functioning, but it went on clearance at my local walmart for $212. Took it out day one, no cleaning first. Fired 15 rounds, about six did not feed properly. The carrier didn't lift the next round up for the bolt to chamber the round. On at least 2 of those miss feeds the bolt release was locked up. Cleaned it about a week later lubed it, found some 1/8" sized pieces of metal and other debris throughout the reciever . Took it out again, put 10 shells through it. It didn't lock up, but the carrier didn't lift on all cycles. A little push on the carrier and the shell fed and ejected without any issue. So, a bit of a win. I think I'll put another box or two thorugh it to make sure it gets a good breakin before I dig into the trigger group. I'm sure thats where the problem is. I think that I will be happy with it, but Hatfield needs quality control. They say they have been test fired, but obviously not repetitive cycles. But, also, at least give me "proof" of test firing with an empty shell in the box. Their QC is still non existent. But also, who knows how long my particular gun sat on display at Walmart it was the last SAS20.

Got one when they first came out from Walmart. Cleaned it really good out of the box and never had a single problem with mine and shot all different kinds and brands of shells. But I use it mostly for Turkey and duck hunting.

Again, I think this was a deal for $216. Thanks for sharing. I really think it will function more smoothly as it breaks in!!!

Great review. Glad to find one on here of that model.

Same as mine. A few hiccups then, runs Fine!👍 Thanks for the video ❗

I just bought one the key to this gun is clean it. First go was a little hiccup after that it runs perfectly fine in actually loading from tube mag applied a little oil the tube and it’s running like a charm.

another fine looking Hatfield shotgun Rob for the money you can’t beat the Hatfield Stay Safe My Friend 🇺🇸🇺🇸

I bought Mine about a year ago at the Pikeville KY. Walmart for $ 206.00 and never shot it till this morning. I wanted to 20 ga, so my Wife would shoot it because shes afraid of my 870 Wingmaster. We both shot it this Morning and we Love it, 12 rounds shot flawlessly. I was expecting some problems with it because most of the videos about it have shown a lot of failure to feed but i guess I got lucky so now when i shoot my Wife can join in instead of watching. Thanks for the video.

Nice nice shotgun you got there sir affordable and it will get the job done after a little breaking period. God bless you and stay safe

Bought this same shotgun last night at Walmart for $238.00. Fired it today and the 3 rounds I put through it did not cycle. Hopefully it gets better as I shoot it. Funny thing is I’m using the same exact ammo as you had in the video:)

Rob, threw some lead with the little Hatfield SAS 20 gauge today. I ran a little over a box of ammo through it and it ran like a champ. I didn’t think I had any high brass heavy field loads, but turns out I had a box that was at least 20 years old. It ran them like a champ, throwing shells out 12-15 feet. My wife even tried it out on a few clays, and really liked shooting it. I think I’ll get her a little 28 gauge, I think she could shoulder it a little easier. I think I’ll wait to see how Hatfield treats you on the .410 before deciding on the Hatfield or another brand for her. My son-in-law had a box of 12 gauge Winchester target loads, the 1145 FPS version with the chrome on them. His month old Tristar wouldn’t cycle with those shells at all. I had a box of 12 gauge Federal 1220 FPS field loads in my ammo box and had him try them. It gobbled the Federals up.

Looks like it'll be good to go with a few more boxes..👍👍

Only ran about 12 rounds of federal birdshot in the blue box and straight out the box it ran flawlessly cant wait to shoot it more.

Got mine today and it jams as well. Hope with continued use it will get better.

I found 20 gauge high brass today at Cabelas for 9.99 a box. My Hatfield 20 gauge worked great out of the box. Even shoots light loads

Nice , I think your right after you run the first 50-100 shells she should be all broke in :) AWESOME

I always use gear grease in the high friction points on firearms. Saves wear and tear and keeps them running.

The consensus seems to be that your need to run a full box of full power, 1oz+ load through these to loosen things up. All the reviews I've seen seem to say the same thing. After 50 or so rounds they're basically trouble free.

There’s sometimes a burr on the end of the barrel that catches the shell.

I got the 12 an 20 an 28 gauges they all shoot good pretty good gun for the price can't beat it

I have one that the bolt doesn’t lock back every once and awhile, but other than that it runs fine

Just wanted to let you know, I purchased the Hatfield 410 SAS. I was hoping for a peach and I got a lemon. Pretty much all the same issues you experienced, failed to cycle. All I had was basically a single shot. Was not fun to shoot. I called Hatfield and was advised to send it in, so here I go, let’s see what I next…Tc from Nevada

Looks like that would be a nice gun to bust some claybirds with. 20 is pretty easy and that semi auto action should soak up the recoil well.

nice video, short, sweet and succinct! too many gun vloggers make the video about themselves rather than the gun, not you, well done. as for this shotgun, is it normal to have so many hiccups? you remained calm but i would be upset. full disclosure, im not a shotgunner, i just have a couple of single shot 20ga and 410 by h&r. i can run both reliably fast as they autoeject spent rounds. the 20ga is under my bed with a recoil pad and buttstock sleeve filled with #5 gameshot, plus a 3” rossi 38sp revolver loaded with wadcutters on the nightstand. god forbid i ever have to use either one but, if i must, i won’t have to worry about penetrating walls and i won’t cry too hard if they disappear into a police evidence locker for six months. indeed i am hopelessly old school but i sleep well.

Cool

On the Assembly Rail when it slides back into the rear of the Receiver the rail corners are square and once I took the sharp edges off it ran smoother! Having the same problem with my Stoeger m3020

216?! damn, makes me wish i bought mine at walfart, i ordered one from the local gun store, paid 295 for it about a month ago, it didnt even occur to me to ask about the velocity it needs, until recently when i was looking for ammo, the makers told me they recommend a MINIMUM of 1300 fps, told me it might not cycle good with less until a lot of shots had gone through it(im guessing a thousand, and i dont have money for a thousand rounds)

Hatfield shotguns are great!!!!!

looks like a nice firearm.

Love this shotgun ! Runs good. Anyone know what extended magazine tube this takes.

I have the exact same one and I was wondering am I able to shoot slugs through it with a modified choke

I just got mine last week. They are $244.00 +tax now

My 20 runs these shells great

Got mine had some problems with it not feeding the next round shooting a foot low charging handle broke and would no longer stay back and some other stuff. They sent out a new barrel and trigger assembly and it didn't help heck the charging handle closed if the gun was taped or bumped lightly sent it back to them around 2 weeks ago just got it back today and they said the stock was completely damaged yet it was in perfect condition when it was sent back shot one round through it and it worked not gona push anymore out of it because I want to shoot a goose befor it breaks again 😂

6 rounds?! are you ghost loading? i have that model, bought it about a month ago, its 4+1

You have both the 12 and 20 guage.. how much difference is there in recoil.. thinking about buying a 20 guage so others can use it too.. thanks.. they are nice looking..

Light shotgun shell might not work good in it. I seen Browning do the same thing with target loads.

Can you get a swivel cap for this gun? I’ve got one but want to put a sling on it.

Mine keeps jamming n it won't cycle field loads.

Winchester white box is terrible in all Calibers
