RE: Spartan Shotguns?
I have one of the single shots and it's alright. The fit and finish isn't that great, but it was only 90 bucks for a youth model. The over unders are a bit nicer, but they cost more as well.
I agree with the others, I haven't heard anything about them buying them out, they just have a deal with them. You can get virtually the same guns with a different name on them if you want.
