Anyone ever own a Black Aces firearm? I believe they're fairly new and produce ammo also. They make this LEVER action 7 shot 12 gauge shotgun in 4 models! Affordable, (about $400), and American made! I only heard of them through Atlantic Firearms when I bought a PTR MP5 through them. There is a YouT...
