What is the best ammo to use with this Shotgun?

Chris, most folks seem to be using 3" or 2.75" High Brass loads which are full charge loads. You may want to disassemble, clean and lube all friction points (anywhere you see metal marks or wear) and try again. I see several youtube videos of folks shooting all sorts of rounds without issue. If it still malfunctions, I would call to get it serviced as it may be the firearm itself. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzHFABd5UHE) -- (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lnb6G-BO4-I)

I agree with James G's answer also. There was a younger shooter at my range having similar issues with his. He was using low recoil ammo because it was on sale. While looking at it, and offering him some of my ammo to try, I noted it was assembled with much heavier lube than I use.

It should work with any good quality 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells if it does not I suggest you contact Emperor firearms at Phone: (239) 561-3444 Fax: (347) 892 3428 for repair

Is this particular gun legal in California?

No, sorry its not on the California approved list.

A semi-auto shotgun that accepts a detachable magazine is not legal in CA. Hope that helps.

Unfortunately I do not see this particular model shotgun on the california list. That have some that are similar, but I do not se this one. The best way for you to check and see if a gun is legal is California is to go to firearms. Once there go to the store directory on the left side of the page. Once there look under the directpry until you see California compliant firearms, then click that. Under that you will find all the guns that are legal In California and you wont have to guess anymore. Buds has all there guns that are California legal under there for convenience. Hope this helps.

Sorry, but in Cali it is not legal to have: A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any one of the following: 1) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon; 2) a thumbhole stock; 3) a folding or telescoping stock; 4) a grenade or flare launcher; 5) a flash suppressor; or 6) a forward pistol grip;9

No, sorry its not on the California approved list.

The Emperor Arms Seylan TM1950 is a semi-automatic shotgun intended for civilian and security use, and mimics the famous M16 rifle in its layout and placement of most controls. It is remarkably light for its caliber and size.

Model: Seylan TM1950
Magazine: One 5 rd included
Choke: 2 mobile chokes plus choke key and box

Emperor Firearms Seylan TM 1950 12GA, my first semi auto shotgun. Took about 10 rounds to cycle better. It has not missed a beat after a couple of "New" jams out of the clip.

Great purchase. Very pleased and fast delivery to my FFL dealer.

Albert B on 03/03/2020

Rating: 1 of 5 Stars!

It cycled 1 oz slugs rated for 1600fps well enough to believe it would eventually cycle other rounds. It couldn't even try to spit out 3" goose loads.
The safety flops around and has to be just about forced into safe. The trigger will not reset without pushing it forward. I could put a softer butt pad on it and deal with ammo pickiness for a cheap range toy, but it's pointless to have a semi auto gun that has to have the trigger manually reset every time.
Disassembly is a major pain too. I could barely get the barrel out for the initial cleaning. I haven't even tried to get into the receiver yet. It requires an unknown size extended hex key or narrow socket.
Maybe you'll get lucky and get a good one. Mine is junk.

Good 12 gauge copy of the ar15 style rifles.controls, and feel is very close to the same.like the choke tubes, but wish it had a more complete set, And some sort of marking to indicate what level of choke each one is. some failures to eject while breaking in with buckshot, but feeds most everything now. This gun is light and has a stout recoil with high velocity loads the thin rubber recoil pad is not to effective, on heavy recoil. However I used a size large limbsaver slip on recoil pad over the original pad, it looks like part of the gun, and cuts the recoil in half. The rear sight must be shimmed to remain on zero, ( a problem with all these type of sights) I also drilled out rear peep to 5/32" , and coated sight adjustment screws with blue locktite, Painted front sight post orange for viability. This now one of my favorite shotguns. Thanks buds

Great home defense shotgun . A few issues with cycling the 5 round , hopefully a few more rounds will help eliminate that . I believe there is a few 10 rd magazines on the market for this shotgun. It might help with not jamming on that last round . I give it a 5 on appearance, it is a real looker .

I just, recently, received my Seylan TM1950. After examining this shotgun, it seems to be a well constructed firearm. The magazine fits perfectly. Bud's video demonstrated how well this shotgun works. Thanks to Bud's for their second to none customer service.
