I own a variation of the Pardner Pump (the Interstate 982) - Big5 has them for around $200, and there's a 10% off coupon when you sign up for their email list online.
It's been my beater/loaner/trunk gun, and has been exceedingly reliable; it's basically a Norinco copy of a Rem870 (imported by NEF, which is owned by Cerberus/Freedom, which also owns Remington). I did have to restake the shell stops (gun was functional, but disassembly a pain), but everything else has been great.
I actually liked my commie pump more than the Rem870 Express, which I sold. No shitty lock in my trigger group, construction and finish was better, and I got great ghost rings. The Pardner lacks ghost rings, but IIRC, has chokes.
