Special Features

• The Rear Piston Operated system uses dual short stroke pistons positioned near the chamber instead of a traditional forward mounted gas port, which keeps fouling away from the critical operating components.
• The recoil spring assembly sits inside the stock rather than around the magazine tube, shielding it from carbon and debris buildup during extended firing strings.
• The 5 position telescoping stock lets you adjust length of pull to fit your build, your outerwear, or your preferred shooting stance.
• An enlarged, beveled loading port speeds up reloading by guiding shells into the chamber with less fumbling under pressure.
• Ghost ring sights paired with a factory Picatinny rail give you fast sight acquisition and a ready mounting point for a red dot or other optic.
• The M-LOK compatible forend accepts lights, foregrips, and other accessories directly without an adapter rail.

Practical Benefits

• If you are new to tactical shotguns, the adjustable stock and enlarged controls make this platform approachable while you build proficiency with a 12 gauge semi-auto.
• The cleaner running gas system reduces how often you need to strip and clean the action, which suits duty use, range training, or long range days without constant maintenance breaks.
• You get a shotgun built to stay in the fight through box after box of ammunition, giving you confidence that your defensive tool will run when you need it most.
