    Could only find limited info online about this "AR Style" 12 gauge.
    Locally, I've seen one for $600, and one for just over $500, and am considering adding one to the boat.

    It comes with two 5 round magazines, but I did locate 10, 19, and even a 40 round drum for it. Not that I'd want to lug around a shotgun with 40 rounds dangling out of the magwell... :o

    Every review that I watched, claims that they run great with any decent loads, and aren't designed for "bird shot" light loads, which I totally understand.

    Just wondering if anyone here owns one, or has owned one, and what your thoughts are/were about it.

    I like my AR's, and I like my shotguns, so this appears to be a nice, inexpensive "crossover" long gun.

    Biggest consideration to my mind, and regardless of what it appears may be available, Make SURE you can order - and that you DO order - however many mags you’ll want for that platform - ever - at SAME a time you buy any of these mag fed scatter guns!


    I don’t own one and don’t know anyone that does (only other one I’ve held was the 1919 ...) but, after a ton of research and giving the whole mag thing lots of consideration I went all in and ordered the IWI Tavor TS-12.

    I realize I could’ve likely purchased 2 (or 2-1/2) of the detachable mag models for what the Tavor set me back but, when I considered how compact 15 2-3/4” shells are “on board” the TS-12, vs trying to carry 3 box mags the size of small phone books (okay, maybe closer to bible size!) that cinched it, for me ...

    Actually, at a hair over 28” the compactness of the tavor overall was a real motivator for us, in traveling by vehicle, etc.

    I got it online sent to my FFL from either Preppers Gun Shop or GunZoneDeal or Joe Bob’s Outfitters and my FFL said I got it for the same price he’d have paid and then marked up (he’s only too happy to do transfers for customer ordering offline as in the long run it saves him a lot of time, storing inventory, etc.


    All that said, the one in your photo sure looks a lot sexier than the spacey-looking ts-12 ...!

    LOL, I imagine if I ever even took it out of it’s dedicated little “overnight suitcase” travel bag at the trap and skeet fields there’d be Fudds dropping like snowflakes! (Hmmmm, doing the whole “little angel” on one shoulder / “little devil” on the other thing in my head, right now!)

    Then, there is also this coming dove season, hehe!

    Yeah, that one is wild looking.

    Good idea on the mags. Right now, they are available everywhere for roughly $50 each (10 rounder). They interchange with at least a few other mag fed 12 gauges as well.

    I had to look that one up.
    That is awkward looking and awesome all at the same time.

    I have one, bought it when the Panzers ran dry. Had it for over a year now and it’s been flawless for me. I have a few 10 rounders and a drum.
