choke tubes, furthermore the gun includes a Cylinder choke tube. Additionally, an enlarged and beveled loading port, elongated, pinch-free elevator and bright orange anodized follower enable ease of loading. The knurled, extended charging handle and oversized, ergonomic bolt release lever provide for positive manipulation when loading. Additionally, the extended magazine tube allows for a 7+1 round capacity with 2.75-inch shells and the barrel clamp features a sling swivel stud plus dual-sided M-LOK compatible-slots for the addition of accessories.
User Adjustable Stock
