With synthetic stocks and two variants to choose from the 1012 Synthetic can be had in matte black or a camo finish. - The latest evolution in our semi-automatic shotgun line the 1012 uses a gas-less inertia operating system. Instead of redirecting gas from the barrel to run the action the 1012 uses a spring within the bolt to store energy during the shotgun
s recoil spending this energy a split second later to rotate and unlock the twin lugs from the barrel extension and withdraw the spent shell. - The major advantage of an inertia system is the less stringent maintenance schedule. Unlike gas guns that need periodic cleaning of the piston and magazine tube the 1012
s needs are vastly fewer. During our testing we pushed 1012s to 5000 rounds without a drop of oil or cleaning of any sort while experiencing zero parts breakage or malfunctions. In normal field use the occasional cleaning and oiling should be more than enough. - Additionally the gas-less system itself is tuned to run a wider variety of shells
from light-recoiling target loads up to the smoking hot 3 magnums currently on the market. We
ve actively searched out the shells that it doesn
t like to cycle and so far the limit on
too light
is the Winchester Featherlite (23/25 oz at 980 fps) and
too hot
is Remington HyperSonic (1 1/4 oz at 1700 fps). That means the 1012 will readily digest the vast majority of shotshells on the market. - Chambering: 12 Gauge - Magazine Capacity: 4+1 - Max Shell Length: 3 in - Barrel Length: 28 - Chokes: Extended Black - Stock: Black Synthetic - Length Of Pull: 14 1/2 in - Barrel Finish: Matte Black - Rib: 8mm Flat Vent - Overall Length: 47 in - Weight: 6.5 lbs
