New 12-Gauge AR Platform? Yes, It’s A Thing Now

[Acer-m14]

"The lower receiver, pistol grip, and stock are all molded from a single piece of polymer, which introduces some cause for concern. After all, can the polymer withstand the abuse? I’m not completely sold on polymer lowers for AR-15s, after all. Then again, 12-gauge is a lower pressure cartridge than a 5.56 round, so who knows? ... "

yeah it may be but your slinging a ounce of lead and not 55 - 80gr's ... shit more recoil ..

damn i hate the authors there sometimes ..

NEW GUN ALERT: Details on a 12-Gauge AR Platform

 

[Podmonkey]

This thing seems as big a disaster as the 1919 was.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Counter drone technology.

No lock back on empty.

Pass.

I'd entertain the idea of getting one after some time on the market. Just once though I'd like to see a professional reviewer say this gun sucks, it's junk, but they never do.

You'd have to pin the mag. Not worth it. You are faster with a Benelli M4.

The Benelli is only $1,500 more after all.
Still want one!

Not new

Sometimes, you get what you pay for, lol...

I don't have one, but would "want" one (Benelli)

: )

Only two mag fed semi auto shotguns worth a damn, and that's a saiga 12 or a fostech origin 12 mmmmmmmmmm

 

[@thewheels]

I'd take a Saiga shotgun over that thing any day.

Or you could pin the mag at 4 rounds because it's only an assault weapon at 5 or more rounds right?

It would be an AW because it has one feature of accepting a detachable magazine.

(b) a semiautomatic shotgun that has at least one of the following characteristics: (i) a folding or telescoping stock; (ii) a thumbhole stock; (iii) a second handgrip or a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand; (iv) a fixed magazine capacity in excess of seven rounds; (v) an ability to accept a detachable magazine;

I will stick with my smooth 500A

 

[Apeman]

There are a handful of 12 gauge uppers out there. Just need a 308 lower
