This Model 982 follows the proven 870 pattern with twin action bars and an 870-style action bar lock, offering smooth cycling and a familiar control layout. The steel receiver and matte black finish provide strength and a low-glare profile suited to defensive use.
The 18.5-inch barrel uses a fixed cylinder bore (Cyl Bore) for wide-pattern performance at close range. Its 3 inch chamber accommodates both 2 3/4 inch and 3 inch 12-gauge shells, adding flexibility across common defensive and training loads.
The factory sighting system is purpose-built: a receiver-mounted adjustable aperture rear (ghost ring) paired with a ramped, wing-protected front post. This setup delivers fast acquisition and precise elevation and windage adjustments.
Furniture includes a black synthetic stock and matching fore-end with molded checkering for a secure grip. A ventilated recoil pad and a 13.75 inch length of pull contribute to control and comfort. The cross-bolt safety and knurled magazine cap support straightforward operation.
Capacity is 5+1 via a tubular magazine. Markings note Interstate Arms Corp., Billerica MA, and country of origin as China. The overall package is a practical, steel-receiver pump configured with defensive sights and a straightforward control layout.
