The 18.5 inch barrel is a plain, cylinder-bore smoothbore built from steel, optimized for wide-pattern performance without a vent rib. Its chamber accepts both 2 3/4 inch and 3 inch shells for flexibility with a range of 12 gauge loads. A brass bead front sight provides a simple, durable aiming reference.
