- High Standard Flite King Riot 18-7 12-gauge pump-action shotgun
The Riot 18-7 configuration pairs an 18.25-inch barrel with a full-length magazine tube to the muzzle, yielding a 5+1 capacity. It is chambered for 2.75-inch shells and built on the Flite King platform within the K-120/K-1200 family.
This model is set up with rifle-style iron sights: a ramped front blade and a folding rear leaf. The right-side ejection pattern and the action-release button positioned at the front of the trigger guard align with Flite King ergonomics of the era.
The barrel is marked "HIGH STANDARD HAMDEN, CONN. U.S.A." and the gun carries "PROOF TESTED" markings. The Hamden marking places production in the pre-1977 period, consistent with the listed 1960s–1970s era and U.S. manufacture.
Furniture is plain, uncheckered hardwood with a straight-comb, pistol-grip stock and a smooth wood fore-end. Length of pull measures 14.25 inches, offering a straightforward, traditional handling feel.
