The 18.5 in steel barrel uses a cylinder bore and ends in a plain muzzle with no choke device fitted. A ventilated steel heat shield with dual clamp bands protects the barrel under sustained use. A brass bead front sight provides a simple, durable aiming reference.
The aluminum-alloy receiver wears a matte-black finish and is drilled and tapped on top with three holes for mounting a base. The magazine tube ends short of the muzzle and is capped with a knurled end cap.
Furniture is purpose-built: a Butler Creek stainless wire-frame folding stock with a rubber buttpad and a black polymer finger-groove pistol grip, paired with a black synthetic ribbed forend and webbed hand strap for added control. Length of pull is 14.0 in.
Capacity is 6+1. A receiver-mounted side-saddle holds eight additional 12-gauge shells for on-gun carry and fast reloads. The control layout includes a top-tang safety.
