The SLP Mark I pairs a 22 in choke-threaded barrel and Standard Invector choke system with FN's Active Valve short-stroke gas operation. It is built to run 2 3/4 in and 3 in shells and is configured with an 8+1 capacity (2 3/4 in). The alloy receiver wears a matte black finish, matched to a black synthetic stock and fore-end with molded checkering and a ventilated recoil pad. Length of pull is 14.0 in.
Target acquisition is supported by a red fiber-optic front sight and a low-profile, fold-down adjustable rear blade, with a barrel cantilever rail that bridges over the receiver. The gun also includes a receiver-mounted shell carrier (side-saddle), plus an extended accessory Picatinny rail under the magazine area for mounting gear as desired.
This SLP Mark I uses the Standard Invector choke interface. An improved cylinder choke is installed. A modified choke is included, along with an extended ported choke tube, giving you practical options for different loads and distances.
Controls are straightforward: a right-side charging handle, a bolt release located ahead of the trigger guard, and a cross-bolt safety with a red indicator ring. Factory markings are present, including the FN oval logo and rollmarks such as "FN HERSTAL BELGIUM," "FNH USA FREDERICKSBURG, VA," "FN 12 GA – 2 3/4, 3" INVECTOR SLP MK1," and "3" MAGNUM."
