What’s Included

The KS7’s bullpup configuration places the action behind the grip, delivering an 18.5 inch barrel in an overall length of approximately 26.1 inches. The pump-action feeds from a single under-barrel tubular magazine and offers a capacity of 7+1 with 2.75 inch shells or 6+1 with 3 inch shells. Downward loading and ejection support ambidextrous operation without compromise.
Built around a polymer frame and receiver with a black finish and a steel smoothbore barrel, the KS7 keeps weight to about 5.9 lb while maintaining durability. The 3 inch chamber provides flexibility in ammunition selection, and the 13.0 inch length of pull suits a range of shooters.
Sighting is straightforward and fast with the integral polymer carry handle featuring a sighting channel and a fiber-optic front bead. The textured polymer fore-end and the pistol grip with the Kel-Tec square texture provide a confident hold, while the rubber buttpad helps manage recoil.
This shotgun was recently sent to Kel-Tec for factory updates, including a new cartridge catch, hammer assembly, and bolt carrier, along with a replacement bolt assembly. These updates reflect current factory improvements and provide added confidence in long-term function.
Additional details include the patent marking US 9534861 B1 on the receiver and manufacture in the USA. The result is a compact, capable 12-gauge with modern materials and user-friendly handling.
