What’s Included
- Kel-Tec factory cardboard box (not original to this firearm)
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.
