MAVERIC HS-12 OVER UNDER 12GA 18.5" FIXED CYLINDER BORE - Blue/Black, 18.5" Barrel, 2 + 1 Rounds, Synthetic, 3" Chamber, Fixed Stock

Great little shotgun. Compact and lightweight. I originally bought this to do some home customization to it to turn it into a camping/survival gun. I had planned on drilling out the stock to make hollow areas for storage of small items but much to my surprise the stock is already completely hollow. I removed the original Butt-pad and replaced it with a Pacmayer slip-on pad. I also secured a long heavy duty magnet to the bottom of the inside of the stock. So now when I take my butt-pad off, inside my stock are 4 chamber adapters (allowing me to fire 12ga, 20ga, .410/45LC, 9mm and .22lr out of the same gun), a mini Leatherman secured in place by the magnet, a flint and steel and a small baggie with some hooks and fishing line in it. Perfect camping/survival set-up. Also, not mentioned in the description of the gun is that both firing pins cock simultaneously and you get two trigger pulls on empty chambers, unlike some O/Us that only cock one and the second is cocked by the recoil of the first shot. The reason that I am only giving this 4/5 is because when breaking open the breech, the barrels fall, but not all the way. You physically have to pull the barrels down, away from the stock, as you load because the natural resting spot of the barrels, when open, does not leave room to load the bottom chamber. I had hoped that after some break-in time and cleaning that this would work itself out, but it never has.

Thanks Buds for carrying a wide selection of firearms at a reasonable price. I ordered the shotgun on the 14th and my FFL had it on the 26th. I was immediately impressed with the excellent fit and finish of the gun when looking it over. This gun is 36 inches long when closed! I accepted it and took to the range that afternoon. I was able to run 7.5 and 8.5 (2.75 inch low brass) target loads through it as well as OO buck with no issues. I also ran Winchester PDX1 slugs (what a kick) with no issues. All totaled I ran 25 shells through it with no issues. I did note that opening to extract shells was stiff at the hinge point but after I cleaned the shotgun and lubing it, that was a non-issue. Exactly what I wanted and it will become another tool in my tactical home defense lineup. Great quality shotgun at a great price!

This shotgun is great. Took it to the range and had a blast. Great for skeet shooting with the additional sights in the back. You can even shoot it with one hand if you can. Overall a great weapon and a blast to shoot.
