Responsive, compact and ready for rapid fire, the heart of the SRM 1216 Gen 2 is a polymer rotary magazine with four chambers, each holding four shotshells. When four shells are fired, the bolt locks back and the shooter rotates the magazine to a new chamber. When the loaded chamber snaps inline with the lifter, the bolt automatically drops. It all happens faster than reading the description!
The result is a shotgun capable of delivering a hail of lead on target. It can also be reloaded just as quickly by yanking out the empty magazine tube and snapping a full one into place. The bolt will drop automatically, putting the SRM 1216 Gen 2 back in the fight.
The shotgun features an 18-inch barrel, a top Picatinny rail for mounting optics, side forend rails for mounting accessories, a Zytel polymer stock with an in-line design to help reduce muzzle rise and an unloaded weight of 7.25 pounds. A lever in the magazine hanger, which doubles as a front-sight mounting base, makes for fast magazines swaps.
The SRM 1216 Gen 2 is as fun to shoot as it is effective, and it will handle just about anything you feed it. In fact, a visit to the range is one of the most enjoyable ways I know to blow through a case of shotshells quickly! Sound interesting?
