These include: Extended bolt release to allow you to use your right hand to release the bolt, this in turn shaves seconds when it matters, Extended flared magwell to help guide your magazines into the well with minimal effort and time, and an ambidextrous safety lever for those stages when you have to shoot weak hand.Our best selling product is the Typhoon F12. The F12 is a 12 gauge box fed semi-automatic shotgun which holds either 5 or 10 cartridges. Standard specs are 3″ chamber with 24″ barrel, 5 interchangeable chokes with a gas system set up for high or low load cartridges.

The Typhoon has been built from the ground up with practical shooting in mind and has various add-ons which are standard or can be purchased to help you achieve a better time on the range.

All these additions are designed to help the shooter maximise their time and concentrate on what really matters. For more information please contact your local dealer.The F12, has an AR style platform with adjustable stock and adjustable cheek piece, this enables the user to set the shotgun up to their specific needs. The F12 is made from titanium and aluminum and has a cerakote finish for durable wear.

MDT 10-round magazines are approximately ¾” shorter in height than standard AICS 10-round magazines due to MDT’s unique Double Stack to Single Feed (DSSF) transition design, allowing easier mag changes when shooting prone.

10-round magazine includes 2 internal ribs that help reduce friction between the cartridge and magazine body and provide a smooth transition from a double stack to single feed at the top of the magazine.I have both a 10 round and now a 5 round MDT short action magazine and there is a lot to love. The over design and manufacturing of these mags is top quality. My proof research elevation came with the 10 round magazine and for competition I can see it being useful but I ordered the 5 round for hunting. With 6.5 prc I can load 4 rounds in without issue and the magazine feeds as expected. I have noticed with 6.5 prc that if the round at the top the mag is not aligned perfectly you may have a feed error with some ammunition. I am willing to consider some kind of user error as I have only had the magazine a week. But as I am planning to hunt I want to be sure it feeds right so I don’t run into issues in the field. Will most likely buy more of these to throw in the rifle case. I only wish there was also a polymer 6.5prc mag from MDT to lighten the load even more. Thanks red hawk for the great service

We stock a wide selection of AICS magazines, from the industry benchmark milspec Accurate Mag range, through to recent polymer types from Magpul, MDT and Ruger.The Accuracy International Chassis System (AICS) magazine format has become a standard detachable magazine pattern for military format sniper rifles, following the success of Accuracy International’s AICS platform for popular rifle action such as the Remington 700.

AICS magazines are cross compatible with the US M24 pattern, relating to Remington’s 2004 M24A2 sniper rifle upgrade which added detachable magazines to the M24 SWS (Sniper Weapon System).

As soon as we get it we will issue you a refund. Gun returns will need to be sent by your FFL with a 25% restocking fee for shotgun purchases.

To remove the fixed stock first remove the visible Allen bolt that crosses the neck of the stock. Next, take a regular-sized Phillips head screwdriver and place it in the small hole at the bottom of the recoil pad. The rubber is soft and will move out of the way. Turn until the recoil pad can be removed. Last, there is one more Allen bolt inside of the stock. Remove the Allen bolt and the fixed stock will slide off the buffer tube.To remove the mag lock device, take the upper off of the lower. Once it is off you will see a pin sticking up right above the magazine button. Get a small flathead screwdriver. Depress the pin until you can see a slot that the small flat head will fit into. Insert the screwdriver and remove it. The spring and pin will then come out. The mag lock can be reinstalled the same way. We’re sorry to hear you are having issues with your shotgun. We do recommend a 100-round break in the period of heavy brass ammo (1500 FPS or higher is recommended for the break-in period). This break-in period is necessary before it will cycle light loads. Also, the shotgun comes with oil on it but it’s factory oil meant for a rust preventative. We recommend applying a reputable gun oil. Give that a try and let us know if you are still having any issues. Also since you are new to the F12 here is a video that is worth the watch from beginning to end. It has a lot of good information about your F12. To install the compensator you first have to use the silver flush mount choke. So install your choice of choke. Then you want to loosen up the 4 bolts on the compensator. Then slide the compensator over the barrel with the vents facing up. Push it down until it bottoms out and you can’t push it on anymore. Level out the compensator and then tight tighten the screws to spec. If you are just using the provided Allen wrench go in a star pattern and tighten down very snugly.There are many options for lights out there so we don’t have a specific recommendation. We can say since these are 12 gauge shotguns we are talking about that there is some recoil involved. Some of the cheaper lights will quit working from the recoil so we recommend not purchasing the cheapest one out there.

There is no need to send in any warranty registration information in the US. All our shotguns have a lifetime manufacturer warranty that stays with the shotgun and serial number with ATF compliance. We do recommend using ammo 1500 FPS or higher for our 100-round break-in period. The break-in period is necessary or you will see some ejection issues. We also recommend trying a different type of ammo as well just to ensure there is not a defect in the ammo. If you would like to send your gun in for us to take a look at and ensure it’s functioning correctly that would be covered under warranty. Shipping to us would be covered by you but we would cover the return freight. If this is something you would like to do let us know and we can get that process going.The F12 comes with 4 chokes. The black extended ported choke is a #5 choke. The silver flush mount chokes are 1,3,5. We recommend using a #5 choke when shooting 00 buck or slugs.To disassemble the CA-compliant model you need to remove the magazine lock. To do that start by removing the lower from the upper by pushing out the takedown pins. Make sure you have the chamber flag inserted into the bolt back to avoid damage to the feed ramp. Once removed you will see a pin sticking out above the mag release button. If you press the pin in you will notice there is a slot for a flathead screwdriver. Unscrew it and remove the pin. It can then be reinstalled if you’re back in CA and need it to be compliant.
