The Kel-Tec KSG NR is a purpose-built 12 Gauge pump action shotgun engineered for compact utility and significant capacity. Its bullpup configuration and innovative dual-tube magazine system deliver operational advantages in confined spaces and high-stress environments. This design prioritizes maneuverability and substantial firepower within a streamlined footprint.
Key Features
Compact Bullpup Design
The 18.5-inch cylinder bore barrel is integrated into a bullpup chassis, significantly reducing the overall length while maintaining a compliant barrel dimension. This configuration optimizes handling and maneuverability in close quarters, making it effective for tactical and home defense applications without compromising ballistic performance.
Dual Tube Magazine System
The distinctive dual-tube magazine allows for a combined 8+1 round capacity of 3-inch 12 Gauge shells. Operators can select between tubes via a bottom-mounted lever, facilitating immediate ammunition type changes or providing extended engagement capability. The system is engineered for reliable feeding and efficient cycling under varied conditions.
Integrated Illumination
A 420 lumen Kel-Tec light is integrated directly into the forend. This feature provides immediate, secure illumination for target identification and situational awareness without the need for external mounting solutions, streamlining the weapon system for low-light operations.
Robust Construction
The KSG NR utilizes durable materials and a uniform black finish on both the receiver and barrel, ensuring resistance to wear, corrosion, and environmental factors. The fixed bullpup stock is an integral component of the design, contributing to the weapon’s overall compactness and balance.
Ergonomics and Controls
Operation is via a positive pump action, coupled with a readily accessible cross-bolt safety for secure handling. While listed as a right-hand model, the KSG’s bottom ejection and centrally located controls inherently accommodate ambidextrous operation for a broad range of shooters.
