Notes

Includes three removable internal choke tubes. The IJ1000-SN variant carries a longer 20-inch barrel. Revolver-action shotguns are an unusual niche category; the IJ1000 series revives the revolving long-gun concept for the modern home-defense and novelty market.

Background

Revolving shotguns are one of the rarest firearm layouts ever mass-produced; the IJ1000 revives a concept that traces back to 19th-century pepperbox and cylinder long guns, marrying a revolver's swing-out cylinder to a .410 smoothbore.
