Overview
The Panzer Arms AR-Twelve (AR-12) is a gas-operated semi-automatic 12 gauge shotgun built to look and handle like an AR-15 rifle. Fed from detachable box magazines and chambered for both 2.75" and 3" shells, it ships with a detachable carry handle with rear sight and a removable front sight, making it a popular budget entry into the magazine-fed tactical shotgun segment. Imported into the US market through SDS Imports.
