TriStar Viper G3 Synthetic 12 GA 28" 5rd Shotgun

This Viper G3 Synthetic is TriStar's 12 gauge gas operated semi auto with a 28" barrel and a 3" chamber. Light target loads and heavy waterfowl loads can be run through it interchangeably. The barrel and the aluminum receiver are both matte blue, and behind them sits a fixed black synthetic stock with a 14 1/4" length of pull and a rubber recoil pad. Average weight is 6.9 lbs, and a shim kit is part of the package.

On top of the barrel is a vent rib with a matted sight plane and a fiber optic front sight. The chamber and barrel are chrome lined. Three choke tubes come with it in Improved Cylinder, Modified and Full, cut to the Beretta/Benelli Mobil thread, along with a choke box and wrench. The tubular magazine loads from the bottom and holds five shells; a shot plug comes installed and lifts out once you unscrew the magazine cap. To clear only the chamber, nudge the lifter up and open the action, and the E-Z Load cut off keeps the magazine from feeding. After the last shot the bolt stays open. The safety sits at the rear of the trigger guard and blocks the trigger, hammer lever and hammer.
