NEO 12 BLACK (MATTE) 28" 12 GAUGE SEMI-AUTO -- SOME SCRATCHING AS SEEN ON PICTURE #4 -- The NEO is a semi-automatic shotgun that uses a simple inertia-operated system, designed with modern technology and ATA's expertise to deliver impressive performance and an attractive look. The system is made up of just three main parts: the bolt body, inertia spring, and rotating bolt head. This simplicity makes the gun cycle quickly, and since gas, powder, and residues stay in the barrel instead of entering the mechanism, it operates cleaner than gas-powered shotguns. The rotating bolt head's strong steel locking lugs ensure a secure connection between the bolt and barrel, which tightens even more during firing. This cleaner operation also makes the NEO much easier to clean compared to gas-operated guns. Additionally, the light weight of the inertia system contributes to the NEO being one of the lightest semi-automatic shotguns, with excellent balance and no heavy components inside the forend, giving it the feel of a fine game gun. - BJB (FCN028917)
