SHOTGUN: CITADEL FIREARMS MODEL PAX-12 IMPORTED BY LEGACY SPORTS, SERIAL NUMBER 21PXN-0078, STAINLESS, CASE NOT INCLUDED, PUMP, 12 GA, 19 Notes: The Citadel PAX-12 (often marketed as the PAX CDP-12 Force) is an ultra-budget, Turkish-imported pump-action shotgun distributed by Legacy Sports International. It is designed primarily as an entry-level option for home defense and recreational shooting. * Gauge / Chamber: 12-gauge, 3-inch chamber. * Barrel: 20-inch chrome-lined barrel with a fixed modified choke. * Capacity: 3+1 rounds (or 2+1 depending on the removal of a factory magazine plug). * Stock & Grip: Fixed black synthetic stock with an integrated pistol grip, a ventilated hard rubber recoil pad, and a built-in 5-shell carrier molded into the stock. * Sights: Fiber-optic front sight and a 3/8-inch receiver dovetail for optics mounting. * Weight & Length: 7.3 lbs total weight; 41 inches overall length with a 14.5-inch length of pull. * Finishes: Available in standard matte-black anodized aluminum or a silver Marinecote/Nickel finish. * Smooth Action & Ergonomics: Despite its low price point, reviewers consistently notes that the pump action is surprisingly smooth and the overall build feels tight rather than loose or rattling. * Ammunition Sensitivity: Testing indicates that while it cycles light birdshot cleanly, it can experience short-jacking or failure-to-eject issues when loaded with heavier brass 3-inch turkey loads, slugs, or high-velocity buckshot. Aggressive, firm racking is required. * Harsh Recoil: Because the gun is relatively light and features a very rigid "hard rubber" recoil pad, the recoil impulse is sharp and uncomfortable during extended shooting sessions. Many users recommend an aftermarket slip-on recoil pad. ALL FIREARMS MUST BE SHIPPED TO A LICENSED FFL
