The Charles Daly N4S Bullpup transforms traditional shotgun handling with its compact 28-inch overall length while maintaining an 18.5-inch barrel. This semi-automatic 12 gauge delivers full-size performance in a configuration that excels in tight spaces and rapid target transitions.
What Makes This Different
Bullpup design relocates the action behind the trigger group, reducing overall length by 6-8 inches compared to conventional shotguns without sacrificing barrel length or velocity. The aluminum receiver features integrated Picatinny rail mounting, eliminating the need for aftermarket modifications. The adjustable comb allows shooters to achieve proper sight alignment with various optics configurations.
Key Features
- Bullpup configuration provides 28-inch overall length with full 18.5-inch barrel

The gas-operated system cycles reliably with standard hunting loads, tactical ammunition, and specialty rounds. Compact dimensions make this shotgun effective for home defense scenarios where maneuverability matters, while the full-length barrel maintains effective range for hunting applications. The Picatinny rail accepts standard optics mounts, allowing shooters to install red dot sights, scopes, or tactical lights without gunsmithing.
