The AKSA Arms S4 delivers reliable semi-automatic performance in a tactical platform built for demanding applications. This 12-gauge shotgun combines proven AK-pattern reliability with modern shotgun versatility, handling everything from 2.75" target loads to 3" magnum shells.
What Makes This Different
The S4 features a chrome-plated 7075-T6 aluminum receiver that resists corrosion while maintaining the lightweight characteristics shooters expect. Unlike polymer-receiver alternatives, this machined aluminum construction provides enhanced durability and heat dissipation during extended firing sessions. The AK-style operating system cycles reliably with various load types, from light target rounds to heavy waterfowl loads.
