The IWI Maftaeh in 12 gauge (brand part no. MFK1214) is a semi-automatic firearm built around a 14-inch barrel with a birdshead grip and no shoulder stock, placing it in the ATF’s distinct firearm classification rather than the shotgun or short-barreled-shotgun categories since it was manufactured without a stock from the start. IWI – Israel Weapon Industries finishes the Maftaeh in black and equips it with a crossbolt safety. Among semi-auto shotguns in the semi-auto shotguns category listing, the Maftaeh is technically an ATF-classified firearm rather than a shotgun, and favors shooters who want a compact, stockless 12 gauge for close-range defensive use.
