The Fostech Origin-12 Gen 2 12 Gauge Shotgun, Black, 18-Inch Barrel pairs a black receiver with nickel-finished internals on Fostech Outdoors’ upgraded Origin-12 platform (brand part no. 7200-BL). Like every Gen 2 Origin-12, it replaces the original’s stamped parts with a billet-machined carrier, billet ambidextrous safety, and billet trigger guard, and pairs them with an improved, lightened gas system for smoother cycling. A full-length Picatinny rail system keeps it ready for lights, optics, and accessories right out of the case.
