The Fostech Origin-12 Gen 2 12 Gauge Shotgun, Black Nickel, 18.5-Inch Barrel builds on the original Origin-12 platform from Fostech Outdoors (brand part no. 7200-N) with a full set of durability upgrades. A billet-machined carrier, billet ambidextrous safety, and billet trigger guard replace the original stamped parts, while an improved and lightened gas system smooths out cycling. The quick-change barrel system and folding Fostech Tomahawk stock make this a genuinely modular home-defense and range shotgun for shooters who want to configure it their way.
