The Orthos Raider S4 Elite SBS in 12 gauge with a 14-inch barrel and Woodland camo Cerakote finish (brand part no. S4RCESBS) is a short-barreled shotgun regulated under the National Firearms Act — its 14-inch barrel falls below the 18-inch minimum for a standard shotgun, so purchase and transfer require NFA compliance, including a tax stamp and additional processing time beyond a standard FFL transfer. Orthos still builds the SBS around its patented SHOCK FORCE recoil system, a T6 7075 hardened aluminum receiver, and a carbon fiber adjustable-comb stock, with a chrome-lined 4140 steel barrel and an M-LOK aluminum handguard. The gun feeds a 5+1 capacity magazine, and a FIBERTRON LED-illuminated fiber optic front sight rides on a ghost ring rear; overall length is just 33.5 inches with the stock collapsed. Among short-barreled semi-auto shotguns, the Raider S4 Elite SBS favors buyers already prepared for the NFA transfer process who want maximum compactness.
