The Retay ACE-R 20 gauge 28-inch Black Synthetic Matte shotgun (Retay USA part no. B-RACEBLK-28) is an inertia-driven semi-automatic from the ACE-R family. Retay USA gives it a 28-inch barrel and a 3-inch chamber, and it holds 3+1. The finish is Black Synthetic Matte, and the sight is a single fiber-optic bead. The ACE-R adds a factory-lengthened forcing cone and Retay’s Airy recoil reduction, and it runs the Inertia Plus rotating bolt with no gas system to clean. The 28-inch barrel adds sight radius and a smoother swing, which helps on longer passing shots at doves and ducks.

Key Specifications

• The gauge is 20 gauge, a lighter gun and softer recoil than a 12 gauge, with plenty of pattern for most birds.
• The barrel is 28 inches long and deep-bore drilled, a longer sight radius for a smoother swing.
• The chamber is 3 inches, which sets the longest shell the gun is built to fire.
• Capacity is 3+1, meaning three shells in the magazine plus one in the chamber.
• The finish is Black Synthetic Matte, a low-glare look that suits blinds and range days.
• The action is Inertia Plus, a rotating-bolt inertia design that Retay says gives full lock-up with no bolt rattle.
• The choke set is extended choke tubes in the C, IC, M, IM and F constrictions, so you can change patterns for the game or target.
• The sight is a single fiber-optic bead, for quick target pickup.
• The safety is oversized and reversible, so it can be set up to suit the shooter.
• The trigger group is a push-button removable unit, which lets you pull it out for cleaning or servicing.
