This "Gun Of The Week" episode features an in-depth look at the Tokarev TT 12, an AR-style, semi-automatic 12-gauge shotgun. The video highlights its gas-operated system, AR-15 inspired controls and layout (including bilateral levers, straight-line bore axis, and flattop receiver with a Picatinny rail), and detachable box magazines (5 and 10-round). While mechanically distinct from the AR-15, it shares similar ergonomics. The review covers its 18.5" barrel, compatibility with 3" shells, included chokes, M-Lok slots, QD sockets, and flip-up sights. The video also addresses practical aspects like gas venting and cleaning complexity, with positive remarks on its range performance and ease of use.
The Citadel Boss 25 offers AR-style ergonomics and detachable magazines at an affordable street price around $500. While it cycles most loads well after initial break-in, low-recoil options can be sluggish. Its proprietary components mean no AR-308 parts compatibility, and the trigger pull is heavy at 6.5-7 lbs. Unique safety features allow engagement with the hammer down, and the hybrid handguard offers versatile mounting options.
