Frequently Asked Questions

What makes SRM Arms shotguns unique?

SRM Arms shotguns are unique due to their innovative rotating magazine system, which holds multiple shells within the forward grip, and their delayed roller operating system, similar to the H&K G3, which significantly reduces felt recoil and enhances reliability.

What is the capacity of the SRM Arms 1216 and 1228 shotguns?

The SRM Arms 1216 shotgun typically holds 16 rounds of standard 3-inch 12-gauge shells. The 1228 model is designed for mini shells and can hold up to 20 rounds of 1.75-inch shells.

How do SRM Arms shotguns handle recoil?

SRM Arms shotguns employ a delayed roller operating system, which is a non-gas, non-piston system. This design is highly effective at mitigating recoil, making the shotguns surprisingly light to shoot despite their capacity.

Are SRM Arms shotguns made in the USA?

Yes, SRM Arms shotguns are 100% manufactured in the United States. This includes all components and assembly, with the exception of some subcontracted parts like Ruger hammer-forged barrels.

What is the maintenance like for SRM Arms shotguns?

Maintenance is straightforward. The shotguns disassemble similarly to an AR-15 with captive pins, and the delayed roller system is robust and requires minimal cleaning. There are no small, easily lost parts during disassembly.
