EAA MC312 Semi Auto Inertia Shotgun 12 Gauge 3.5" Chamber 28" Vent Rib Barrel 5 Round Capacity Black Finish BLEM (Damaged Packaging)
This shotgun is TOUGH and VERSATILE!
Out of the box the MC312 runs 12GA 23/4", 3" and 3.5". We even tested target loads, 12GA 23/4" and hot 3.5", mixed in the same mag tube and the shotgun still functioned. This is a very difficult task for most shotguns as it requires the bolt to cycle back far enough to load the 12GA 3.5", but using only the energy from a target load 12GA 23/4". We really abused this gun in testing. We ran 700 rounds continuous leaving no time to cool, we mixed and matched ammo in a single mag tube, and we put it through some of the most grueling tests we could come up with. We ran the first 5000 rounds with zero cleaning, then ran a 10,000 round endurance test without replacing any parts. For the last test, we disassembled 5 shotguns, placed the parts in a box, mixed the parts up and reassembled the guns with a random selection. The MC312 fired with NO ADJUSTMENT NEEDED.
You can pay thousands for a shotgun with a fancy name on it, or you can buy this powerhouse for under $500. The GIRSAN MC312 even comes with a limited lifetime warranty. NO ONE puts a lifetime warranty on a shotgun, EXCEPT GIRSAN and EAA CORP.
That's how confident we are in the new MC312 Shotgun!

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
12 gauge is the most popular and useful shotgun gauges ever made. Suitable for everything from doves to geese. With sporting, military and law enforcement applications. Available in 2 ¾”, 3” and 3 ½”. The magnum lengths are generally preferred for waterfowl and turkey. Most major manufacturers produce guns and ammunition in a very wide septum for 12 gauge. Loads from ¾ oz. to 2 oz. are common with 1 1/8 oz Low base and 1 ¼ oz being the most common loadings. Target loads are normally around 1150 to 1200 FPS with High velocity lead loads tuning up 1350 FPS. Steel waterfowl loads tend to be loaded faster around 1500 FPS to compensate lower density shot. While the 2 ¾” loading is still the most popular ammunition made, nearly all current production guns have 3”or 3 ½” chambers. The shorter ammunition can be safely fired in longer chambers, but not all magnum semiautomatics will function with shorter shotshells.
