Standard Manufacturing SKO 12 Shotgun, We are testing this shotgun and thus far it has been very robust and solid. In comparison to other magazine fed AR15 Style the SKO is built like a tank. Weight is approx 9 pounds so it is a bit heavier than the competition . We are working with factory 5 & 10 round mags and hope to test the drum mag soon.

Thus far we have only been running hi brass loads with the gun but do plan on testing low power loads once the SKO-12 has been broken in. Below is a brief video showing the gun in action on the first range trip. Thus far we have been very happy and can say this thing is solid and the machining work is top quality.Standard Manufacturing is the the offshoot of Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing a well known and highly respected company with a long history of providing top tier hunting & collector shotguns.

How long before we get a "firearm" version?
That'd probably be a heap of fun. Looks pretty damn beefy though. |

Just as an aside......
I've noticed something odd about Standard manufacturing Company. If you read the owner's manual for the DP-12 you'll notice that in several areas the owner's manual is word for word EXACTLY the same as the owner's manual for the Kel-Tec KSG bullpup shotgun. Also, the two designs are very similar, both being modified John Browning Ithaca Model 37 designs. The owner's manuals and similarity of some parts lead me to suspect that there's some connection between Standard Manufacturing and Kel-Tec. |

I will tell you, I just bought one of these monsters and I love it. I'm not familiar w/Kel-Tec; however nowadays, everything's possible. Companies merge an so on, but this time around, it appears someone finally got it right. As far as mag fed shotguns go. Don't get me wrong, I had a Molot VEPR 12 and had to get rid of it b/c it would jam every 3-4 rds. This one, I shot it three times already; so far it ate slugs, 00 and bird shots like a meet grinder.

What is in the conversion kit? It seems it should be as simple as screwing in a pistol tube.

Taking the price for the Shorty from their website, and adding in the Rail and conversion kit, It tally's up to roughly $967. Which is slightly less than the SKO-12 from Atlantic (on the SKO site, its $1100 for the SKO-12).

Quote HistoryQuoted: It is a firearm because it does not have a stock, however it has an 18" barrel and is 26" long. So you could add a stock and it would just become a shotgun. Haven’t had a chance to shoot it a lot (only 50 rounds so far of slugs and 00 Buck) but it has run flawlessly so far. I intend to make this my 3-Gun Match shotty |

Quote HistoryQuoted: No not that simple. When you take that butt cap off you have to remove a couple internal parts and replace them with three others, one of which is threaded for buffer tubes. pics if you feel like it.... im supposed to have one on the way, was hoping i was gonna get away with not spending the 200$ for the buffer tube adapter.... |

got mine, i rally like this thing, their website kinda sucks, as does their tech support... guy on phone said he didnt wanna discuss legal stuff while telling me i coulndt shoot an arm brace off my shoulder... told me he didnt have time to talk on phone, kinda f'd up.... also, he called the mags "clipz" sooooooooo, epic fail....
anyways, lot to like about this thing, as long as i can get decent tech support and customer service when i want/need it.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4OvQIGDg4I things to like -1 PGO firearm, with a pistol buffer tube you can get away with a 12" barrel -2 ar pistol grip accepting -3 ar controls -4 really looks like ar inspired fcg, just modified for size -5 has a buffer at rear of reciever, will absorb some recoil etc -6 with some tools could convert to lh charge if you were dedicated -7 barrel is real close od to a saiga, so you could externally thead for chokes/breaks etc and have interchangeable parts... - |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That just cooled down my enthusiasm a few degrees. It's got an 18" barrel already, no need to make me spend another $200 just to put a stock on it. Don't want the goofy, fifty foot rail, just the shorty with the right parts to screw in an AR tube. They don't sell the buffer tube parts separate? i have a couple pieces of 1.25" OD alum on my work bench that could be modified to fit around current (shotgun)bolt buffer assy, i just dont have the welder and lathe to make the parts fit together.... i think it would only require 2 pieces of aluminum. the 1.25 od that the armbrace would mount to, divot/dimple for your wanted armbrace placement, and a smaller, shorter alum piece that would get welded to other piece (1.25 od). mine not cycling good from hip, but with a jury rigged brace, when gun against my shoulder it cycles well |

I asked them on their Facebook page. They said an arm brace would fit on the rear receiver extension. I don't know which, though, or the diameter.
And a brace should be good to go, as long as the overall length stays 26± inches, I think. Best, JBR |

that mini is real neat! exactly ideal... except that 2 round mag in the top pic, why bother!
their tech support is garbage though. i tried calling them, asked about "the mini" type principle, and they were rude. talked about how sub 18" barrel illegal, that they werent lawyers, that they couldnt advise this and that, just really soured me on them as a company. granted i was probably talking to a knuckle dragging assembler guy, and not someone that could actually help with my questions, but they shouldnt have routed me to him if he didnt have "people skills" |

That short stub probably unscrews so you should be able screw an arm brace tube into the adapter and use an arm brace of your choice. An arm brace makes sense with the shorter 14" barrel. |
