A shotgun includes an action that is capable of rapidly chambering a shotshell after the shotgun has run out of shotshells and is capable of allowing shotshells to be removed from the magazine without cycling the shotshells through the action.

Shotgun having an improved shotshell feeding mechanism

A shotgun includes an action that locks the firing pin in a retracted position when the action is not closed. In one embodiment, the firing pin is held in a retracted position without the use of a spring, which may fail over time. In another embodiment, the action includes a bolt slide that is configured to hold the firing pin in the retracted position when the action is open.

Firearm having an improved firing pin locking mechanism

A shotgun includes a forearm and a fastening mechanism that is used to couple the forearm to the remainder of the shotgun. The fastening mechanism moves between a first position where the forearm is coupled to the remainder of the shotgun and a second position where the forearm is uncoupled from the remainder of the shotgun. In one embodiment, the fastening mechanism is a lever-type fastening mechanism. In another embodiment, the fastening mechanism includes an anchor that is shaped to be received in a hole in a magazine of the shotgun. The anchor rotates between a first position where the anchor is unable to exit the hole so that the forearm is coupled to the magazine and a second position where the anchor is able to exit the hole so that the forearm is uncoupled from the magazine.

Firearm having an improved forearm fastening mechanism

A magazine plug is configured to be positioned in a magazine of a shotgun to reduce the shotshell capacity of the shotgun. In one embodiment, the magazine plug has an elongated cross-sectional shape. The magazine plug is configured to rotate between a first orientation where the magazine plug can move longitudinally into and out of the magazine and a second orientation where the magazine plug is prevented from moving longitudinally out of the magazine.
