CZ-USA 1012 G2 12 Gauge Semi-Auto OD Green 28" 4+1 RD 06380

Breaking records since it’s 2019 introduction, the CZ 1012 shotgun was in need of an American hunting focused feature set. The 2nd Generation (G2) of the gas-less inertia powered CZ 1012 brings to bear the best in a complete package. Instead of redirecting gas from the barrel to run the action, the 1012 series uses a spring within the bolt to store energy during the shotgun’s recoil, spending this energy a split second later to rotate and unlock the twin lugs from the barrel extension and withdraw the spent shell. 

The major advantage of the inertia system is the less stringent maintenance schedule. Unlike gas guns that need periodic cleaning of the piston and magazine tube, our 1012’s needs are vastly fewer. During testing, the 1012s were pushed to 5,000 rounds without a drop of oil or cleaning of any sort, while experiencing zero parts breakage or malfunctions. In normal field use, the occasional cleaning and oiling should be more than enough.

Additionally, the gas-less system itself is tuned to run a wider variety of shells — from light-recoiling target loads up to the smoking hot 3″ magnums currently on the market.

The two biggest upgrades from the Gen 1 to the Gen 2 is the ability to add a mag extension to the Gen 2. Any Nordic pattern tube extensions will work on the 1012 G2, a feature the G1 did not have. Secondly, the safety mechanism is reversible, along with the included stock shims, lefties can now swap the safety for a more natural safety manipulation. 

The CZ Active Choke system offers a long forcing cone and an extended parallel section of the choke tubes creating incredibly consistent patterning
