Legacy Sports International is adding two new models of the Citadel Boss 25 to its lineup of semi-automatic shotguns. The new models feature a long-lasting and durable Cerakote finish for added protection and good looks.

Available in either Flat Dark Earth (FDE) or Tactical Grey, the new models have the same features that have made the Citadel Boss 25 a favorite for home defense, sport shooting and 3-gun competition. Shotguns in the Citadel Boss 25 lineup mimic the layout and design of the AR-15 platform, making them instantly recognizable to anyone who owns an AR. The safety on the gun is placed in a similar position, as is the magazine release, two features that help AR users feel right at home with this shotgun.

The top of the receiver has a Picatinny rail for adding an additional optic or accessory. Sights on the gun fold down or can be removed completely if needed. The Citadel 25 ships with two detachable five-round magazines and ships with five different chokes. Additionally, the gun also sports a 3-inch chamber for compatibility with a wide range of shotshells.

Citadel Boss 25 Cerakote FDE and Tactical Grey Features:

  • 12 gauge
  • Semi-automatic
  • 3-inch chamber
  • 18.75-inch Chrome-lined barrel
  • Muzzle brake at end of barrel for added control
  • 37.75-inch overall length
  • 14-inch LOP
  • Weight: 8 pounds
  • Textured grip fore-end
  • 5 chokes included
  • Two detachable magazines included
