FRANCOLIN 20″ 12GA TACTICAL

The Francolin 20″ 12 GA Tactical is listed as a 12-gauge shotgun with a 20-inch barrel and tactical configuration — essentially a shorter-barrel, tactical-style version of the Francolin shotgun series. It’s a basic, entry-level shotgun intended for general field, defensive, or tactical use rather than specialized competition or high-end sporting.

Key Features (based on catalogue listing)

• Gauge: 12 gauge — standard size for most hunting, tactical, and defensive shotguns.

• Barrel Length: 20 inches — relatively compact for maneuverability in close quarters or tactical handling.

• Action Type: Likely pump-action or semi-automatic depending on exact variant — the catalogue code SHOTFRANPATACT corresponds to the pump-action tactical stock variant.

• Magazine Capacity: 4+1 rounds (internal tube magazine) — 4 in the tube + 1 in the chamber, typical for civilian shotguns without extended tubes.

• Stock: Tactical stock — a rugged synthetic stock designed for a more “tactical” look and grip (vs. classic wooden field stock).

• General Use: Designed for field use, general purpose shooting, and can serve in a home-defense or tactical context thanks to the shorter barrel length and stock style.

• A shorter barrel for better maneuverability.

• A synthetic or ergonomic stock designed for quick handling.

• Often ghost-ring or bead sights suitable for rapid target acquisition.

• A focus on general practical use rather than sporting† aesthetics or long-range precision.
