Wilkinson Tactical CR-12

Wilkinson Tactical is showing its new 12 gauge AR-style shotgun. It is built on a slightly modified AR-10 lower receiver. It has nickel-boron coated internal components that don’t require lubrication for reliable operation. It comes with a free-floating handguard and adjustable stock. The controls are fully ambidextrous.

The CR-12 upper can be switched out with an AR-10 upper receiver and the changes to the lower for 12 gauge operations do not interfere with rifle shooting. Standard AR-10 mags work flawlessly.

The CR-12 will come with two 5-round magazines and 10 or 12-round magazines will also be available.

Wilkinson Tactical is targeting the summer of 2017 for getting the CR-12 onto shelves. The projected retail price is $2495.

I would rather have the GEN12. At least I know this works, and they are available now!

I recently bought a Genesis Arms GEN 12. Thus far it has been flawless. I have shot all types of rounds through it, from cheap, short brass 2-3/4" target loads to heavy 3" slugs. Not a single misfire or jam. The trigger pull is light without being touchy. Recoil is surprisingly manageable even when firing rapidly. I highly recommend it, and they're available now.
