Design and practical features

This pump-action shotgun from Ati is straightforward: robust pump operation, traditional ergonomics, and a barrel that accepts screw-in chokes. The ability to use screw-in chokes expands the DF-12’s role from tight-pattern home defense to more regulated patterning for range work or other permitted uses. The listing notes little or no physical wear, which is an important factor when evaluating used firearms — included factory box and paperwork add to confidence in provenance.

Why screw-in chokes matter

Screw-in chokes let you tune shot patterns without changing the firearm. For defense, a wider cylinder or improved cylinder choke gives denser short-range hits. For pattern testing and training at the range, tighter choke options improve shot consistency for clay-target style drills. The DF-12’s compatibility with threaded chokes is a practical advantage over fixed-choke designs.
