The 12-gauge shotgun is machined from 7075 aluminum and is mil-spec hard anodized for durability. Standard Manufacturing says all internal components are sale bath nitride coated to provide lubricity.

“Standard Manufacturing’s SKO Mini, proudly made in the USA, offers superior firepower due to its fast semi-auto action and quick interchange magazines,” Standard Manufacturing said in a statement on its site. “It possesses the most reliable gas operated system available with smooth and flawless operation across a variety of loads. And even has bolt hold open after last round.”
