M26 PDW

The M26-PDW-M1 is the World's smallest and  lightest box magazine-fed 12 gauge shotgun. Manually operated,  hand-fired and light weight, this shotgun is based on the U.S. Army's  only type classified shotgun system, the M26 MASS. The M26-PDW-M1  weighs only 2.77 lbs. and fires all available 12 gauge munitions  including breeching and less-lethal. Ideal for breeching and personal  defense.

Some are and some are not. The M26 MASS and M26 CMCS models have a 7.75 inch barrel and are designated as a SBS (Short Barrel Shotgun / Title 2 Firearm). The M26 PDW model has a barrel length of 3.25 inches but because it has a pistol grip and no butt stock it is designated as an AOW (Any Other Weapon / Title 2 Firearm). The M26 CMC model has an 18.25" barrel and is designated as a standard Shotgun (Title 1 Firearm).

It depends on the model. The M26 CMC is a title 1 standard shotgun with an 18 inch barrel. All of the other M26 models have a barrel length less than 18 inches and are title 2 (NFA Class 3) firearms. 

As a manufacturer, we do not sell directly to consumers. Your purchase process depends on which M26 model you choose:

• For the M26-MASS, M26-CMCS, and M26-PDW (NFA/Class III): Contact a local SOT firearms dealer. They will verify state legality, handle your background check, and manage the NFA transfer with the ATF. Once approved, they will coordinate with us to initiate a Form 3 transfer to their location.

• For the M26-CMC Standard Shotgun: You can use any standard Title 1 FFL dealer in your state to process your background check and transfer.
