The Citadel BOSS-25 is an AR-style, magazine-fed 12-gauge semi-automatic designed for tactical, home-defense, and sporting use. It ships with an 18.75" chrome-lined barrel, 3" chamber, and a 5+1 capacity using detachable box magazines, giving the platform familiar ergonomics and quick reload ability compared with tube-fed shotguns. Built on a matte-black receiver with an upper Picatinny rail, the BOSS-25 features a synthetic adjustable-comb stock, ergonomic forend with textured grip, and a faux-suppressor-style heat shield that modernizes its appearance while protecting the barrel. Standard accessories often include multiple choke tubes and a muzzle device, plus a choke wrench in some kits. Reviews and retailer listings note it’s an affordable entry into magazine-fed 12-gauge designs: controllable in recoil and capable with proper loads, though users should run recommended velocity/load types for reliable cycling and follow the manufacturer’s choke guidance.
