Developed in South Africa in the 1990s, the Mag-7 was conceived as a close combat weapon to fill a similar niche to the submachine gun by very different means. Instead of using bursts of fire to increase hit probability and lethality, the Mag-7 is a pump action shotgun using proprietary shortened shot shells that can fit inside a pistol grip magazine well. While still in production, importation into the United States was in low numbers and chiefly in the NFA-compliant "M1" configuration; this example was brought in by PW Arms and restored to a short barreled shotgun. Blade front and notch rear sights, with a birdcage flash hider concealing an angle-cut barrel, with an ambidextrous safety, checkered forearm and pistol grip, and a hardwood buttstock. Length of pull is 16 5/8 inches. Included with the lot is one extra magazine and a photocopied instruction manual.
