Go behind the scenes with the custom shotgun manufacturer behind everything from ornate designs from A. H. Fox, to etched Model 21s. Though best known for its work on high-end shotguns like these, Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing has now expanded into other markets, producing such firearms as the double-pump DP-12 shotgun, and even AR-platform sporting rifles. For more on this multi-faceted brand, check out this feature segment from a recent episode of American Rifleman TV.
