It is spring-loaded in both the horizontal (storage) position and vertical (deployment) position and is locked into place with heavy lugs to prevent the chance of folding prematurely or in an unintentional situation. The folding front grip is manufactured from 4130 Steel and has a heavy checkering to assist in its gripping properties. The front grip allows the recoil to be divided into both hands instead of the rear hand taking the brunt of the sometimes-heavy recoil depending on the load used. This extremely important feature assists in comfort and control. It is quickly and easily swung down to reveal a vertical front pistol grip giving the shooter a rock-solid secondary point of hold.

In the closed position the front grip of the Super Shorty takes up no more room than a standard forend. Most shotguns in this class retain their horizontal forend making handling difficult at best and usually require a modified rear grip for retention and/or comfort. While there are other short shotguns available, something that makes the Serbu Super Shorty stand apart from the others is the folding and locking front grip designed by Mark Serbu. With the large number of shotgun accessories available from companies such as Mesa Tactical and Advanced Technology, the possible configurations are almost unlimited. If you own the вЂњShort Barreled ShotgunвЂќ version of the Super Shorty, all standard stocks can be utilized. All accessories (unrelated to barrel length) designed for the original host firearms are still compatible with the Super Shorty including a wide variety of pistol grips. This pertains to both 2-3/4 inch rounds and 3-inch rounds. The Remington design is silver soldiered rather than threaded like the Mossberg, creating a unique solution to complete the conversion.ДЄll versions of the Super Shorty hold two rounds in the shortened magazine tube giving the operator a 3-round capacity when fully loaded. The Remington conversion takes considerably longer time to modify and shorten than those built on the Mossberg/Maverick platform because of the design of the magazine tube. The availability of the pistol grip version was not the only hurdle necessary to convert the Remington to the Super Shorty design. The Remington shotguns were not previously available from the factory in a вЂњpistol gripвЂќ version, which is necessary for the AOW classification allowing the Form 4 transfer to take place with a $5 tax stamp.

The addition of the Remington Model 870 to the lineup is new being recently offered in 2006. Current production includes all listed above in 12-Guage only.

6, March, 2001.) With documented customers that include police departments, foreign governments, military units and even Hollywood (Bad Boys II вЂ“ Sony Pictures 2002 and others), Serbu Firearms has met the demand of their customers by offering their unique shotgun in 20-Guage and 12-Guage, as AOWs (Any Other Weapon) and Short Barreled Shotguns and has recently started manufacturing them on the Remington Model 870 platform as well as the original Mossberg/Maverick model. Originally designed as a challenge to manufacture a very short repeat-action AOW from a close friend, the Serbu Super Shorty shotgun has achieved over 1,000 units sold and is now available in several configurations. Since the introduction of the first Serbu Super Shorty (SSS) in 1998, this firearm, once considered a novelty, has earned an enviable reputation.
