Rock Island Armory 12RSS24 Side By 3" 2-Round Walnut Stock Shotgun

The Rock Island 12RSS24 Side by Side Full Size 12 Gauge shotgun represents the enduring appeal of classic double-barrel shotgun design refined for modern hunters and sport shooters. Chambered for both 2¾" and 3" shells, this 24-inch barreled shotgun delivers the versatility to handle standard loads and magnum ammunition without changing firearms. The external hammer, double trigger setup, and automatic ejectors define the operational characteristics operators expect from a time-proven platform built for reliability in the field.

Weighing 8.8 lbs with a 31.5-inch overall length, the 12RSS24 balances shootability with practical field carry. The aluminum receiver keeps weight low while the walnut stock provides the classical aesthetics and functional grip ergonomics users depend on in side-by-side shotguns. The 24-inch barrel length optimizes the balance between sight radius, handling speed, and velocity across the full range of 12-gauge loads. Black anodized metal surfaces provide corrosion resistance necessary for field use and storage. Right-hand configuration accommodates the vast majority of shooter demographics.

This side-by-side shotgun serves hunters pursuing upland game and waterfowl, trap and skeet competitors, and shooters who value the mechanical simplicity and quick follow-up capability of a two-shot double-barrel platform. The 2-round capacity and dual-trigger design eliminate dependency on internal trigger mechanisms, making manual operation straightforward and maintenance accessible. For shooters seeking a modern rendition of the classic side-by-side shotgun without unnecessary complexity, the Rock Island 12RSS24 offers proven function at accessible pricing.
