Abstract
The dual action shotgun includes a receiver that has an auto-loading mechanism coupled to a magazine. The magazine extends outwardly from the receiver to facilitate sliding movement of an action arm thereon relative to the receiver. A manually operable foregrip also slidable along the magazine is positioned to manually operate the action arm to prepare a cartridge and the firing mechanism of the shotgun independent of the operation of the auto-loading mechanism.
