About this product
The GForce Arms GF Two 12 Gauge Semi-Auto 28″ 3+1 Midnight Bronze is a gas-operated sporting shotgun featuring a Cerakote-finished receiver and synthetic furniture designed for reliable performance in field and clay applications. With a 28-inch barrel and 3-inch chamber, it handles everything from target loads to magnum waterfowl rounds while maintaining a 49.5-inch overall length that balances swing dynamics and portability.
What is the GForce Arms GF Two used for?
The GF Two is optimized for waterfowl hunting, clay target sports, and field shooting where durability and corrosion resistance are priorities. Its 28-inch barrel provides improved shot pattern consistency over shorter field barrels, while the gas system reduces felt recoil by approximately 30% compared to inertia-driven systems. The included Crio choke system (C, IC, M, IM, F) allows customization for everything from tight turkey patterns to open skeet spreads.
How does the GForce Arms GF Two compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U?
The GF Two offers higher practical capacity (3+1 vs 2+0) and faster follow-up shots than the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U, though the Stevens provides instant barrel selection for mixed target presentations. Where the GF Two excels is in high-volume shooting scenarios—its semi-auto operation reduces shooter fatigue during extended sessions, while the Stevens' over-under design offers simpler maintenance and more consistent point of impact between barrels.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The GF Two weighs 7.2 pounds unloaded with a 49.5-inch overall length and 28-inch barrel. This weight distribution puts the balance point 14 inches forward of the receiver, providing stable swing characteristics for moving targets. The synthetic stock measures 14.25 inches length of pull, accommodating most adult shooters without modification.
Who is this NOT for?
This shotgun isn't suitable for tactical applications requiring shorter barrels or higher capacities—the 28-inch barrel exceeds most practical room-clearing dimensions and the 3+1 capacity falls short of modern defensive standards. Left-handed shooters may find the ejection pattern problematic during rapid fire, as shells eject approximately 45 degrees forward and right from the port.
What's in the box?
The package includes the shotgun, five Crio choke tubes (C, IC, M, IM, F), stock shim kit for drop and cast adjustment, and sling studs pre-installed on forend and stock. Missing from typical packages are cleaning tools and choke tube wrenches—budget $25-40 for a basic maintenance kit.
Is the GForce Arms GF Two worth it at $603.99?
At $603.99, the GF Two delivers exceptional value for hunters needing a weather-resistant semi-auto that won't corrode in blind environments. The Cerakote finish alone would add $200+ to a refinished firearm, while the included choke system represents another $150 value. Compared to Turkish imports at similar price points, the GF Two's gas system design shows more consistent cycling with light target loads down to 1-1/8 ounce.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with aftermarket choke tubes?
- The GF Two uses Beretta/Benelli Mobile choke threads, not the more common Invector or Winchoke patterns. You'll need Mobile-specific tubes—Carlson's and Briley both produce aftermarket options starting at $35 per tube.
- Does it fit in a standard 52-inch shotgun case?
- Yes, the 49.5-inch overall length fits comfortably in most standard cases with 2-3 inches of clearance. For hard cases, look for interior dimensions of at least 51 inches to accommodate protective padding.
- How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders within 2 business days, with ground shipping adding 3-5 additional days depending on your FFL's location. Total transit time typically ranges from 5-7 business days from order confirmation.
- Can I return it if it doesn't cycle properly?
- Ironclad Armory accepts returns within 30 days for mechanical defects, but you must first attempt break-in with 100 rounds of high-velocity ammunition (至少 3 dram equivalent). Most cycling issues resolve after this procedure—if not, they'll cover return shipping for inspection.
