Description
If you already run an AR and want that same feel in a shotgun, the Citadel Boss25 speaks your language. Controls sit right where your hands expect them, the mag release works like an AR, and instead of thumbing shells into a tube one at a time you drop the empty 5-rounder and slap in a fresh one. The gas-operated semi-auto action cycles a wide range of loads, and the 3-inch chamber lets you feed it everything from 2-3/4 inch target ammo to full-power defensive rounds. At around 8 pounds with a 37.75-inch overall length and an 18.75-inch barrel, it balances like the AR-10 platform it takes its cues from.
What Sets the Boss25 Vector Camo Apart
The chrome-lined 18.75-inch barrel comes threaded and ships with a factory-installed muzzle brake to keep the muzzle flat on fast follow-up shots. It runs a smooth-bore setup with five included choke tubes, so you can tighten patterns for longer shots or open things up for close work. The Vector Green Camo finish on the steel receiver gives this version a look that stands apart from the usual matte black crowd, and the synthetic stock carries the same green and black treatment.
Building Out Your Boss25
This gun is made to be personalized. The upper receiver wears a generous Picatinny top rail with plenty of room to mount a red dot or optic, and the forend gives you rail space for a light or forward grip. Fully adjustable folding front and rear sights flip up when you need them and tuck out of the way when you mount glass. The adjustable cheek comb on the butt stock lets you raise your eye line to sit behind taller optics, and the polymer pistol grip keeps everything familiar for AR shooters.
Between clays at the range, drills, and a spot by the nightstand, the Boss25 covers a lot of ground. Like most gas-driven semi-autos, it appreciates a proper break-in, so run a couple hundred rounds of full-power loads through it before settling into lighter target ammo and it will reward you with quick cycling and even quicker reloads a pump gun cannot match.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Citadel Boss25 come with more than one magazine?
Yes, the Boss25 ships with two 5-round detachable magazines right in the box. Legacy Sports also offers 10-round magazines if you want more capacity on tap. The AR-style mag release makes swapping them fast and intuitive.
What shells can the Boss25 handle?
The 3-inch chamber accepts both 2-3/4 inch and 3-inch 12 gauge shells, giving you room for everything from light target loads to heavier defensive rounds. Being a gas-operated semi-auto, it runs best once broken in. Send a couple hundred rounds of full-power loads through it before switching to lighter target ammo.
Can I mount a red dot or optic on the Boss25?
Absolutely. The upper receiver carries a Picatinny top rail with plenty of room for a red dot or other optic. The folding sights tuck out of the way when you mount glass, and the adjustable cheek comb lets you raise your eye line to sit properly behind taller optics.
Does the Boss25 come with choke tubes?
It does. The threaded 18.75-inch chrome-lined barrel includes five choke tubes so you can tune your pattern for the job at hand. Tighten things up for longer shots or open the pattern for close-in work with buckshot and birdshot.
