Our 12 ga flechette sabots are for reloading, and assembled using our patented M1 sabot holding all the small arms grade flechettes points forward. The sabot transportation band holds the sabot and flechettes together untill you insert the assembly into your shell. Our assembled sabots have an indefinite shelf life compared to loaded ammunition. The M1 sabot is designed for bore safe protection of the weapons barrel and for consistant flechettes release performance. It maintains the flechettes critical bore alignment and release consistancy, unattainable with loose fillers ands wad card closures.
The flechettes packed into the M1 sabot are new hardened small arms grade, they have more concentric points than commonly available salvage flechettes. Salvage flechettes from surplus canister munitions can have points that are up to 0.010 inches non-concentric, and can cause extreme dispersal around the aim point when fired in small arms. Our flechettes insure higher performance and longer ranges than normally seen in this type of ammunition.
Flechette sabot ammunition weighs approximately half that of conventional lead 9 ball 00-buckshot cartridges, allowing you to carrying twice as much ammunition for a given load bearing weight limit. Our sabot with 19 steel flechettes has 211 percent more projectiles than lead 9 ball 00-buckshot, with an equally higher probability of kill (P/K) or incapacitating hit (I/H) at all your engagement ranges. The small arms grade flechettes used in our M1 sabot series are aerodynamically efficent compared to the deformed lead balls in fired buckshot, with exemplary accuracy and penetration performance at all ranges for soft targets.
Flechette sabot ammunition functions best in pump-action shotguns having cylinder bore or improved cylinder bore choke, as found in most security or service weapons with barrel lengths from 6 to 20 inches. The current production load will not fully function in some semi-automatic shotguns such as the Remington 1100 shotguns, Saga, and Benelli M-4. A fully functional load for semi-automatic shotguns is under development.
