What's the difference between the KSG and the CNC?

Hi Ansel, there is no difference. KSG is the series/model of the gun. CNC is part of the Kel-Tec name, Kel-Tec CNC Industries Inc. Stay safe & have a great day!

Ansel, going to make this very easy. "Kel-Tec CNC Industries Inc is commonly referred to as Kel-Tec"

Hi Ansel and welcome. They are one and the same company division. Kel-Tec CNC Industries - https://www.keltecweapons.com/contact/ ---------- Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

The Kel-Tec KSG (Kel-Tec Shotgun) is a bullpup 12-gauge pump-action shotgun designed by Kel-Tec. It has two tube magazines which the user of the gun can switch between manually.[2] Each tube holds up to seven 2.75-inch (70 mm) 12-gauge shotshells or six 3-inch (76 mm) shotshells. The Kel-Tec KSG has an overall length of 633mm. Kel-Tec has also introduced a larger variant, called the KSG25, which holds 24+1 rounds to the originals 14+1 rounds. Kel-Tec CNC is just the company name. No difference.

Is this California compliant? I’ve always admired the keltec shotgun and I’m looking to purchase one soon. Please detail .

Craig, yes Sir, Pump Shotguns do not carry the same restrictions as Semi-Auto Shotguns. Details under Shotguns "Permitted" here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/california_restrictions.pdf

Is this KSG compliant with Massachusetts regulations?

Anrafel, yes it is being a "Pump" Shotgun. Details here under "Shotguns" : https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/massachusetts_restrictions.pdf

This does not require atf stamp correct

no it does not require a tax stamp it is a Bullpup design and is perfectly legal

Correct Marcus. This is a Bullpup design and is perfectly legal without a Tax Stamp or NFA Registration.

Can this shotgun be purchased in NY?

yes it is NY state legal NYC most likely not but who knows as a pump it is not restricted "Shotguns The following are prohibited: Semi-automatic shotguns that have one or more of the following features: 1. Folding / telescoping stock 2. Thumbhole stock 3. Fore-grip 4. Fixed magazine over 10 rounds 5. Ability to accept a detachable magazine " https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/new_york_restrictions.pdf

Christopher, yes, this shotgun is legal in NY. (Pump and 2 separate and non continuous feed tubes). A selector switch must be manually engaged to switch firing tube.

Does Buds sell the pictured sights on this KSG?

Buds does not have the exact ones in stock Monty. These would be the closest ones Buds has available : https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/712013837/SUN+LOW+PRO+FLIP+UP+AR+SIGHTS

Hi Monty, These would be the closest ones Buds has available unfortunately: budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/712013837/SUN+LOW+PRO+FLIP+UP+AR+SIGHTS

what gen ksg is this?

this is the latest production Gen 3 Model.

Leander, the is the latest production Gen 3 Model.

Anyone else notice that Bud's is now charging credit price on all layaways (3% surcharge, 12% APR) even if you pay with ACH? When did that happen? Still incorrectly advertising the cash price for all 180-day layaways down payments.

The layaway policy changes at the end of April. I think it may hurt their sale but only time will tell

Hi Lynn, I did notice this. You might want to contact Buds customer service (859) 368-0371 9am-9pm mon-fri or use the blue Chat Now button.

This policy was changed 3 or 4 weeks ago Lynn. Hopefully it is only temporary.

Does this model include fold down sights ?

Geogre, this model doesn't come with sights

Kel-tec doesn't give you any sights with this one, but a nice rail to add your own. I know I won't win points here, but I am not a kel-tec fan. Every tec I owned has always been plagued with problems. It may just be bad luck, but I'm a kel-tec doubter now. I have handled 1 nice one, but only for 20minutes or so, (not long enough to really test it out). If you do get it, please review in detail. I'm curious how the brands doing these days.

The pictured fold down sights are not included in this package according to UPC code. This is a stock photo with sights pictured only.

The KSG (Kel-Tec Shotgun) is Kel-Tec CNC’s first entry into the shotgun market. The size, shape, and design is similar to the currently available Kel-Tec RFB rifle, but the KSG ejects downward, instead of forward. The KSG weighs 6.9 lbs. and is as compact as legally possible with a 26.1” overall length and an 18.5” cylinder bore barrel. Even with this compact size, the internal dual tube magazines hold an impressive 12 rounds of 12 gauge 3” rounds in total (6 per tube). It can also reliably shoot shells as short as 1 3/4" up to the 3".

If you are looking for a beast of a shotgun to protect your property then look no further than this Kel-Tec! 15 round capacity with so many ways to customize and is so versatile!!! Smooth pump action and handles most anything you run through it! Love it!!!

The quintessential home defense/security shotgun. 2 tunes one loaded with OO buckshot and the other with slugs. The ease of switching barrels to adapt to the desired use is excellent. Several hundred rounds sent down range and not a single issue. This gun always catches everyone's attention at the range leaving people with the urge to buy one. American made to top it all off. Best gun purchase I have made.

gun shoots great out box with extended bottom rail, magpul vfg, limbsaver and cheek pad with mbus flip ups. I was impressed. no jams or misfires, nothing. Another 100 rounds will take apart and oil. action was smooth, no hiccups. mag selector was fine as is. great shipping from buds. I did have to pay 848 tho for mine, and as I write review they have $748 pictured as price. Nottt. missed the blk version twice inputting credit card info, was not gonna miss out 3rd time.

This KEL-TEC KSG was the best price around. The process of buying online is new to me. Bud’s Guns made this a simple process. They ship the gun quickly and kept me in the loop the whole time. I will be buying my guns from them again.

Bought the Kel-Tec KSG. After watching reviews on YouTube after I ordered it I was a little apprehensive about how I would like it. I have found no problems the gun functions perfectly. I would recommend the ksg-12 to anyone that is thinking about it. Ordering through Buds Guns has turned out very well for a first time buyer. of course when you order something waiting a day seems like forever but it was a very fast delivery. I will definitely be a return customer.

This gun looks amazing, however I cannot shoot it because it will not cycle shells into the chamber and I cannot load it. I am hoping the manufacturer has a solution or can exchange my KSG for one that works... I have already put many upgrades on it so I am hoping this is an easy fix. Looks like its a common problem online. I will update based on their response to my issue.
