This video from Armament Research Services (ARES) explores the unique Fosbery pump-action shotgun, designed around 1891. Notably, it features a bolt design with six independent locking lugs, remarkably similar to those developed by Johnson and Stoner over 50 years later for the AR-15 platform. The firearm's history is further complicated by its evolution from a pump-action rifle, later converted into a shotgun using a Winchester barrel. Despite not reaching commercial production, the Fosbery shotgun stands as an intriguing piece of early firearm innovation and a precursor to modern bolt designs.
