Orthos Arms Raider S4 Elite Holt Works 12Ga 18

The Orthos Arms Raider S4 Elite is a 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun built for shooters who demand performance without compromise. This gas-operated 12ga features an 18.5-inch chrome-lined barrel, T6 7075 hardened aluminum receiver, and a compact 40-inch overall length (stock collapsed)—making it equally at home in tight quarters or on the range. Whether you're running tactical drills, competing in 3-gun, or setting up a home-defense platform, the Raider S4 Elite delivers the ergonomics and modularity modern shotgunners expect.

Recoil management is front and center here. The adjustable carbon-fiber stock incorporates Orthos's proprietary SHOCK FORCE recoil system—a feature designed to keep your shoulder comfortable even when cycling 3-inch magnum loads. An adjustable cheek pad lets you dial in the perfect sight picture, while the oversized charging handle and enhanced bolt release make operation smooth under stress. The top-mounted Picatinny rail and MLOK handguard give you a clean platform for optics and accessories; furniture comes from a partnership with Black River Manufacturing and is finished in multi-tone Cerakote for durability and looks.

Sighting options include ghost-ring iron sights paired with Orthos's FIBERTRON LED front sight—a fiber-optic design with an integrated LED for target acquisition in low light. An angled, three-piece modular vertical grip with MLOK slots, rubber overmolded controls, and front and rear sling mounts round out the package. Right out of the box you get the shotgun, a combat sling, a breacher choke tube, and the full manual.
