EGE ARMS LEVAR12S Review – Lever Action 12 Gauge Shotgun
In this EGE ARMS LEVAR12S review, we take a closer look at one of the most unique lever action 12 gauge shotguns on the Canadian market. Combining classic lever mechanics with a short tactical 10.6″ barrel, the LEVAR12S offers a mix of nostalgia and modern functionality.
The EGE ARMS LEVAR12S is a magazine-fed lever action 12-gauge shotgun that stands out for its ultra-short 10.6″ barrel, Picatinny rail, and M-LOK forend. While visually striking and fun to shoot, it’s known more as a range novelty than a duty-ready firearm.

Performance and Reliability
During testing, the EGE ARMS LEVAR12S demonstrated varying reliability depending on ammunition type. Full-power loads generally cycled better, while low-recoil shells sometimes caused extraction issues. The recoil is sharp due to the short barrel, but the cycling action remains smooth after some break-in.
Should You Buy the EGE ARMS LEVAR12S?
The LEVAR12S lever action shotgun is ideal for collectors and enthusiasts who enjoy unique firearms. However, it’s not recommended for home defense or hunting due to occasional feed and ejection issues. It’s best suited as a fun, conversation-starting range gun.
