The Air Control Extreme is a next-generation shotgun built for demanding hunting conditions, offering a perfect blend of modern materials, tactical ergonomics, and rugged reliability.

AIRY™
Recoil System
The AIRY™ Recoil System absorbs and disperses recoil energy like never before. The result is a softer, smoother shooting experience—minimizing shoulder impact and maximizing control.
Aluminum Lower Receiver – Anodized,
Hydrographic, or Cerakote Finish
Durable construction with multiple finish options for corrosion resistance and style.
Upper Receiver – Drilled & Tapped, Milled Bohler Steel Monoblock
High-strength Bohler steel for superior barrel life and tight tolerances.
AIRY Recoil Pad
Enhanced comfort and stability while aiming, especially during long shooting sessions.



RETAY PUTS OVER
20% MORE PELLETS
IN THE KILL ZONE.
RETAY is far more consistent too, with shot-to-shot variability that is over 67% better than other performance shotgun brands

Patented “Two-Second” Push-Button”
TRIGGER GROUP REMOVAL ™
All Air Control Extreme Models feature a unique Removable Trigger Group system that allows you to quickly and easily remove the entire trigger group at the push of a button. This allows for easy cleaning or servicing, and makes Retay the only semi-auto shotgun you can truly clean in the field. Removing the trigger from the gun disables it so it can no longer be fired, so storing the trigger separately is also an added in-home safety feature.

Patented “Inertia Plus” / ”Rollover”
TORSION SPRING ACTION ™
An extremely frustrating problem with the action on some inertia shotguns is the possibility of being jarred out of battery, a problem that can cost you shot opportunities. Retay’s exclusive “Inertia Plus” Bolt uses a patented “Rollover” internal torsion spring to forcefully rotate the bolt head into battery and keep it from ever being jarred out of battery. This system promotes quiet closing, practically eliminates bolt rattle and, most importantly, means virtually no more missed shot opportunities.


Picatinny rail compatible
The Air Control Extreme is Picatinny rail compatible, allowing seamless attachment of scopes, lasers, flashlights, and other tactical accessories. It offers maximum flexibility for customization and professional use.

Hexagon Texture Anti-Sweating Grip
Unique grip pattern minimizes slipping, even in wet or sweaty conditions.
EXPANNDLE MAGAZINE
The Air Control Extreme is available with 7+1 and 10+1 magazine capacity options. This flexibility allows shooters to choose the most suitable setup based on their needs. While the lower capacity offers a more compact and lightweight experience, the extended magazine is ideal for longer shooting sessions. Perfect for sport shooting, training, or personal defense.
7+1 and 10+1 magazine capacity options.



“Dead Straight”
DEEP BORE DRILLED BARRELS ™
The barrel on a Retay shotgun is made from a solid cylinder bar of 4140 steel which is drilled out, end-to-end, via a process called deep bore drilling. Deep bore drilling is a modern, more expensive process than the hammer forging process used by other manufacturers. Deep bore drilling doesn’t stress the barrel or affect the integrity of the barrel in any way and
results in a stronger, extremely accurate, “Dead Straight” barrel.
This is also why Retay doesn’t have to cryogenically treat their barrels, a freezing processcommonly used in an attempt to partially add back strength to imperfectly-straight, hammer-forged barrels.

“Out of the Box”
FACTORY-LENGTHENED FORCING CONE ™
One of the first things performance shotgun owners typically do with their new shotgun is to send it to a custom gun shop to get the forcing cone lengthened. The forcing cone is that area in a shotgun where the shot load exits the wider chamber and enters the narrower bore. This area is typically very steep and short which can create excessive friction and pellet deformation. At Retay, we factory lengthen (and polish) the forcing cone in every barrel we make which, by reducing friction, increases shot velocity and, by reducing pellet collision and deformation, increases pattern density. This means better shooting performance right out of the box without the need for aftermarket gun smithing.
