TOZ-87

The TOZ-87 is a series of Russian pump-action shotguns produced by the Tula Arms Plant (TOZ). Introduced in the late 1980s, the TOZ-87 was designed as a versatile firearm suitable for hunting, self-defense, and sporting purposes.

The shotgun features a modular design, allowing for the quick change of barrels for different hunting or shooting needs. It is typically chambered in 12 gauge and utilizes a tubular magazine under the barrel. The capacity of the magazine varies depending on the model and barrel length.

Different variants of the TOZ-87 exist, often designated with suffixes indicating modifications or intended use. These variations may include changes to the stock, sights, and barrel length. Some models were specifically designed for export.

The TOZ-87 has been exported to various countries and remains in use among hunters and civilian shooters in Russia and elsewhere. Its reliability and relatively simple design have contributed to its continued popularity. Its production continues, with updated versions available. The action is typically smooth and considered robust.
