The TOZ-87 (ТОЗ-87) is a Soviet gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun.
The shotgun MTs 24-12 was designed in 1978-1987 in TsKIB SOO, as a successor to the MTs 21-12 (the first Soviet semi-automatic shotgun), under the leadership of N. V. Babanin. In 1987 it was renamed to TOZ-87 and Tula Arms Plant began serial production of the shotgun.
After the fall of the Soviet Union due to the economic crisis in Russian Federation in the 1990s, the prices of firearms increased. In September 1994, the cost of one new standard serial TOZ-87 shotgun was from 970 thousand rubles to 1.5 million rubles.
The TOZ-87 led to the development of the pump-action TOZ-194 in 1994.
TOZ-87 is a smoothbore shotgun.
It has a beech or walnut fore-end and shoulder stock with rubber recoil pad on it.
