The TOZ-28 (ТОЗ-28) is a Soviet hunting combination gun.[1][3][2]

History

[edit]

The gun was designed by G. P. Chetverikova (Г. П. Четверикова) in early 1960s.[2]

Since 1963 began the production of this shotgun by Tula Arms Plant.[3][2] In 1963[4]-1964 it was shown at VDNKh exhibition in Moscow.[5] In 1965, this gun was included in the list of firearms offered for export to other countries.[6]

On December 13, 1996, president of the Russian Federation B. N. Yeltsin signed the federal law № 150, which entered into force on July 1, 1997. In accordance with this law, possession of civilian firearms chambered for handgun ammunition was prohibited.[7] As a result, since July 1, 1997, all TOZ-28 guns were banned on the territory of the Russian Federation and they had to be handed over to governmental law enforcement agencies for destruction.

TOZ-28 is a combination gun, with one rifled barrel under two other.[1][2]
