The Tokarev TX3 12A1 12 Gauge Pump-Action Shotgun from Tokarev USA is a rugged dual-bar pump built for defensive use (brand part no. 21000420). It carries an 18.5-inch chrome-lined barrel with a ventilated heat shield, an integrated Weaver rail, and ghost ring rear and fiber optic front sights. The polymer stock and forearm are compatible with Mossberg 500/590 furniture, so aftermarket upgrades are easy to find.
