The Tokarev USA TAR is a 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun (Tokarev part no. 21000173) that borrows the style and manual of arms of an AR/M4 rifle, giving shooters already familiar with that platform an easy transition to the shotgun world. Its 18.5-inch black steel barrel pairs with an urban camo receiver and a cheek-riser compatible synthetic stock, and integrated Picatinny rails on the receiver and handguard give multiple mounting options for optics, lights, and other accessories. A 5+1 capacity and flip-up front and rear sights round out a package built for home defense, tactical training, or three-gun competition.
