The Tokarev TAR 12MP is a 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun built for shooters who want AR-platform ergonomics and modularity in a fighting shotgun. With an 18.5" barrel and 3" chamber, it handles standard and magnum loads alike, making it versatile for home defense, tactical training, or sport shooting. The nickel marine finish resists corrosion in harsh environments, while the gas-operated system delivers reliable cycling across a range of ammunition types.
What sets the TAR 12MP apart is its AR-style controls and ergonomics: ambidextrous safety lever, M1913 optics rail for mounting red dots or magnified optics, and lightweight polymer folding sights for backup aiming. The 5-round detachable box magazine comes standard, and larger-capacity options (10-round and 20-round drum magazines) are available separately. The included choke tube kit provides Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder tubes plus a wrench, letting you fine-tune your shot spread from tight patterns to open dispersal—Benelli/Mobil pattern compatibility means aftermarket options abound.
The 4140 proof-tested barrel meets rigorous safety standards, and the shotgun ships with an owner's manual to get you started. Whether you're running drills at the range, setting up a home defense rig, or building a semi-auto shotgun platform, the TAR 12MP delivers functional, no-frills performance at a straightforward value.
