Akkar Churchill 612

About the Akkar Churchill 612

The Akkar Churchill 612 is a Turkish pump-action shotgun chambered in 12 gauge with a 3-inch magnum chamber. Built around a lightweight aluminum receiver with a steel barrel, polymer stock, fore-end, and trigger housing, it feeds from a tubular magazine holding five rounds. Offered in hunting, combo, and home-defense/tactical configurations, the tactical model adds a pistol grip, Picatinny receiver rail, ghost-ring sights, and a breacher choke. The same gun was previously sold in the United States by CZ-USA as the CZ 612.

Akkar became the first Turkish company to produce pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns, starting in 1992, and within a decade was exporting tens of thousands of guns a year; the Churchill 612 reached American buyers under two different brand names, first as the CZ 612 and later as the EAA Churchill 612.
