About the ATA SP
The ATA SP is an over-under, break-action shotgun chambered in 12 gauge and produced by the Turkish manufacturer ATA Arms. Built around a boxlock action with a single selective mechanical trigger and automatic ejectors, it is offered with either a standard steel or a lightweight aluminium-alloy receiver and is fitted with Turkish walnut stocks, a ventilated rib, a fiber-optic front bead and interchangeable choke tubes. Marketed for hunting and clay-target disciplines, the SP is positioned as an affordable alternative to comparable Italian and Belgian over-unders.
ATA Arms grew out of a Turkish gunmaking tradition centred on the city of Istanbul, and its SP over-under became one of the company's export staples, sold in the United States through EAA as a budget-priced sporting and field gun.
