About the Derya MAX
The Derya MAX is a magazine-fed, gas-operated semi-automatic 12-gauge competition shotgun launched in August 2026 and built at Derya's Jacksonville, Florida plant. A curved self-cleaning gas piston cycles everything from 7/8-ounce target loads to 3-inch magnums, and the gun carries an adjustable stock with 12- to 15-inch length of pull, an AR-compatible pistol grip, a threaded smoothbore barrel, flip-up irons and a full-length Picatinny rail. It weighs about 9.5 pounds.
Derya built its reputation in Turkey supplying budget shotguns under other companies' names; the MAX is the first gun the firm has built on American soil under its own.
