Description

Rock Island TK105 Traditional 20 Gauge Single Shot Shotgun

The Rock Island TK105 Traditional 20 Gauge Single Shot is a classic break-open shotgun built for hunters and shooters who value simplicity, reliability, and old-school craftsmanship. This single-barrel design pairs a 20-inch black parkerized barrel with a 3-inch chamber, giving shooters the flexibility to run a wide range of 20 gauge loads for upland birds, turkey, or slug-based hunting applications. Its straightforward break-open action means fewer moving parts, less maintenance, and dependable cycling every time the action is opened and closed in the field, making it an ideal companion for new and experienced hunters alike.

Weighing approximately 5 pounds with an overall length of 36.61 inches, this shotgun is light enough to carry all day without sacrificing the balance and pointability hunters expect from a traditional single-shot design. The steel receiver pairs with a contoured barrel finished in a durable black parkerized coating that resists corrosion and wear, while silver anodized metal accents create a distinctive two-tone look that sets this shotgun apart from ordinary single-shots on the rack. A fixed woodgrain-finish synthetic stock rounds out the package, offering the classic look of wood with the low-maintenance durability of modern synthetic furniture.

Key Features and Benefits

The break-open action at the heart of this shotgun is prized for its mechanical simplicity and long-term reliability. With far fewer components than a pump or semi-automatic shotgun, there is less to clean, less to lubricate, and less that can eventually wear out or malfunction in the field. The hammer-fired design gives shooters a tactile, visual, and audible confirmation that the gun is ready to fire, which is especially valuable for new shooters learning proper firearm handling. Opening the action to load or unload is fast and intuitive, and the exposed hammer makes it easy to verify the shotgun’s status at a glance.

Comfort and control come from the fixed woodgrain-finish synthetic stock, which delivers the classic aesthetic of a traditional wood-stocked shotgun without the weight, cost, or maintenance concerns that come with genuine walnut. The synthetic build resists moisture, temperature swings, and the everyday bumps and scratches of hard field use, so the stock keeps its looks season after season. Configured for a right-hand shooter, the stock geometry helps the shotgun mount naturally to the cheek and shoulder, promoting a consistent sight picture on target. At roughly 5 pounds and just over 36 inches overall, the balance stays neutral, so quick target acquisition never feels like a fight against the gun’s weight.

Up top, the adjustable ghost ring sight system gives shooters a fast, intuitive sight picture that works well for slug shooting, turkey hunting, or dedicated slug-load practice, while still allowing precise elevation and windage adjustments to zero the shotgun to a specific load. The barrel’s slug-configured choke makes this shotgun particularly well suited to shooters who want a dedicated slug gun for deer season or backup duty. A traditional hammer safety gives the shooter direct, mechanical control over the gun’s readiness state, with no reliance on cross-bolt buttons or tang levers that can be bumped inadvertently. Combined with the 3-inch chamber, this shotgun handles everything from light target loads to heavy magnum slug loads.
