Description
The Akkar 812 Ladies Country 12 gauge takes a well-built engraved over/under and rebuilds the part that most shotguns get wrong: the stock. Catalogued as part number 121003, this 30-inch version keeps the glossy blued barrels, automatic ejectors and OxyCap receiver of the standard 812, but sets them behind stock dimensions designed from the outset to suit most women.
Fit Comes First on the Akkar 812 Ladies Country 12 Gauge
A shotgun is pointed with the whole body, so stock geometry decides whether you hit or miss far more than choke choice ever will. When length of pull is too long or the comb sits too low, a shooter compensates by stretching their neck or hunching a shoulder, and consistency collapses. This model was dimensioned rather than simply cut down, which means comb height, grip shape and length were all reconsidered together.
30-Inch Glossy Barrels with a 7mm Flat Rib
The 30-inch barrels give this version noticeably more swing momentum than the shorter model, which pays off on clays and longer crossing shots. A narrow 7mm flat rib keeps the sight picture clean and uncluttered rather than target-gun bulky, and the glossy blued finish matches the receiver. Overall length runs about 46 inches.
Automatic Ejectors, Tang Safety and Barrel Selector
Automatic ejectors kick empties clear for quick reloads, and the parts to convert them to plain extractors ship with the gun for shooters who save hulls. The tang safety includes an integrated barrel selector, so you can pick which barrel fires first with the thumb already resting there.
Five Extended Chokes and an Engraved OxyCap Receiver
Five extended Mobil-pattern choke tubes are included, spanning skeet, improved cylinder, modified and improved modified constrictions, so the gun is ready for clays or field work without buying anything extra. The engraved receiver wears a high-gloss, durable OxyCap finish that resists weather and gives the gun genuine visual appeal. A 3-inch chamber accepts standard and magnum shells, and a recoil pad caps the walnut.

Who Should Buy It
This makes sense for a shooter who has fought an ill-fitting field gun, for clays competitors who want the extra swing weight of a 30-inch barrel in a stock that actually fits, and for upland hunters who value a repeatable mount. The included choke set means it is match-ready the day it arrives.
Weigh the drawbacks carefully. Purpose-built stock dimensions help the shooters they were designed for and hinder everyone else, so a taller or long-armed shooter will find the length of pull cramped, and there is no adjustable comb to compensate. Twelve gauge recoil in a two-shot break gun is real, particularly with 3-inch magnums, so start with lighter target loads. Capacity is two rounds, there are no sling swivel studs, and the glossy finish shows fingerprints. Anyone recoil-sensitive should consider the 20 gauge Ladies Country instead.
When the fit is right, the Akkar 812 Ladies Country 12 gauge is an easy gun to shoot well. Browse more options in our firearms collection, or read the maker’s overview at Akkar USA.
