Description
The Akkar 836 Open Country .410 is a clean, unfussy Turkish walnut over/under built for people who want a real double gun in the smallest popular bore. Catalogued as part number 124001, it hangs 28-inch high-gloss blued barrels under a slim 7mm flat rib, adds automatic ejectors and five extended chokes, and finishes the receiver in durable high-gloss OxyCap.
What the Akkar 836 Open Country .410 Is Good At
A .410 double is one of the most pleasant guns in shotgunning to carry and shoot. Recoil is barely noticeable, the gun is light in the hands over a long day, and the break action makes the gun’s condition obvious to everyone in the field. Add two independently choked barrels and you have a squirrel, rabbit and close-cover bird gun that flatters careful shooting.
28-Inch Glossy Barrels with a 7mm Flat Rib
The barrels measure 28 inches and wear a deep high-gloss blue. A narrow 7mm flat rib keeps the sighting plane clean and slim rather than target-gun bulky, which suits a field gun. Overall length runs about 45 inches, so the shotgun stays maneuverable in thick cover while still swinging smoothly.
Automatic Ejectors, Tang Safety and Barrel Selector
Automatic ejectors throw hulls clear for fast reloads, and the parts to convert them to plain extractors are supplied for anyone who saves brass-head shells to reload. A tang-mounted manual safety with an integrated barrel selector sits under your thumb, so you can choose the first barrel without breaking your grip.
Five Extended Chokes and Turkish Walnut
Five extended Mobil-style choke tubes are included, covering skeet, improved cylinder, modified and improved modified constrictions, which lets you open the bottom barrel for a close flush and tighten the top for the follow-up. The stock is standard-grade Turkish walnut with checkering and a recoil pad, and the chamber accepts shells up to 3 inches for a little extra payload when you need it.
Handling and Balance
Because the .410 barrels are slim, the Akkar 836 Open Country .410 carries much of its modest weight between the hands rather than out at the muzzle. That balance point makes the gun feel alive and responsive when a squirrel breaks cover or a quail flushes underfoot, and it is a large part of why shooters who try a .410 double rarely want to give it back.

Who Should Buy It
Choose this if you want a light walnut double for squirrel and rabbit hunting, sub-gauge skeet, or teaching a new shooter break-action discipline without recoil getting in the way. Older shooters who have grown tired of heavier gauges will also appreciate how easy it is to carry and shoot all afternoon.
Understand what a .410 gives up. The shot charge is small, so patterns thin out quickly and the gun punishes sloppy leads. It is the wrong tool for waterfowl, turkeys or anything at distance. Ammunition costs more per shell than 12 or 20 gauge and can be hard to find outside larger stores. Capacity is two rounds, there are no sling swivel studs from the factory, and the high-gloss finish will show fingerprints and brush marks over a season.
Within those limits, the Akkar 836 Open Country .410 is genuinely enjoyable to own. Browse more options in our firearms collection, or read the maker’s overview at Akkar USA.
