Description
The Tokarev TTF T300 MA1 12ga Nickel is a semi-automatic defensive shotgun from Tokarev USA with a nickel anodized receiver and barrel, a black synthetic stock and an 18.5-inch barrel (factory model 21000423).
Tokarev TTF T300 MA1 12ga Nickel Overview
Lipsey’s lists this model as the TTF T300A1 in nickel anodized; our store title uses T300MA1. Either way, the factory number and UPC match this listing. It has a 3-inch chamber, 5+1 capacity, a 38-inch overall length and a weight of about 6 pounds 1 ounce. Sights are an adjustable ghost ring rear on a Picatinny mount and a fiber optic front. A heat shield covers the barrel, the receiver is drilled and tapped, and cylinder, modified and full chokes come with it.
Semi-Auto Speed
Because the action cycles itself, follow-up shots are just a trigger press away, and the gun spreads recoil over a longer time than a pump. For many shooters that means faster, more accurate strings. The tradeoff is that a semi-auto needs ammunition with enough power to run the action. Expect light target loads to cause stoppages during break-in, and choose a defensive load that runs reliably in your gun.
Sights and Heat Shield
The adjustable ghost ring rear and fiber optic front make this a capable slug gun at typical shotgun distances. Zero the sights with the slug you plan to use. The ventilated heat shield protects your hand from a barrel that gets hot surprisingly fast during a training session. The rail under the rear sight lets you swap to a small red dot if you prefer.
Nickel Finish
The nickel anodized metal resists rust better than bare blued steel and makes fouling easy to spot. It is a good choice for a gun stored in a humid place. It does reflect light, so it is less suited to hunting, and the finish can scratch if you use abrasive cleaners. Wipe it with a lightly oiled cloth after handling.
Break-In and Cleaning
Run two or three boxes of full-power shells through the gun before judging it. Clean the gas system and bolt afterwards, since Turkish semi-autos often loosen up after a few hundred rounds. Keep the action lightly lubricated, but do not over-oil the gas piston, which attracts carbon.
Honest Value
You get a semi-auto with ghost ring sights and a heat shield for a fraction of the cost of a Benelli M4 or Beretta 1301. In exchange, aftermarket parts and accessories are limited, and fit and finish are basic. Tokarev sells a black version of the TTF as well, so pick the finish that suits how and where you will keep the gun.
State Laws and Ownership
Semi-automatic shotguns are restricted in some jurisdictions based on features or capacity, and hunting rules often require a magazine plug. Check your state and local laws before ordering.
