'''MTs 21-12''' (sometimes spelled as '''MC 21-12'''; Russian '''МЦ 21-12''') is a Soviet/Russian semi auto shotgun. It was designed in [[KBP|TsKIB SOO]] and manufactured mostly by [[Tulsky Oruzheiny Zavod|TOZ]]; over 300,000 were produced. The first version, MTs 21, was produced in small numbers for less then a decade and chambered for 12, 16 and 20 gauge while main production version MTs 21-12 was chambered only for 12/70 cartridges.

The '''MTs 21-12''' (known as '''MC 21-12''' in export grade; Russian '''МЦ 21-12''') is a Soviet/Russian recoil operated semi-auto shotgun. It was designed by [[KBP|TsKIB SOO]] and manufactured mostly by [[Tulsky Oruzheiny Zavod|TOZ]]; over 300,000 were produced. In fact, there were two completely different variants of the MTs-21: order-made highest-quality from TsKIB, and serial production from TOZ. The first was distinguished by the highest quality of execution, and was available in various grades, with various furniture and safety selector variations. The second from TOZ was the exact opposite; being the cheapest semi-automatic shotgun in the USSR and Russia (especially compared to order-made and imported shotguns), it also had correspondingly low quality control at later stages of production and became known as an unreliable shotgun (at the same time, this actually varies greatly on different guns, from perfectly working to constantly wedging. Strictly speaking, this was a fairly common for inexpensive mass-produced post-war European semi-automatic shotguns, another example is the [[Manufrance Rapid|Manufrance Perfex]]). The TsKIB version of the MTs 21 was produced in small numbers from 1956 until at least the mid 1990s and was chambered for 12, 16 and 20 gauge (the last two calibers were available at least until 1965), while the main production TOZ version MTs 21-12 from 1965 was chambered only for 12/70 cartridges.

One of the interesting features of the MTs 21-12 is its "clock hand" safety selector (on order-made models it could be replaced with a conventional push-button one), which can be re-placed on any right or left side, for a right or left handed hand.

MTs 21-12 semi-automatic shotgun - 12 gauge

The MTs 21-12 (known as MC 21-12 in export grade; Russian МЦ 21-12) is a Soviet/Russian recoil operated semi-auto shotgun. It was designed by TsKIB SOO and manufactured mostly by TOZ; over 300,000 were produced. In fact, there were two completely different variants of the MTs-21: order-made highest-quality from TsKIB, and serial production from TOZ. The first was distinguished by the highest quality of execution, and was available in various grades, with various furniture and safety selector variations. The second from TOZ was the exact opposite; being the cheapest semi-automatic shotgun in the USSR and Russia (especially compared to order-made and imported shotguns), it also had correspondingly low quality control at later stages of production and became known as an unreliable shotgun (at the same time, this actually varies greatly on different guns, from perfectly working to constantly wedging. Strictly speaking, this was a fairly common for inexpensive mass-produced post-war European semi-automatic shotguns, another example is the Manufrance Perfex). The TsKIB version of the MTs 21 was produced in small numbers from 1956 until at least the mid 1990s and was chambered for 12, 16 and 20 gauge (the last two calibers were available at least until 1965), while the main production TOZ version MTs 21-12 from 1965 was chambered only for 12/70 cartridges.

One of the interesting features of the MTs 21-12 is its "clock hand" safety selector (on order-made models it could be replaced with a conventional push-button one), which can be re-placed on any right or left side, for a right or left handed hand.
