Notes

Weight and overall length are typical values for the 71 cm (28 in) barrelled 12-gauge configuration. Huglu also offers closely related side-by-side models in the 200 series (e.g. the 200AC), which have been sold in smaller bores and 2.5-inch chambered configurations; specifications vary by market and importer.

Background

Huglu takes its name from the small mountain village in Turkey's Konya province where the gunmaking cooperative was founded in 1962, and where hundreds of local craftsmen still hand-engrave and finish its shotguns.
