The civilian version of the KS-23 is the ТОZ-123 Selezen'-4 ("Drake-4") (ТОЗ-123 «Селезень-4»). It is manufactured by Tulsky Oruzheiny Zavod and features a smoothbore design, making it more similar to a traditional shotgun, and is chambered in standard 4 gauge.

The next ...

This would imply a bore diameter of 1.052-inch (26.7 mm), however in practice the bore diameter varied greatly as, in ...
The Model 1208 is also a short-barreled variant of the Model 1216. Its barrel length is 10", its overall length is 24 1/2", and its magazine can hold 8 rounds (4 x 2 shells). The Model 1208 also has a barrel shorter than 18 and is therefore also regulated by the NFA as a short-barreled shotgun.

[4] During the 1950s, Boito met Elias Ruas Amantino, a local businessman who proposed a special partnership to establish the E.R. Amantino & Cia Ltda. , a local company focused on ...
The early 20 gauge Model 12 guns had chambers that were 2½", and the 16 gauge Model 12s were chambered for a 2 9/16-inch shotgun shell. To add further confusion, some of these early Model 12s have subsequently been modified, with their chambers lengthened to accept 2¾-inch shotgun shells, while others remain in their factory-stock chamber ...
