Frequently asked questions
Are Akkar shotguns good quality?
Akkar shotguns are manufactured to SAAMI and CIP standards, the same safety and performance benchmarks used by many established shotgun makers, and the company has close to 40 years of manufacturing experience. Reviews from firearms publications generally describe Akkar-built shotguns, including those sold under the Churchill name, as solid performers for their price range, with steel receivers, walnut or synthetic furniture, and features like extended choke tubes on many models. As with any shotgun purchase, fit, intended use, and personal preference play a large role in overall satisfaction.
Where are Akkar shotguns made?
Akkar shotguns are manufactured in Istanbul, Turkey, where the company has operated since 1985. Turkey has become a major hub for shotgun manufacturing over the past two decades, and Akkar is one of the more established Turkish firearm makers, exporting its Churchill and Altay series to more than 50 countries.
Who imports and distributes Akkar shotguns in the United States?
Akkar shotguns reach American buyers through two main channels. Akkar USA, a wholly owned subsidiary based in North Kansas City, Missouri, distributes shotguns directly under the Akkar USA name. Separately, European American Armory Corp (EAA Corp) imports and sells Akkar-manufactured shotguns under the Churchill brand name. Akkar shotguns have also been imported historically by KBI, Samco Global Arms, and CZ-USA.
What is the difference between Akkar and Churchill shotguns?
Churchill is a brand name used by European American Armory Corp for shotguns manufactured by Akkar in Turkey. In other words, a Churchill shotgun sold by EAA Corp is an Akkar-built firearm marketed under a different name for U.S. distribution. Akkar USA, by contrast, sells shotguns directly under the Akkar name and its own model lines, such as High Noon and Open Country.
What gauges and configurations do Akkar shotguns come in?
Akkar produces shotguns in 12, 20, and 28 gauge, as well as .410 bore, across multiple action types, including pump-action, semi-automatic, over/under, side-by-side, and triple-barrel designs. This range allows buyers to find a shotgun suited to upland hunting, waterfowl, turkey hunting, sporting clays, trap, skeet, or home defense.
How much does an Akkar shotgun cost?
Akkar shotguns are generally positioned as an affordable alternative to premium European and American shotgun brands, with many models priced well under $1,000 and select side-by-side or specialty models running higher depending on finish and features. Exact pricing varies by retailer, model, gauge, and configuration, so buyers should check current listings from authorized Akkar USA dealers or EAA Corp retailers for up-to-date pricing.
About
Akkar is a Turkish firearms manufacturer that designs and produces shotguns for hunting, sport shooting, and tactical applications. The company operates out of Istanbul and holds 14 registered trademarks covering its shotgun lines, including the well-known Churchill and Mammut series. Akkar's catalog spans pump-action, semi-automatic, over/under, side-by-side, and triple-barrel configurations, giving buyers a shotgun option for nearly every type of shooting, from dove hunting to home protection.
What sets Akkar apart in a crowded shotgun market is its focus on practical, field-tested engineering rather than chasing trends. Every model is manufactured to meet SAAMI and CIP standards, which means each shotgun is built to handle modern steel shot loads safely and consistently. This combination of established manufacturing standards and affordable pricing has made Akkar shotguns a common choice for hunters and shooters looking for value without giving up build quality.
In the United States, the brand operates through Akkar USA, a wholly owned subsidiary based in North Kansas City, Missouri, that handles distribution, warranty support, and customer service for American buyers. Akkar shotguns have also been imported historically under private-label agreements with companies such as European American Armory (EAA Corp), which sells select Akkar-built shotguns under the Churchill name.
