History
History
The lightweight hunting shotgun MTs 20 was designed in 1957-1960s in TsKIB SOO, although its serial production began at the Tulsky Oruzheiny Zavod. The first information and the first photograph of this new experimental lightweight hunting shotgun were published in August 1961. In the summer of 1969, the production of 28 and 32 gauge variants of the MTs 20 was announced. In 1979, the first model was replaced by the second model (MTs 20-01). In 1988 - 1989, the price of one standard MTs 20-01 was 170 roubles. In early 1990s new compact variants were designed (MTs 20-04, MTs 20-08 and MTs 20-09). After the fall of the Soviet Union due to the economic crisis in Russian Federation in the 1990s, the prices of firearms increased. In September 1994, the cost of one new standard serial MTs 20-01 shotgun was from 200 thousand roubles to 220 thousand roubles.
