Akdal MKA 1919 semi-automatic shotgun is the new product from Turkish company Akdal Arms. This weapon is intended for civilian and security use, and mimics the famous M16 rifle in its layout and placement of most controls. It is remarkably light for its caliber and size, because of extensive use of modern, high strength plastics.

Akdal MKA 1919 semi-automatic shotgun utilizes conventional gas-operated action with annual (ring-type) gas piston, which is located around the support tube that runs below the barrel. Return spring is also located around the same tube, which is concealed by enlarged polymer handguards. Barrel is quick-removable from upper receiver, barrel locking is achieved by tilting locking piece inside the bolt, which engages the barrel extension. Charging handle is attached to the bolt and projects on the right side of the receiver. The upper receiver is manufactured from aluminum alloy; lower receiver, along with pistol grip and shoulder stock, is manufactured as one piece from impact-resistant polymer. Akdal MKA 1919 semi-automatic shotgun utilizes detachable box magazines, each holding 5 rounds; an M16-style bolt stop and bolt release button are incorporated into the lower receiver. Manual safety also duplicates M16-style, being located on the left side of the receiver, above the pistol grip. Standard sights include front post, installed on the M16-style removable base, and a detachable M16A2-style carrying handle with built-in diopter sight. Top of the upper receiver is shaped to provide integral Picatinny rail, which will accept detachable carrying handle or optional red-dot or other optical sight.

I wish companies would lay off of Eugene Stoner's design and develop their own platforms that will distinguish them from their competitors.

I'd not expect innovation from Turkey but on quality i can trust. Stoner's design is impractical as well. M16 design for a shotgun only makes it bulky, length and ugly.

There is sh.tload of private small arms companies producing such stuff in Turkey, nothing to be taken seriously, they're more about private owning rather then military, military would not even consider most of their stuff.

MKE is manufacturing good ammunition and from what I hear quality firearms. I know that they supply Turkish military with ammunition but not sure if Turkish military procures firearms from their c

You can buy high quality Turkish made guns if you can pay more.

Probably the only thing they have done good so far is the MPT-76 which's the new assault rifle adopted by the military. MPT-76 will be the standard service rifle of the Turkish Armed Forces by the end of 2014.
Finally!
