The TOZ-106 is a small, lightweight bolt-action shotgun produced and sold by Tulsky Oruzheiny Zavod. It features a metal stock that folds underneath the weapon in order to make it more compact, and a pistol grip. The rest of the stock is wooden. This shotgun was officially marketed as a hunting shotgun, but became popular among farmers, adventurers, travelers, campers, truck drivers and other people who needed a self-defense weapon for use in the countryside or wilderness. It received a lukewarm welcome among hunters, though it is somewhat popular for finishing wounded game.
