The MTs 20-01 (МЦ 20-01) is a Soviet bolt-action shotgun. [2] [1]
The lightweight hunting shotgun MTs 20 was designed in 1957-1960s in TsKIB SOO, although its serial production began at the Tulsky Oruzheiny Zavod. [2] [1] The first information and the first photograph of this new experimental lightweight hunting shotgun were published in August 1961. [5]
