The MTs 7 (МЦ 7) is a family of Soviet and Russian double-barreled high-quality custom hunting shotguns, combination guns and rifles. [2] [3] [1]
The first version of MTs 7 (MTs 7-1) was designed in late 1950s by TsKIB SOO as target rifle for competition shooting, although later it was redesigned and since 1960 it was sold as high-quality hunting weapon. [2]
MTs 7 custom guns were among the most expensive of all hunting firearms made in USSR. [3]
In 1990s it was announced that new MTs 7-17 combination gun will be made. [5] However, due to the economic crisis in the Russian Federation, production of all versions of MTs 7 was greatly reduced.
