European American Armory Corporation (EAA Corp.), importers of select quality and affordable handguns, rifles, and shotguns, has introduced the 512 Cowboy side-by-side shotgun.
Produced for EAA Corp. by Akkar, this new smoothbore is styled after the shotguns used by stagecoach drivers in the American West. Easy to maneuver, lightweight, and effective against marauding bandits, the “coach gun” became a staple defensive gun and iconic symbol of the Old West.
EAA Corp’s version is a modern adaption of this beloved gun and pays tribute to its place in history with a stagecoach engraved on its case colored steel receiver, the company noted in a news release. The shotgun features a set of 18.5” barrels, manual safety and extractor, bead sight, and mobile choke tubes. The forend and stock are made from select walnut and oil-rubbed to a fine finish enhancing the natural figuring of the wood. Its unsurpassed fit and finish make this side-by-side an excellent hunting or target shooting gun.
The gun is chambered for 12-gauge shells. Barrels are 18.5 inches and the overall length is 73.5 inches with a length-of-pull at 14.25 inches. It weighs 5 pounds. MSRP is $969.
