Derya Max Announced: A New Performance Shotgun

Despite the brand name Derya still feeling new to most Americans, Derya has produced more magazine-fed shotguns than any other company for decades. The new Max model is gas operated and uses a new magazine design to get past some of the problems typical of magazine-fed shotguns. While the Derya Max looks to be designed for competitive shooting, it's been my experience that those competition guns also make for LOTS of fun on the range for us casual shooters. Availability is said to begin in September 2026.

As a former 3-Gunner I can appreciate the design cues in the Derya Max and how far advanced it is from my old Vepr 12 I used long ago. including the ability to run a brake AND chokes at the same time, slim handguard, and adjustable stock. See the introduction video below.
