Since 1948...

Huğlu’s own, “Ömer Akdaş“, the founder of AKDAŞ Firearms Inc., learned all the intricacies of manufacturing and repairing hand-crafted and single-barrel shotguns from the masters of his time and, in 1948, opened his own shotgun workshop. Akdaş, who gained recognition with his craftsmanship, is the chief master who realized the production of the first Turkish-made double-barrel shotgun. Known and appreciated by Turkish hunters during his time, Akdaş played a significant role in raising the quality standards of the industry and in the production of new models over time.

In 1987, with the participation of “Selim AKDAŞ,” the workshop transitioned from traditional craftsmanship to modern industrial production methods, expanding the machinery infrastructure. With this potential, in addition to shotguns, spare parts were also produced for industries such as defense and textiles.
