Charles Daly Model 512 Field 12 Gauge Side-by-Side Shotgun, 28" Chrome-Lined Barrels, Rem Chokes, 3" Chamber
Built in 2023 by Akkar in Turkey for the revived Charles Daly line, the Model 512 Field delivers classic side-by-side handling with modern features. Its 28" chrome-lined barrels accept interchangeable Rem-pattern chokes and are rated for 3" steel or tungsten loads, while the steel receiver is intentionally left in-the-white for easy custom engraving. A single-selective mechanical trigger, manual tang safety, and checkered walnut furniture round out a package that is uncommon in today’s budget SxS market yet ready for hard field use.

The Model 512 Field pairs traditional double-gun aesthetics with practical upgrades. The chrome-lined bores simplify cleaning and resist corrosion, extending barrel life even with modern non-toxic shot.
Its single-selective mechanical trigger allows quick choice of barrel order without relying on recoil to reset—an advantage for both hunting and clays. The manual tang safety is intuitive and stays exactly where you set it.
Walnut stock and beavertail forend provide a solid 14" length of pull. Fine checkering and a black recoil pad give a secure, comfortable shoulder fit during long days afield.
