Derya RAN
The Derya RAN is a 12 gauge lever-action shotgun that combines the look and feel of classic lever-action design with modern engineering. Where traditional lever-action shotguns rely on a fixed tubular magazine, the RAN uses a detachable box magazine — enabling faster reloads and the ability to pre-load multiple magazines for rapid deployment. Manufactured by Derya Arms in Turkey, the RAN is available in standard and tactical configurations and chambers 2.75-inch and 3-inch 12 gauge loads.

RAN vs. Traditional Lever-Action Shotguns
Most lever-action shotguns — including the classic Winchester Model 1887 and modern reproductions — load through a tubular magazine that requires shells to be fed one at a time during reloading. The RAN's detachable box magazine holds multiple shells and swaps like a pistol or rifle magazine, making reloads significantly faster. This is particularly relevant for home defense and practical shooting applications where speed of reload matters. The lever action itself cycles smoothly and reliably, and the platform retains the mechanical simplicity that makes lever-actions appealing — fewer gas ports and springs to maintain compared to semi-auto designs.
RAN Standard vs. RAN Tactical
The RAN Standard features a traditional wood or synthetic stock in a classic lever-action profile, optimized for hunting and recreational shooting. The RAN Tactical adds a pistol grip stock, Picatinny rail for optics and accessories, and a more aggressive profile suited to home defense and practical competition. Both variants share the same detachable magazine system and lever-action mechanism. The tactical configuration is compatible with a wider range of aftermarket accessories given its rail system.
Ammunition Compatibility and Reliability
The RAN chambers standard 2.75-inch and 3-inch 12 gauge loads including birdshot, buckshot, and slugs. As a manually operated firearm, it cycles all standard-pressure loads without the minimum velocity requirements of inertia or gas-operated semi-automatics. This makes it a reliable option for shooters using a wide range of ammunition types. Derya backs the RAN with their standard manufacturer warranty.
