Mersan Research is your premier destination for high-quality firearms and shooting equipment. Our brand is built on craftsmanship and passion spanning generations. Our story begins with a love for two legendary shotgun platforms — the iconic 870 pump-action and 1100 semi-automatic shotguns — and dates back to the 1960s, rooted in the deep Turkish firearms manufacturing tradition established after World War II.

Today, in our third generation, we combine classical gunsmithing with modern manufacturing technologies. What started as a workshop offering custom solutions only for 870 and 1100 models has transformed into a leading firearms manufacturer distinguished by customized production rifles.

Our founder Rıdvan İvacık is among the pioneers who introduced the concept of "project-based, custom-made rifles" to the Turkish defense industry — at a time when the sector was largely focused on mass production. Mersan Research continues to bring innovation to the global firearms community and push boundaries with strong business partnerships worldwide.
