The Chiappa Triple Crown or Mammut is a family of Turkish-made [1] triple-barrel, break-action shotguns, chambered in 12-gauge, 20-gauge, 28-gauge, and .410 bore. The barrels have a triangular arrangement with one on top and two below. This gives the shotgun a single-barrel sight picture. Manufactured by Akkar and marketed by the company as the Mammut [2] , they are more widely known as the Triple Crown and Triple Threat when branded by Chiappa.
The Triple Crown shotguns are triple-barrel, break-action shotguns, chambered in 12-, 20-, 28-gauge, and .410 bore. [3] [4] The 12-, 20-gauge, and .410 bore models will accept 3-inch magnum shells and the 28-gauge model will accept 2-3/4-inch shells. The 12-gauge model has 28-inch barrels, while all of the other models have 26-inch barrels. [5] The barrels have a triangular arrangement with one on top and two below. This gives the Triple Crown a single-barrel sight picture. The barrels accept standard Rem-Choke style choke tubes and it comes with 5 choke tubes ranging from Improved Cylinder to Full Choke. [6] It uses a single trigger and has a manual safety on the tang behind the action lever. The Triple Crown may be disassembled for ease of storage.
The Triple Threat shotguns are the shorter 18-½-inch models chambered in both 12-, 20-gauge, and .410-bore 3-inch magnums. [7] [8] They feature a unique two-piece removable butt-stock design allowing them to be shortened to an overall length of 27-¾ inches. [9]
The Triple Threat BLK comes in a 12-gauge 3-inch chamber only. It features Picatinny rails on the top barrel and below the bottom barrels. [10] This allows for this model to use a wide range of optical sights and tac-lights. It also features black plastic furniture. However, unlike the basic model, the BLK uses a standard butt-stock that cannot be shortened.
