The shotgun was designed in 1986–1988 in TsKIB SOO[3] as new standard semi-automatic hunting shotgun, which was supposed to replace previous models MTs 21-12 and TOZ-87.[2]
In October 1987, the first TTs 22 shotgun was shown at VDNKh exhibition in Moscow.[1]
In 1987-1988 first two prototypes were made (serial number 0001 and serial number 0002). In 1989, they successfully passed all tests and trials. After that, the state commission ordered to begin production of this model.[2]
All drawings, schemes and other necessary technical documents were sent from Tula to Uralsk machine-building plant "Metallist" (in Uralsk, Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic).
However, after the fall of the Soviet Union Kazakhstan became an independent state. Due to the economic crisis in the 1990s the plant had problems.[4]
