Ewbank Russian Saiga 12 Conversion Quick Review with pictures
We had a chance to review and take pictures of a very cool shotgun.


|
|
These Saiga Shotguns are imported in a sporting configuration with no pistol grip and the triggers are moved back to accommodate the lack of pistol grip.

|
|
|
Converting the Saiga involves moving the trigger forward then installing the pistol grip

|
|
|
The Saiga 12 uses a detachable magazine. This one is a 5 round mag others are available in 10 rounds too

|
|
|
The sights on the Saiga 12 are on the gas tube. The short radius is very fast to acquire and easy to find when the shotgun is shouldered. there is also a scope mount rail on the receiver

|
|
|
At the end of the barrel is a muzzle nut protecting threads

|
|
|
This one also sports a Tapco AR style adjustable shoulder stock. While I am no fan of the 'look' this stock is very comfortable and the adjust meant is handy if you are wearing a vest or backpack |
|
|
The barrel is it's weakest part. It's long to abide with US laws. The question is: Is the saiga 12 worth the time & effort to SBS (short Barrel Shotgun)? For about $200 pus some gunsmithing this Saiga 12 could be made to look like this 'photo-chopped' version

Visitor Comments RE: Ewbank Russian Saiga 12 Conversion Rating: 5.00 out of 10 | Mon Oct 5 2009 7: 34 pm | | | I am surprised about the low rating on a Saiga 12 in any configuration. I have many shotguns and this is the only one that is still actually fun to shoot everytime. If you don't have one, buy one. The Mossbergs and 870 are kinda lonely now. | | | | | | | |
