Fri. Jan 26, 2007
Here is a quick review with pictures of the Saiga 12 from Arms of America converted by Ewbank Mfg to have an AK47 pistol grip and stock

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.

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

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

Let us know, use the feedback form to request larger pictures.

It's a lot more work to load all the large pictures.
We are happy to do it if they are requested, but if not we leave them small to save time

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.
