Something about not enough gas pressure to cycle the bolt relyably. YOu might want to check into that more before you start cutting your barrels down. Me, I'm going for the Bullpuped Saiga12 as soon as my kit gets here.

Unburnt powder will be shot out of the barrel, while in a full length barrel that power would be converted into gas which would cause more recoil. This is why you have pistol like sawn off shotguns. I don't know about 20 guage but I know that the Saiga comes in .410. _Jon, my understanding, and I don’t handload ammo so don’t quote me on this, but the shorter barrel will have a lot less kick that a full barrel.

With that short of a barrel, I'd rather have less kick. And with that magazine, I can just keep firing. I wonder if they make it in a 20 gauge. With that short of a barrel, I’d rather have less kick.

I believe SBS's only need a $5 transfer tax instead of $200 on for SBR's...If you can find a licensed dealer to make one for you. wouldn’t this technically be an SBS (Short Barrel Shotgun) not an SBR?
