POTD: Custom Saiga 12 Shotgun

Bennett sent in these photos of his custom Saiga 12 shotgun.

It still needs a bolt polished or the ports drilled so It will run light loads But I’m pretty happy with how it came out.

A Saiga-12 in this type of configuration has been on my wish list for a long time. Sadly, with the embargo on Kalashnikov manufactured firearms, we are going to see less and less of them.

Submit photos you have taken to TFB’s Photo Of The Day.

    What is the barrel length? It seems like it would make a good SBS.

      @iksnilol It's an 18" barrel if I remember correctly

    My Saiga is nearly the same as this one, right down to the heavy trigger guard.
    I did go wit the Krebs sights and BHO lever, as my LRBHO as screwing with the feeding of shells. I do have my FCG polished and it makes this shotgun a winner.
