80% Shotgun Receiver Set by Logic Industries
You probably know that there are 80% AR-15 lower receivers and Glock frames. But did you know that there is a company called Logic Industries that makes an 80% shotgun receiver? Even if you know about this company, then the good news for you is that their 80% receiver set is now available for preorder.
Let’s see how Logic Industries describes this product:
The CS12-80 is a hybrid combat shotgun which combines the rugged reliability of the Mossberg 500 12ga pump action with the ergonomic controls and ease of handling of the AR-15.
Our receiver kits are compatible with all lengths of current production Mossberg 500 & 590 Shockwave magazine tubes and barrels.
Some or all older production Mossberg 500 and 590 or even Maverick 88 parts kits may work as well, but have not been tested and are thus NOT guaranteed to fit or operate properly.
And yes, since it will have never been a shotgun before you get it, you could use this receiver set to build a “firearm” using a 14″ Shockwave barrel and an AR15 buffer tube mounted arm brace.
Logic Industries CS12-80 80% receiver set is a two-piece design consisting of the upper and lower parts. The upper receiver features a monolithic top Picatinny rail. The lower receiver is compatible with AR-15 pistol grips, buffer tube and mil-spec trigger mechanism. There is also an ambidextrous bolt lock/release lever on the lower receiver.
According to Logic industries, in order to complete this receiver set, you’ll need to machine the two sets of denial islands inside the upper receiver, the fire control group compartment in the lower receiver, trigger, hammer pin holes and the safety selector hole, bolt lock hole and lastly, the takedown pin holes must be enlarged after all the mentioned operations. You can learn more about other features of this receiver as well as procedures required to complete it by watching the video embedded below.
As mentioned in the first paragraph of this article, the Logic Industries CS12-80 80% shotgun receiver set is now available for preorder at an MSRP of $450. Below you can find the list of parts that come with this receiver set and those that need to be purchased separately to complete the build.

For the price, I would much rather see a SPAS-analogue receiver.
i.e. “Scavenger Hunt”...
