Saiga 12 conversion
« on: October 07, 2024, 08:31:32 AM »
I want to share my first converted shotgun, a Saiga 12. The main modification is the addition of a left-hand charging handle and several performance US-made parts.

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead. It is difficult only for the others. It is the same when you are stupid.

Very nice!  I picked up a 20" Saiga rifle when they were actually cheap, and then another one and a 16" one when they weren't cheap anymore but still not exorbitant.  I've only converted the first one but have plans (and parts) to do the other two as well.  I really wish I'd picked up a shotgun too while I was at it, now they're way out of my range.

This conversion was made a long time ago, and after I completed it, I lost interest in making further modifications.
So, I have no idea :)

There was a good deal recently on the Florida Gun Trader website in Jacksonville for a Saiga 12. The seller was asking $500 or the best offer (OBO). However, I skipped it because the deal seemed too good to be true.
