Well, after debating between 12 and 20 gauge, I ended up buying a Saiga S12. I picked it up this week and took it to the range on Saturday. I ran about 25 rounds of target loads through it with no problems whatsoever.
I got all the parts in and converted it to the AK-style over the weekend (and yes, everything is 922R compliant). Here are the before and after pics:
I still need to add a ghost ring sight (Kreb's Custom) and a sling. For now I have the low-rise scope mount to accept my EoTech Holosight. I also have a PolyChoke on order that should be here on Tuesday. Once I get that, I'll spend some time patterning some different loads to see what I've got.
I'm pretty happy with my new Russian toy!
