Hello THR members!
I've read this board off and on for awhile, but today I finally decided to register and let my ignorance be heard!
I currently own two shotguns: my old '95 model Winchester 1300, (26" barrel, 5-round mag), and the gun I like better than any other I own; the Russian beast: my Saiga-12, (19" threaded barrel, removable mags of various capacities).
I admit that I may be a bit biased, but I love my S-12. Imo it's the most capable and effective combat shotgun available to civilians period.
Of course I've restored my S-12, i.e. given it a proper pistol grip with a proper AK trigger group, AK trigger guard, internal receiver block, folding stock, Polychoke II, Krebs combat S-12 peep sights, etc, etc, etc... I've spent significantly more on aftermarket parts and mags than the stock gun cost, and I don't regret it.
As I said, my S-12 is my favorite gun, hands down. There's just something about dumping 12 rounds of 12-gauge shells in a couple seconds that can't help but put a big ole smile on my face.
Now, my question... who else here also owns and knows the beauty of Saiga-12's? I'm looking for some kindred spirits here.
