i just ordered a saiga 12..primarily because as far as shotguns go...this is a bad MOFO!!! i shot one at the range a few weeks ago and had to have one.

i have a few questions concerning shotgun legalities...i wanted to get a saiga and set it up similar to the saiga 12 K
( http://club.guns.ru/eng/sig12/2.htm )

I noticed that the civilian version is much similar to the saiga series rifles...the fire controll seams to be a bit farther back in the receiver and the barrel is much longer ( not sure what legal shotgun barrel size is)

I figured i could beat the expensive retrofit of moving the fire controll group by simply adding a "box" made of lite gauge metal to the back of the receiver and tig welding it all in place...i wanted to add a pistol grip and get a underfolder to mount on it...maybe if i went all out, i would take the thing to a gunsmith and have it cut down to the minum legal barrel length as well...so is any of what i want to do here legal? or should i forget the gun modification buisness and stick to collecting stamps???

See my reply to your other post. Convert it to the forward pistol grip, its REAL easy.

Someone installed an ACE folding stock on their Saiga-12 and installed a pistol grip directly to the ACE receiver adapter so they wouldn't have to move the fcg. I prefer a full conversion myself.
