Wish my Mossberg had that... take the BBL/Stock off and have a nice compact storage method....

Just thought you guys would like to see this. Pretty neat huh?

Where does proper parts count come from on this set up? Not going to happen without a lot of custom work. All that Shotty shows is a US pistol grip. You can't use US FCG due to the sporter trigger setup, and a gas piston must be cutsom made as well. So, if you make a gas piston, there are 2 parts including the pistol grip. Floor plate and follower? OK, 2 more, but again, must be custom made as no one makes them for the Saigas.


After all the pain in the ass work to get it compliant, you end up with a half ass way of getting a less controllable shotgun than you would if you took another hour or two and did a proper conversion to it.

Not baggin on you man for posting it, I just see to many flaws with it.

Actually that's an optional Made-in-Russia Saiga factory grip. Note the sidefolder trunnion on both.

It looks like a much more usable configuration than a mossberg with a pistol grip. Even though the gas system tames recoil on the Saiga 12 it would still be a handful.

If my memory serves me correctly, Chris Butler at AK-USA had a few of the pistol grips for sell at one time, but they have long since been removed from his website. AKATTACK

Chris at AK-USA is looooong since out of them. I tried to buy one well over a year ago. Missed the last one by 2 days. Ace Ltd is listed as making a SAW grip version that is somewhat similar but it still leaves you with the problem of getting enough parts to stay legal.

Well, you could always make your own grip using the parts from a folding stock and a USA AK grip, or an AR grip... I just thought it was neat how it clipped on and off w/the folding trunnion like that. Pretty good use of existing parts.

You could make a couple, one w/a PG/Stock together, one w/a standard shotgun style stock, and another w/just a PG...

worthless but cool.
