My bro's new shotty
Well, he's been talking about buying one of these, so I got it for him as an early birthday gift. It's a Saiga-12. And it's awesome. The only thing I'm not in love with is the color of the furniture and the stock--how will this stock hold up to repeated firing?
And he's pretty damn happy with it:
Can't wait to get it out onto the range!!
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!

You area a good brother man! Seriously!
I've got a Tapco stock on my SAR 3- it's tough enough to drop and slap around it should be able to soak up some 12 GA recoil.
That's good to hear, matshock. And thanks, guys.
Also, quick question, how do I know if this thing is converted? A guy on another forum told me it wasn't, and I'll admit that I know nothing of the process, so I'm in the dark here.
It's not- the trigger is way too far to the rear. Conversion is primarily about moving the trigger to the traditional location, right up against the mag release.Originally Posted by RCS
Tapco just made a pistol grip for un-converted Saigas.
So do I have an issue with the magazine capacity now, or what? (Can it be more than 5 rounds?)
Technically, no- Saiga 8 rounders and AGP 10 rounders should work fine.
Check your local laws though.
Some folks custom make big drums for them- but some need to modify the magwell for them to work.
My local laws are really good about these sorts of things, and I appreciate the help. This whole Saiga conversion thing, along with having compliant parts, makes my head spin sometimes.
