Get them while they’re not illegal hot

And some gun porn.

Some future destructive devices, that is. Someone is making 19 round drums for Saiga shotguns. Everyone has pics and is blogging about them, including The Idiot’s Blog, Colt CCO, ExistingThing, and James.

In the past, the ATF has reclassified some shotguns with as destructive devices, which effectively makes them the legal equivalent of machine guns. These weapons were subject to NFA regulations. One such shotgun was the DAO-12 (or Street Sweeper). Here’s some history on the reclassification, which boils down to someone deciding that they were not generally recognized as particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes. Whatever that means, since it functions like any other semi-auto shotgun. I’ve known a few folks who use the Saiga to shoot trap and to hunt. And some folks use it in three gun competition.

I think the combination of the Saiga and these aftermarket magazines could have the effect of getting the Saiga reclassified. And, of course, the fact the Saiga is based on the Kalashnikov makes it even more scary.

    Hmmm. Looks like a Saiga 12 gauge just moved to the top of the “must get soon” list… Thank for the tip Unc…

    The Saiga Kalashnikow shotgun is yet another effective self-defense weapon which many of those in government want to deny to the people. YET the same government types are the ones who deliberately allow our nation to undergo a mass invasion which includes many additional criminals and criminal gangs for which a higher capacity semi-auto shotgun like the Saiga could be very useful for non-hunting and non-sporting reasons, should one be the recipient of their uninivited individual visits…such as a home invasion.

    I’ve used it to shoot trap. Works pretty well.

    Do those “accelerators” (a.k.a. gatling gun cranks), if attached to a Saiga-12, make it count as a destructive device?

    Once it becomes a DD, and is on the NFA list, you can shorten the barrel as much as you like … and you no longer have to worry about 922r issues.

    In fact … You could conceivably change the calibre.

    A 40mm conversion for a streetsweeper might be doable.

    Mine’s in 20ga., so I guess I’m ok for now, heh.

  7. Manish Says:

    You want me to buy a stolen gun?

  8. Kristopher Says:

    20 gauge is over .50 in size. If someone makes a bigger 20g Saiga mag, you are just as screwed.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
