Where’s the advantage of the $2400 SRM over the $1000 Saiga? I don’t see it. With the SRM, you get 16 rounds, but only 4 at a time then you have to manually revolve the 4-tube magazine, reloads for which are very bulky compared to the Saiga.
No< I don't see any advantage to the SRM, and there is a huge cost disadvantage right away.
The best hi-cap shotgun made is long gone. It was the military stockade-guard's gun, looked like a Thompson SMG (might have been an adaptation of one), and took a stick magazine of 12-15 rounds or so. It was a SBS, so not transferable, and to my knowledge, none were ever sold as surplus.
If they could get the mag tubes on the SRM to auto-rotate when empty, and drop the price down to around $1K, it would be an alternative to the Saiga worth considering. As it is, though, it’s a design and price-point failure.
