Availability of drum mags for Saiga 12 ga. autoloa

[reef1235]

I recently bought a Saiga 12 ga. autoloader , brand new $300, great buy on an autoloading shotgun I think, shoots great , never jams, chamberd for 3' mag, It only came with 5 round detachable mags though, I would love to find out if there are drum mags available for it.

no drums for the SAIGA shotguns. If there were any Hi Capacity mags available for any of the Saigas they would'nt have been able to import'm as sporting rifles. There were'nt many drums made for any shotguns. The old Street Sweepers took drums, but after the BATF declared they had to be registered, parts dried up quickly after that. You'll have to do some reading up on the regulations, but there is'nt a lot you can do to the Saiga shotguns, like you can to the Saiga rifles. Shotguns have different regulations compared to rifles. There are some restricted L.E.O and Military SAIGA 12 ga. entry guns that look sweet.

Any autoloading shotgun that takes a detachable mag is limited to 5 rd capacity. Any shotgun with greater capacity (like the USAS) is considered a Destructive Device by ATF regs and has to be registered and the $200 tax paid. :angry:
