S12, 7.5" ace skeleton stock, HK sights w/tritium inserts, poly choke perm attached to shortened barrel to make it justa tad over 18", Romy g, trigger guard w/custom mag lock. Total OAL is 35 3/4".

Many thanks to my friend Gozuki. Without his help, I would still have a stock S12.

looks great, how long did it take? and what bullet button is that?

Very nice, congrats!

Looks good! How did your weld on the HK sights and how did the welds turn out?

Took a few weeks working on it very part time. I mostly assisted while my friend did the brunt of the work, when our schedules allowed. Bullet button is custom creation by my friend.

The rear sight is migged with plug welds through the bottom of the dust cover, front was migged then smoothed. I'll try to get close ups.

i thought OAL on shotguns had to be 26in? i could be wrong though.

i thought OAL on shotguns had to be 26in? i could be wrong though.correct, the minimum allowable OAL on a shotgun is 26" in its shortest fireable position. OP said that OAL was 35+".

Wow, thats looks great! Nice job :thumbsup:

I MIGed mine also. wanted to TIG but don't have any friends with a TIG :(

I was freaked as all get out about the front sight. Was worried that the gas system would get warped and the puck wouldn't work. It must be okay cause it runs great. I should have cut more of the radius off as the sight ended up sitting a hair high.

I didn't think the rear welds through properly and just ran a bead down the sides. Of course I then had to use a die grinder and a dremel to get it all smoothed out. Dohhh!!! Oh well, next one will look nicer.

So how did you guys shorten the bbl w/o having an SBS on your hands for a while?

[emilio]

how does the BB work? it looks like a little box around the mag release, so i imagine there's a hole too small for a finger to get in such that you need a bullet tip or screwdriver to hit the paddle?

nice work!

The one on the right is for an out of state 07 who is doing a supressed SBS saiga 12.

From left to right, these will be: a .22 upper 6" supressed SBR AR, (QTY2) .223 10.5" suppressed SBR ARs, a suppressed Beretta 9mm, (QTY 2) SBR suppressed GSGs, a P22, and the S12. All out of state customers, of course.
