Saiga 12 questions

[Moonshine]

I will probably mostly use this shotgun for sporting so I have a few questions for you Saiga experts:

1. If no evil features are present can the detachable mag be used?

2. What is the longest barrel it comes with?

Thank you!

1. No - All semi box fed shotguns in cali need a mag locl

2. 21 inch. Most common are the 19 with a threaded barrel .

So basically a smooth bore Saiga meant to be a sporting rifle that could be used as a very reliable hunting gun is an "assault weapon" here. I thought the second amendment was about hunting LOL! Jus kidding !

It's only because it is boxfed, a Benelli M4 is fine with a pistol grip and no flash hider.

Deatachable magazines are restricted feature on semi-auto shotguns. [PC 30515(a)(7)]
Which is why all semi-auto shotguns that use detachable magazines must have a maglock in order to be CA legal.


Penal Code 30515
(a) Notwithstanding Section 30510, "assault weapon" also means any of the following:
(6) A semiautomatic shotgun that has both of the following:
(A) A folding or telescoping stock.
(B) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon, thumbhole stock, or vertical handgrip.
(7) A semiautomatic shotgun that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine.
(8) Any shotgun with a revolving cylinder.

If you hunt with a shotgun you can only have 2 in the mag/tube and 1 in the chamber. So if you use it for hunting, make sure to find and use a 2round magazine (if any).

If there arent any, you can probably contact solar tactical and have them make you one. No biggy.

Also if you look around, they have choke adapters for the Saiga, so you can use Winchester or Remington chokes i think.

I want to do the same but then i thought it would be too much hassel to use the maglock for only 2 rounds. I can probably reload my single shot 20gauge faster.
