This is a do it yourself Saiga 410 with the $60 Tapco stock and a 15 rd $45 mag.
Note the trigger group sits back like 3” from the mag.
Thats the way Saiga makes them but on a regular AK the trigger group is directly behind the mag. When some one says their saiga has been “converted” They mean the trigger group has been moved forward to the original position.
A Gunsmith is generally required to do this.
If that $1500 one was converted then the price may be about right.
Its a lot to pay for a dang shotgun, but they are WAY cool.
I love a cool gun! Just fired my first shot gun about a month ago. I know for home defense they are awesome. We have had home invasions around here where the perps are kicking in the doors in the evening and sticking a firearm in the homeowners faces. They know people are home and don’t care. I told my hubby about it and that I wasn’t going to leave lights on when I go to bed to put them at a disadvantage. Told him all I need are nvg on my M4 and if they come in my house I am gonna clear room by room. I’m just a little intimidated trying to build one while he is gone, he is definitely the one with the most trigger time and weapons knowledge.
Last week, I picked up a Mossberg 590A1 with 9-shot capacity and 20" barrel.
I just couldn't resist a mil-spec shotgun that came with its own bayonet!
