 +
 +
The '''Kalashnikov USA KS-12''' shotgun is a semi-automatic shotgun, a clone of the Saiga-12 manufactured in the United States by Kalashnikov USA. The KS-12 accepts 2.75” and 3” shells and features an adjustable gas system that allows it to utilize a variety of different shell types.
 +
 +
The shotgun also features the traditional [[AK]] style side-mounted dovetail mount and a threaded barrel. Most Saiga accessories and parts, such as magazines, chokes, and muzzle devices, are compatible with the KS-12.
 +
 +
The '''Kalashnikov USA Komrad''' is a 12 gauge semi-automatic, short-barreled firearm. While essentially a short-barreled shotgun, the Komrad is considered a "firearm" as it does not meet the definition for either a "shotgun" or a "short-barreled shotgun" under United States federal law and thus is not subject to the registration and extra paperwork required to own a similar short-barreled shotgun as outlined in the National Firearms Act.
 +
 +
The Komrad's barrel length is only 12.5" long, under the 18" length requirement to be considered a "shotgun" by law, however, it has an overall length of 31.5" and lacks a stock, instead being fit with a pistol brace. Like the KS-12, it features an adjustable gas system and is compatible with most Saiga-12 parts and accessories.

Revision as of 11:27, 19 February 2023

The Saiga shotgun series is a series of AK-derived civilian semi-automatic shotguns developed and manufactured by Izhmash (now known as Kalashnikov Concern). The Saiga is primarily manufactured in three different calibers: 12 gauge (Saiga 12 series), 20 gauge (Saiga 20 series), and .410 bore (Saiga .410 series).

Each of these three types of Saiga shotguns generally have three main variants:

  • The unsuffixed base variant, with long barrel, fixed buttstock, and no pistol grip. This variant can also be manufactured with a quick-detachable buttstock and quick-detachable pistol grip.
  • The S variant with long barrel, folding stock, and pistol grip.
  • The K variant with short barrel, folding stock, and pistol grip. The civilian versions of the K variants are equipped with a trigger locking mechanism that prevents the trigger from being pulled when the stock is folded; this is because the Russian law prohibits shotguns with barrel lengths below 500 mm (20") and also overall lengths below 800 mm (32"), and the Saiga K variants go below the length limit when their stocks are folded, necessitating the safety block to follow Russian regulations. Police, military, and export variants of the K variants are not equipped with this mechanism.

Sporterized BATFE approved semi-auto versions of the Saiga shotgun are available for sale to civilians in the United States.

Kalashnikov USA Shotgun Series

Komrad 12 - 12 gauge
Kalashnikov USA KS-12 - 12 gauge

The Kalashnikov USA KS-12 shotgun is a semi-automatic shotgun, a clone of the Saiga-12 manufactured in the United States by Kalashnikov USA. The KS-12 accepts 2.75” and 3” shells and features an adjustable gas system that allows it to utilize a variety of different shell types.

The shotgun also features the traditional AK style side-mounted dovetail mount and a threaded barrel. Most Saiga accessories and parts, such as magazines, chokes, and muzzle devices, are compatible with the KS-12.

The Kalashnikov USA Komrad is a 12 gauge semi-automatic, short-barreled firearm. While essentially a short-barreled shotgun, the Komrad is considered a "firearm" as it does not meet the definition for either a "shotgun" or a "short-barreled shotgun" under United States federal law and thus is not subject to the registration and extra paperwork required to own a similar short-barreled shotgun as outlined in the National Firearms Act.

The Komrad's barrel length is only 12.5" long, under the 18" length requirement to be considered a "shotgun" by law, however, it has an overall length of 31.5" and lacks a stock, instead being fit with a pistol brace. Like the KS-12, it features an adjustable gas system and is compatible with most Saiga-12 parts and accessories.


Specifications

(2019 - Present)

  • Type: Shotgun, SBS
  • Caliber: 12 gauge
  • Barrel Length: - 12.6 in (32 cm) - Komrad 12; 18.5 in (47 cm) - KS12
  • Length: - 31.5 in (80 cm) - Komrad 12; 38.2 in (97 cm) - KS12
  • Weight: - 7.9 lbs (3.6 kg) - Komrad 12; 8.4 lbs (3.8 kg) - KS12
