We'll go back in the TNP Time Machine for this one. You see, Saiga 12 shotguns were featured regularly early in the Project. Some ran good but most didn't. They needed a lot of fussing and tuning to "get them right." I never bought one and never wanted to. Instead I focused on reliable auto options from Remington, Benelli, Stoeger, FN, etc. Those reviews still stand! 

But this Kalishnakov USA 12 gauge AK might break that cycle. I got it on loan from Gunnies the Great American Western Wear store. It goes on many desert outings to see if I can make it fail. Results shown. 

Now it is still a mag feed semi auto shotgun and that brings its own attendant problems (briefing reminded here). But with its well thought out furniture, simplicity, and reliability this might be the AK shotgun I've always wanted (for dove hunting of course).

I have two combat shotguns. Good ole Winchester 1300 with side saddle ($200 ex-police gun) that runs 5+1 and a Tavor TS12 ($1300) that runs 16+1. All sorted and no awkward mags! TS-12 likes the expensive ammo though. (17 rds buck = flawless/ 17 rds low brass = couple stovepipes). TS-12 has adjustable gas system…I should try the other setting! Fun fact: the 65 MOA circle on an EO Tech on is the same as the buckshot spread on the TS-12 at 10 yards.

Can nutn or anyone else tell me who does The Rolling Stones cover at the end of this video? Sounds like Michael Hutchence… I remember that nutn had inxs on one of his car videos back in the day.
