The IZHMASH Saiga-12 is a semi-automatic shotgun chambered in 12 gauge. It features a 20-inch barrel and a detachable magazine system with a standard 10-round capacity. The design is based on the Kalashnikov pattern, utilizing a gas-operated action and a rotating bolt mechanism. The receiver and barrel assembly are constructed from steel, and the shotgun retains the characteristic AK-style layout with a right-side charging handle and safety lever.
This Saiga-12 is used. The semi-automatic action allows for rapid cycling of 12-gauge shells, and the 20-inch barrel provides a balance between handling and ballistic performance. The firearm includes the factory magazine configuration supporting ten rounds. The finish is consistent with standard Saiga production, typically a matte or parkerized exterior on the metal components with synthetic furniture. Controls and layout follow the AK-type configuration, including the safety selector and magazine release.
Included with the shotgun is one 10-round detachable magazine. No additional accessories, packaging, or tools are listed. The firearm reflects IZHMASH’s adaptation of the Kalashnikov system for 12-gauge use, combining familiar operating controls with the capacity and configuration typical of the Saiga-12 line.
