Hi folks,

With a bit of luck, it won't be too long till I get my hands on an FAC. One of my slots will be for an S1 shotgun for PSG.

As I have fairly unco hands, I figure a box fed gun is the way to go.
I'm looking at the BR-99, saiga and vepr12 options.

Any I've missed?
Which would you get, and why?

Many thanks!

All I know is that I wouldn't be paying close to 1200 quid for a 12 gauge AK variant.....

Ok... Can you explain a little more? The veprs and saigas I've seen in use seem to be very effective and reliable...

You may also get lucky & find an old Sidewinder conversion set that fits a standard Mossberg pump action, but NOT CHEAP

You have to spend a ton of money to make a Saiga competition ready, and vaguely reliable. They tend to go wrong, often.

I just bought a BR-99. Out of the box it needs tweaking and tuning to make it race ready. But it's £500.

Try the Valtro PM5 Box feed PUMP shotgun ?

Google it.

That Valtro thing looks fun, but would def be in open class and at a disadvantage to the semi autos...

You don't want to be shooting pump in open!!

I would be impressed if you could get a Sidewinder conversion out of the USA through legitimate channels these days.
