The KS-12TSBS by Kalashnikov USA is 100% American-made and largely based on the Russia’s renowned Saiga shotgun. This short-barreled shotgun measures in at a mere 44” overall length, making it ideal for close range engagements in confined spaces. It comes equipped with Mikhail Kalashnikov’s legendary AK-type long stroke gas system, giving the KS-12TSBS outstanding reliability in virtually any condition. The gas system is adjustable, allowing the KS-12TSBS to accept a massive assortment of ammunition from light 2 ¾” low-brass cartridges to 3” high-brass magnum shells. Unlike the vast majority of semiautomatic shotguns that utilize a fixed, tubular magazine, the KS-12TSBS is outfitted with a detachable box magazine, similar to that of an AK-pattern rifle. This gives the KS-12TSBS a massive advantage over traditional tube-fed designs: the ability to swap magazines instead of loading individual shells makes reloading significantly faster, and allows the user to quickly and easily exchange ammunition types. The included 5-round box magazine can be upgraded with larger 10-round box magazines as well as Saiga-type drum magazines, giving the user a substantial amount of firepower. The KS-12TSBS is rounded out with a B5 Systems Bravo Stock and well as an included vertical forward grip, giving the user optimal control over the weapon.
Other features of the KS-12TSBS include an extensive list of customization options. The majority of Saiga aftermarket parts are compatible with the shotgun, but Kalashnikov USA offers an entire line of accessories specifically designed to enhance the KS-12TSBS’s performance. These include chokes, muzzle brakes, fore-grips, sling studs, and optics mounts, allowing the KS-12TSBS to be adapted to any role or situation.
