SDS shotguns
Anyone familiar with this brand? AIM sent an email advertising this shotgun. It looks like a Saiga and claims it will take Saiga mags.
https://aimsurplus.com/sds-lynx12-12-gauge-ak-shotgun/ I located a dealer that has them in stock about 50 miles from here for $50 more than AIM. I don't own a shotgun and want one for home defense.

I believe SDS primarily imports from Turkey, if you don’t mind a muzzie made gun.

They also have a Benelli M4 clone that has good reviews on YouTube.

I like the detachable mag feature instead of a tube for the shells. |

Chinese? Interesting. Was the China firearms and ammo ban rescinded? Maybe some importers figured out a loophole? I still believe those Saigas are the best mag fed semi auto shotguns.

IDK what is going on with the import of these shotguns. I do know that Russian imports are banned so no more Saigas for now.
I was at a small gun show yesterday and there was one Saiga there for sale. The seller wanted $1300 for it. I should have bought one years ago when they were $300-350. |

Know nothing about the SDS, but got a Saiga in .410 and love the little beast.
If the SDS is even comparable, I'd get it. $500 is a great price considering what Saiga's are going for.

I'd rather have a 410 but all SDS offers now is a 12 gauge. With my luck after I buy the 12 gauge they'll come out with 410s.

During break-in oil them a lot, it helps. He also took a Dremel and did some polishing on the rails and hammer face. The only mags he could get 100% reliability on where the 8 or 10 round Saiga 12 mags made by Csspecs, anything else was junk. |

Had a large groundhog up back about 50 feet out from the deck near the wife's roses.... the Lynx 12 barked 3 times in around a second and Mr. groundhog ate 3 high brass #4 and is now taking a dirt nap.
I tease him about his Lynx 12.... I could easily see this thing on a Walking Dead episode. |

Don't know if you're at on a Saiga clone or not, but I checked these out today.
These are RIA models https://www.rkguns.com/top-brands/ar...tguns.html?p=1 I like the feel and weight of the VR60. Shoulders well and feels good, and priced at $449 @ sportsman's warehouse. Downside (if is is at all) all furniture is plastic. The VR80 is a good bit beefier. Found it too heavy for myself to handle comfortably. All furniture and barrel shroud is anodized aluminum. $649 @ SW Comes with 5 rd mags with 10s available. |
