bkelm18 0 Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Hello, sorry if this has been asked, but, a dealer on another forum is selling a Saiga .410 and says that it can be converted to a 12ga by swapping the barrel off a 12ga Remington 870 shotgun, is this true? I don't think it would work, but I don't know much about shotguns. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The bolt carrier, bolt ,extractor ,receiver rails, front trunnion , and gas block would all have to be changed out. Edited January 26, 2008 by Superhawk138 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think it would work, but I don't know much about shotguns. Thanks. I doubt it. I wouldn't be a direct swap anyhow. The 870 is a pump, no gas ports to work the action. The extractor would be wrong, and that's just the beginning. I'd go elsewhere. This guy's blowing smoke up your ass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bkelm18 0 Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Yeah that's what I thought. I asked how the piston would still work and he didn't have a good answer. Thanks guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure to some schmuck who believed the 12ga conversion crap. I would have bought it, but after he tried to feed me that line off bull I chose not to do business with him.
