The short-barrelled Kalashnikov USA 12 GA shotgun is a compact, semi-automatic and 12 calibre firearm, with a smooth-bore barrel. It is based on the Russian Saiga series and manufactured entirely in the United States by American workers, using American-made components and materials.

The 12 GA SBS has a barrel length of 33.34 cm. The overall length (OAL) of the Kalashnikov USA SBS is 33.875” with the B5 Systems Bravo Stock fully extended and is 31.5″ when the stock is collapsed. The SBS weighs 7.85 pounds and comes with 2 five round 12 GA magazines.

The KUSA 12 GA SBS accepts standard 12 gauge 2 3/4” and 3” magnum shells. The gun’s abbreviated barrel works best with loads exceeding 1340 feet per second. It utilizes the long-stroke gas system of Mikhail Kalashnikov’s famous AK-47 rifle but with an innovative and adjustable gas system that allows custom tuning based on the ammunition being used. The result is a reliable and smooth shooting firearm with a short length and excellent handling characteristics.

The KUSA SBS comes with a B5 Systems Bravo Stock, tri-rail forend, vertical forward grip, standard side-mounted optics rail and a threaded muzzle for use with external choke tubes, muzzle brakes or flash suppressors. The KUSA SBS 12 GA has a front bead sight coupled with a rear notch.
