SDS Imports Civet-12 Pump-Action Shotgun | 19" Threaded Barrel, Ghost Ring Sights, Detachable-Magazine Ready
The Civet-12 from SDS Imports stands out as one of the very few pump-action shotguns designed for Saiga-12 pattern detachable magazines, giving shooters rapid reload potential in a proven manual-action format. Built on a robust carbon-steel receiver with a 19-inch threaded barrel and topped with ghost-ring sights, this recent import offers modern features at an MSRP under $300 while still sharing many internal parts with the Remington 870 pattern.
Condition
Overall Condition: Good – shows light handling wear with scattered scratches and finish blemishes.
Bore Condition: Good – clean, shiny bore with minor wear marks.
Specific Condition Notes: Surface scratches are present on the receiver and barrel, but all controls function smoothly and the polymer furniture is intact.
What’s Included
- SDS Imports Civet-12 shotgun (no magazine included)
Detachable-magazine compatibility is the Civet-12’s hallmark. It accepts Saiga-12 box magazines and drums, letting you tailor capacity and reload speed to the task—though none are supplied with this sale, the shotgun is ready for them out of the box.
The 19-inch carbon-steel barrel is factory threaded (M22×7.5 mm RH), so you can mount Saiga-style muzzle brakes or chokes without gunsmithing. A matte parkerized finish protects both barrel and receiver from corrosion and glare.
A windage-adjustable ghost-ring rear aperture teams with a hooded front post for fast sight acquisition. For optics, a scope-mount rail is already installed, and additional accessory rails give space for lights or lasers.
The Civet-12 wears a durable black polymer pistol-grip stock and a ribbed Treeline fore-end that offers positive pump purchase even with gloves. Because the action shares many components with the venerable Remington 870, owners can tap into a wide aftermarket for triggers, safety buttons, and other small parts.
Chambered for both 2 ¾" and 3" 12-gauge shells, this shotgun keeps versatility high while overall capacity remains one round as configured without a magazine.
