Built by Izhmash in Russia and imported by FIME Group in Las Vegas, this Saiga-12 is a pre-ban example brought in before the 2014 sanctions halted Russian Saiga imports. Receiver markings include SAIGA-12 with the Cyrillic САЙГА-12 and the factory-designated "12/76 18,3" indicating a 3-inch chamber and 18.3 mm bore, along with Russian proof/certification stamps and FIME importer mark.
The shotgun uses a semi-automatic, gas-operated action with a rotating bolt and right-side charging handle. It retains a rear tangent-style sight and a standard AK-pattern side optics rail on the receiver. The stamped steel receiver has riveted trunnions and is finished in black.
Furniture includes a fixed black polymer stock with a rear sling loop and a black polymer pistol grip bearing the Izhmash logo. Length of pull measures 13.0 inches. The bolt and carrier are stamped with a matching assembly number "893."
Customization includes a US-made UTG PRO MTU002 aluminum quad-rail handguard and an aftermarket clamp-on multi-baffle muzzle brake/compensator. The installed rail provides a stable mounting interface on the handguard, and the clamp-on brake is secured at the muzzle.
The 20.5" barrel and 3" chamber make this Saiga-12 compatible with a wide range of 12-gauge loads. It accepts detachable box magazines and is listed here with two 12-round polymer magazines from SGM Tactical and Surefire Gun Mags, both marked Made in USA. Stated capacity is 12+1.
