Shotgun price

[mole hill]

Yes, just like any other S1 firearm.

Although some forces are more difficult about granting slots for them for vermin.

I know what you mean about some forces being more difficult, i know people with FAC's that's been turned down when they've tried for a S1 shotgun.

Also check out the Akdal 1919. Both legal to own on a FAC in the UK.

The Saiga is fairly crap in standard form, and the 1919 also needs mods (talking about from a PSG perspective) to be competitive and smooth. The vepyr 12 is better than the Saiga, but more expensive.

I know guys with both, the Saiga needs fairly frequent work to keep it going. It won't cycle 28g loads without modification if I remember rightly.

I have a feeling the 1919 won't stand up to heavy PSG use due to build materials and quality.

Each to their own of course, I shoot pump in PSG because I like to do things the hard way!

There are just as many moving parts on an ejector over/under as a pump. In fact pumps are less complicated mechanically.

+1.

Real men use pumps!

Having said that I have both a semi and an over & under, but pumps just feel 'right' and are more reliable than rock.

I know of people getting granted S1 Shotguns for vermin control but you'd definitely need a good reason, like crops getting hammered by birds and 3 shots being inadequate.

Personally I think it's a lot of hassle if you're not going to take part in PSG competitions, and you'd be better off practicing slicker reloads!

Haha! I've uttered those very words about real men use pumps a few times!

PSG comps can be won/lost on the speed of your reloads!

Well if we both say it, it must be true!
