Since the last round of import restrictions, very few firearms have been as highly sought after as the Saiga-12 shotgun. These firearms as popular as they continue to be were well known for being all over the map as far as quality control. While some function flawlessly, running everything from hot slugs & buck shot down to the inexpensive bulk pack ammo, there were others that refused to cycle properly regardless of ammo type. Because of this non conformity an entire aftermarket industry with fixes, upgrades & accessories quickly formed. Of those companies that rebuilt & upgraded the Saiga-12 platform, none were as highly sought after as TROMIX Lead Delivery Systems started by Tony Rumore, a long time gun plumber & skunkworx specialist well known for many of his innovative, sometimes outrageous designs. His version of the Saiga-12 often referred to as the S17. Though it may quickly be easily identified by the aggressive door breeching shark muzzle break & familiar XS night sights a detailed look will expose an enormous number of upgrades to the original platform that could include a SAW pistol grip, re-machining the receiver end to the correct angle & adding a TIG welded back plate, a welded safety selector stop, welded TROMIX trigger guard, welded up discarded axis pin holes, the addition of US mfg. fire control parts, modifying the mag well for standard capacity magazines, realigning the gas block, tuning the extractor w/ proper bbl. relief & sand blasting w/ aluminum oxide media before refinishing w/ a black, bake on Norrell Molly Resin. Other options available which are included on this particular example are side folding stock w/ LimbSaver recoil pad, Galil charging handle, HK style sights & 8″ bbl. Left side receiver traditional AK scope mount. MAGS: 1 -Pro-Mag 20 rd. drum.  NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT SBS REQUIRING BATF TRANSFER BEFORE TAKING POSSESSION. FULLY TRANSFERABLE.
