KS-12 – 12GA Short Barreled Shotgun (Blem) – Kalashnikov USA

Experience the perfect blend of power, maneuverability, and AK-style reliability with the Kalashnikov KS-12 Short Barreled Shotgun (SBS). Designed for serious shooters, home defenders, and tactical professionals, this blemished KS-12 12GA SBS model offers premium performance with a more compact footprint. Featuring a 13.125-inch barrel, adjustable gas system, and a B5 Systems Bravo Stock, the KS-12 SBS gives you the speed and flexibility needed for close-quarters engagements without compromising firepower.

Compact Power — Legendary AK Reliability

At the core of the KS-12 Short Barreled Shotgun lies the iconic Kalashnikov KS-12 platform, based on the battle-proven Russian Saiga-12 design. The 12GA SBS utilizes a long-stroke gas piston system derived from the AK-47, making it one of the most reliable semi-auto shotguns available today. The gas system is adjustable, allowing shooters to fine-tune the operation for various 2.75” and 3” shells exceeding 1340 fps. Whether you’re shooting slugs, buckshot, or high-brass loads, this shotgun cycles smoothly and consistently.

Purpose-Built for Tactical Applications

With its shortened 13.125” barrel, the KS-12 SBS is optimized for home defense, vehicle carry, or close-quarters operations. The gun features an OAL (overall length) of just 33.875″ with the B5 stock fully extended, and 31.5” when collapsed, offering superior handling in tight environments. The tri-rail forend and vertical foregrip improve control, while the side-mounted optics rail allows quick installation of red dots or scopes.
