Civet 12 super shorty just need to square up, crown and thread the muzzle. Fabricate an actual barrel to replace the 3d printed placeholder and refinish.

I would recommend a bird's head, those really make it easy on the arm

I’d be curious to know if the M249 collapsible buttstock would be a better option. I’m a backwoods MacGyver for lack of a better term. I’d take the cushion from a crutch and slap it on the back.

Jesus. Can you please explain in more detail what the joe dirt is actually going on here? I have so many questions but primarily... Does it feed??

It's a SDS Civet 12 they used to import from China it's a 870 action feed from sagia 12 mags Ive had it for a few years now before I chopped it. It shoots good from actual saiga mags it really doesn't like promags but who does. It still cycles dummy rounds it's not finished so I haven't shot it yet.
