We were at our friends house last night having dinner. After dinner he gave my boys a Rossi 62A pump 22 for Christmas. :D

He told me that he needed the room in his gun case because he was thinking of purchasing an HK shotgun that took a box magazine.

I did some searching this morning but I can't come up with anything except a CAW that looks like it was develped for the military. Do you guys know of anything that fits his description?

The CAWS is the only HK shotgun i've ever heard of.

IIRC the HK CAWS has never gone into production. I doubt that is what he would be buying.....

Magazine fed shotgun == Saiga. :)

Magazine fed shotgun == Saiga. :) That does make sense. Are you sure he said "HK" and not "AK" ?

IMO, this sounds like the case.

Although,

Benelli did make development guns that were essentially box mag fed 121/Super 90s but don't think they ever saw a sales counter. Only other shotgun I know HK sold (before Benelli) was the 512 for the GSG9 (made by Franchi).

FWIW, I saw an HK shotgun at a gun show in west palm beach a couple of weeks ago. I even commented to a friend that I didn't know HK made a shotgun. I didn't stop to investigate it because the place was packed and I was on the hunt for THE handgun that I was buying myself for Christmas.

HK imported SxS and pump shotguns marked Fabarms but no magazine-fed ones AFAIK.

I know he didn't say AK.

He is not a gun "expert" so maybe he saw something on the Internet or TV that was a prototype or similar. I wasn't going to question him after his generosity.

What are the available shotguns on the market besides the Saiga that are magazine fed?

[hksw]

Well, there are the Franchi SPAS-15 and USAS12 which oar box mag fed. No longer imported but still available if you look and find a seller.

An HK like that would cost a fortune. Get the Saiga 12, IF you can find one! Then mod it to take 10-rd mags or 20-rd drums. No mods really needed to physically use the hi-cap mags, just you're better off legally when you do (and if you want to add other stuff like folding/collapsible stocks and pistol grips, then you pretty much HAVE to mod other stuff to make it legal under 922r, less than 10 "official" BATF foreign parts)
