TOKYO MARUI – SAIGA-12K GBB Shotgun Series

This gas blowback shotgun series starts with the Saiga-12K, a variant type designed for use by police enforcement forces! The Saiga-12K, modelled after the AK, is a civilian-issue semi-automatic shotgun. 

Built as a semi-automatic shotgun, the “Saiga 12” was modelled after the AK series - popular during the Soviet era. The original intent was to cater to civilian hunters, but a variant called the “Saiga-12K” with a shorter barrel was eventually introduced to meet the needs of law enforcement.

This shotgun’s ease of reloading and, ability to be fired in the same posture as an assault rifle has made it a popular choice in markets outside of Russia.

With the new specialised blowback engine, it is now possible to fire three bullets at a time, while also experiencing blowback. Furthermore, the accuracy of each component is enhanced by gauging the actual weapon.

Features

• Powerful Blowback : Equipped with the SAIGA exclusive blowback engine that uses a large piston with a diameter of 19mm. The bolt operates in conjunction with the shot so that you can enjoy a strong recoil action.
• Realistic : It faithfully reproduces the same functions as the real SAIGA, such as loading the first bullet by operating the bolt handle and stopping the forward movement of the bolt when the magazine runs out. In addition, the strip down can be performed almost like the real thing.
• Auto stop system : Equipped with an auto-stop system that detects when the magazine is empty and stops firing. Furthermore, by turning off the auto stop cancel switch at the top of the magazine, you can enjoy the blank firing mode without any BBs in the magazine.
• Appearance : The reproduction of each part is improved. In addition, the receiver cover and selector lever are made of stamped steel just like the real thing.
• Adjustable Front Sights : The front sight can be adjusted up and down with a special adjustment tool. In addition, various optical sights can be mounted by attaching the separately sold. “Side Lock Mount Rail for AK74” to the side rail equipped on the receiver.
• Box Type Magazine : Comes with a resin case magazine that holds 45 BBs and a temperature measurement seal on the internal gas tank surface.

To buy an airsoft weapon in the UK you must have a valid airsoft defence.

This is not a licence, it is basically just proof that you intend to buy an airsoft weapon for use in airsoft.

An airsoft defence could be a UKARA or membership with the British Airsoft Club, and various other forms of defence.

You can only obtain an airsoft defence once you are over the age of 18.

To get an airsoft defence the law is that you should play at least 3 games of airsoft, and that you must have been playing for at least two months.

You can still buy an airsoft gun without a defence, provided you are 18 or older. If you choose to do this we would, by law, two tone (paint in a bright colour) parts of your chosen weapon. This is because an airsoft gun is considered a RIF aka Realistic Imitation Firearm, because they are so close to the real steel, whereas when you paint parts of it in a bright colour it becomes an IF aka Imitation Firearm. The reason being that the bright colours make it look less realistic to the public, and therefor less likely to be mistaken as real, were it to be used for any other purpose than airsoft.

When you order a gun from us you will need to add your defence details in the comments section of the cart. If you do not have a defence you will need to write the colour that you wish to be used for two toning your airsoft weapon.

Here is what's stated in the VCRA (Violent Crime Reduction) Act:

For airsoft skirmishing, the Association of British Airsoft is putting in place arrangements to allow retailers to check that individual purchasers are members of a genuine skirmishing club or site. The key elements of these arrangements are:
1. new players must play at least 3 (three) times in a period of not less than two months before being offered membership
2. membership cards with a photograph and recognised format will be issued for production to retailers
3. A central database will be set up for retailers to cross-check a purchaser’s details
4. member’s entry on the database will be deleted if unused for 12 months.
The defence for airsoft skirmishing can apply to individual players because their purchase of realistic imitation firearms for this purpose is considered part of the “holding” of a skirmishing event.
