So I just ordered a JTS M12AR from PSA? What kind of trouble am I in for? Figured for the price I'd roll the dice.

This one.

Well it's CA compliant so there's everything associated with that.  Like the the magazine lock?
My own view is that left-wing positions largely come about from resentment, I agree with Nietzsche, a resentment about the surrounding social order. They have privileges, I don't. Or, I have them and I can't live up to them. Roger Scruton

That appears to be easily removed per some info I've seen online. So non issue.

I was tempted to try one but I am invested in 1919 mags and don’t wantvto collect others.

Saw on a dude on Reddit is in the process of making adapters for the 1919 mags.

I ordered one of these as well.  In the reviews on the PSA site is how to remove the mag release lock.  Basically remove a bolt & roll pin, then remove block.  Reassemble and it is good to go.

I do have some Turkish 12ga. mags to see how close they are to fitting.  I also have Saiga-12 & Vepr-12 mags as well, so I can see how different they are.

But I've seen where these respond pretty well to having the barrel trimmed back.  I like how they are similar in appearance to the old Daewoo USAS-12 shotguns.  While not a clone, it is close enough to scratch that itch for $200.

The JTS AR12 mags are unique - Lanbo's armory has the best price on them when you add to cart.

I posted a video in the other PSA JTS AR shotgun thread.

So simple a cave man could do it and doesn't require buying any extra / different parts.

Good to know - just in case that little easily removal blocking pin should ever "accidentally" fall out.

I fell for the trap too and ordered one.
It should be here this week sometime.
Anyone with a 3d printer want to print me the SS parts?
I already have a spare SS laying around....

If you can't find anyone to print for you. Trigon makes one:

I have a spare Super Safety and should give it a try when my JTS gets here.

I got one coming today, first thing is to tear it down and smooth out everything I can think of and make sure the gas port is free of any burrs and drilled all the way through, that seems to be a common complaint.

Pretty sure that style is made to work with cassette style frt’s like partisans or raregreed. The kit for super safety’s is totally different.

Interesting. So the JTS are compatible with standard AR FCG and drop in triggers?
I have not looked at the trigger closely, but I just assumed it was proprietary.

Completely normal AR hammer, trigger, pins, and springs from what I can tell. I put a spare ALG in mine and it works.

Well I broke down and bought a 3D printer.
Are there files for this trip anywhere?
Since it will accept a RB FR15L3, I may use that in this thing, since the trigger pull sucks too much for a rifle. The pull does not matter as much on a cheap shotgun.

Just search M12AR on gun cad index and you will find them

I just did and found the super safety parts, but not the trip for a cassette style frt.
Unless the part in the SS file that goes into the bolt will trip the rare breed?

Well I printed out the SS parts, and installed it all.
Gun will not function check.
The BCG gets stuck about halfway back when attempting to cycle the action, then I have to bang the muzzle on the floor to get the BCG to get un stuck.
Looking at the marks on the parts, it appears the lever is too tall. It will not allow the BCG to pass over it.

I also tried to install my rare breed 3 position and it will not go in.
The pocket in the receiver on the left side, just above the safety, is too thick. If it was a little thinner, it would drop in.

Ya I had to sand the top of the lever extension down, pretty easy.  Also add like 3 quarters down the bufffer tube.
4/26/2026 2:59:14 PM EDT
[#21]
What is the purpose of the quarters?
Add a little more pressure to the recoil spring, or limit the rearward travel of the BCG?
4/26/2026 9:20:19 PM EDT
[#22]
To tell you the truth I’m not sure. I had been reading about guys trying to use kak mini buffers with carbine tubes to get them to run. I saw a video of some dude saying fuck all that and he dumped quarters down the tube and it worked flawlessly. I’m guessing it has something to do with travel/timing.

Well, it only cost 75 cents to try it, and you will get a 100% refund if it does not work.

When I get some more time I will reinstall the SS and try sanding down the lever some.
