I know this thread is old and i was just looking to see if anyone has said anything about these. I bought one earlier this week for $399. Let say if anyone is on the fence with one these just get one. The Chinese just know how to make AK's its that simple. I've been nothin but happy with my lynx or my chinese saiga 12. I've run about 20 rounds of buckshot through mine and 200 rounds of cheapest birdshot from walmart through mine, i did turn the gas down a notch for the buckshot. Even still i pretty much just took the shotgun out of the box lubed it up and and put 220 rounds through it with a couple minor jams from the super cheap birdshot stuff.
I took apart and cleaned it yesterday and there's really not a whole lot of wear going on in the inside. This shotgun is super quality for the money. If someone says otherwise they're just butthurt that their russian saiga didnt run this good out of the box LOL. I had no issues with my SGM 12 round mags they're a little tight but fit no problem and the SDS 10 round mag was also no issue in my gun. The only mag to give me an issue was the 5 round mag it came with the metal tab on the rear of the mag wasn't bent properly so that tab kept coming off while loading it, I bent it back and fits tight on the rear of the mag now.
I dont have any pictures but the rivets on mine are well done and i couldnt be happier for $399.

I had a Lynx 12 and wanted to love it.
The barrel on my example was canted to the right so badly that you had to aim off like 5 ft to hit what you wanted to shoot. I thought it might have been the gas block or bead sight but nope, the barrel was literally hanging off to the right. Hopefully just a lemon though!
I returned it and have been on the hunt for another Lynx since.
However, I'm looking at a JLS example that Academy has. It looks like a USAS-12/AR15 hybrid. Aluminum lower, and upper with AR compatible stock and grip. Never seen one before but it's also Chinese and looks to be of high quality.
