get both
I just bought the M12AK-T1 and ran 50 rounds of buckshot through it. Also put about 300 rounds of various steel shot and birdshot. I pretty much ran everything 1200 fps or higher. It has a really easy adjustable gas block and they recommend tuning the gas to the ammo that you are currently shooting.
When I bought it the magwell had a crack in it and the LGS contacted the manufacturer on Thursday last week, and the new one already showed up. After shooting it yesterday the stupid plastic dust cover that rides on the guiderod spring broke off and it still functioned for a few more mag dumps until I finally realized it was broken. It was about zero degrees so that may have been a factor. I emailed the manufacturer on Sunday and they called me first thing this morning and said they were shipping a new one out today. So customer service seems to be legit.
I impulse bought mine, which I almost never do, but a sub $600 Saiga/Vepr style shotgun just caught my eye. So far it's met my expectations...
TiKTok Video Honestly, if there was a Lynx available in town for the same price I would probably pick one of those up too. I like it a lot, wish I could find a cheap Vepr, but I'm not paying $1700 for one.
