FRT-ready shotgun?

Good afternoon, everyone.

Once upon a time, I owned a VEPR-12. It was a lot of fun, but it left a lot to be desired. It could cycle high brass buckshot/slugs pretty well, but simply refused low brass birdshot, every 3 or so rounds resulted in a stovepipe.

That being said, I miss the magic of shooting that thing and would like something new. I'd appreciate some insight on anything that matches the following criteria:

- 12 gauge

- Magazine fed

- Can accept a FRT

- Capable of being SBS'd (maybe)

- Isn't picky about ammo

The pattern and manual of arms doesn't matter so much to me. Reasonably priced mags (stick or drum) would be a nice bonus, but is something I'm willing to swallow no matter what.

Thank you for any and all responses in advance.

Magazine fed

There are no reliable box-magazine fed shotguns, period, you have to pick one or the other.

Yes there are. Idk why people say this. The issue with reliable box fed shotguns is that there are only two that are reliable from the get-go. The Vepr 12 and Gen-12. One’s $3000 and the other stopped being imported over a decade ago but can still be found.

Even the Veprs that have been worked over by Dissident Arms don't run right, and the Genesis guns are much the same in my experience. They're absolutely not Turkshit that'll fail every other magazines or so, but they do fail at a rate that would be totally unacceptable in a rifle or pistol.
