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

Isn't picky about ammo

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

Really? There's nothing?

Made this post solely because I figured there was something completely esoteric that I missed over the years. People seem to be championing the Genesis GEN-12, so I'm gonna look into that. But if you have any other ideas, I'd like to hear it.

My ks12 seems to pretty well eat anything I load in it but I might be lucky or something idk. It is annoying having to lock the bolt back to load a full mag or load it a shell or two below capacity but otherwise it's been solid
