| BoR, the chances of you getting ANY components from these folks is next to impossible, look where those folks are.
As far as the import-ability, the ATF has some very silly rules regarding the sporting-ability of gun like this. Look at the Saiga 12, 20, 410, those guns are only allowed in the country due to the way they are configured, ie: no pistol grip, low capacity magazine.
Also, the .410 round itself just isn't my cup of tea, as the ammo itself is not very versatile and is just as expensive, if not more, than 12ga.
Now all that being said, and add to the fact I DO have a converted Saiga 12 comming soon along with a 20rd drum for it, I AM an AR guy through and through and if a good quality AR12 with good capacity were available, I would buy one in a heartbeat.
Also, VUPD is correct on the NFA aspect of building one to short barrel configuration.
For example: If you could get the parts to build this, which will be next to impossible, same goes for getting the specs to to it on your own, here are your options and things to remember.
1) The gun would have to have an 18" barrel, remember it is still a shotgun.
2) You could build it into an AOW using a virgin AR lower, but it will cost you the $200 making tax. But remember, in IN it cannot have a buttstock, ever, it will be just like my Serbu, pistol grip only. So it will be a semi-auto .410 pistol.
For me the end result is just not worth the effort, as I am just not a fan of the .410 round. But please, don't let my feelings or remarks stop you from achieving your goal to have this configuration, it is neat, just not for me.
Good Luck
