AustinL911 0 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Hey guys. Newbie to the forum here. I've had an S12 on my wishlist for a looooong time now, and finally took the plunge, and bought one. It appears that prices are on the rise for them, so I decided to bite the bullet and go ahead and get one. I believe I'm somewhere around mid-2009 on the Tromix conversion list, so I've got some time. I ordered the gun and 3 mags from ImpactGuns.com (2-3month wait ). One thing I didn't check on, is whether I should buy the 108 or the 109. The description says the 108 has a rail. Do I want a rail? The guy at IG that I talked to said I did, but, he could just be trying to coax another $20 outta me. So, I guess my main concern is, I'd love to have a set of those HK-style sights. Does the rail have any affect on the style of sights I can run? Is the rail permanent? Some pictures of the differences would be sweet if somebody has got'em. Here's some pics of what I'm going for: On the bottom, on both: I like #2 and #3, as well as their sights. I don't like the rails on #1,4,5 (which now that I look at them, that's probably the one I ordered [crap] ). Would I be correct in saying #2and3 = 109's, and #1,4,5 = 108s? : Thanks for any help you guys can give a newbie. Looking forward to joining the club. p.s. Your search function turned up nil.

kresk 10,063 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 If you look at all the Tromix's in the pix you will notice that none of them have the IZ108 sight rail on them, so save your extra $20. And, welcome to the forum! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mscottrogers 56 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 here's a picture of the difference, I believe the 109 has no site leaf 108 does, but I believe both are removable and should'nt be a problem for the conversion you have in mind Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dylan 0 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) It does not mater mine was a 108, but I would use what ever was cheapest. Edited May 23, 2008 by OrRedbeard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
usptac 0 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 HK Sights. I have them on my saiga-12, and if I could do it over, I'd probably go with something else. I can never be 100% sure of my point of aim. They might work for you just fine, but they don't suit me too well. Sub-gun HK sights, with large holes in the rear drum, versus small holes with the rifle sight drum, might be better on second thought. (sorry, train-of-thought post) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gtnichols 51 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Yeah,... just try to get some of those 8 round factory mags! Steel sights are the way to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
