TonyRumore 1,332 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Will be available in 2-3 weeks. Steel one piece Mil-spec 1913 rail blended into an HK rear sight base. Price will be available next week. We will also have the rail only, without the sight base, contoured to fit the AK top cover. Weld on application. Of course on most guns, you will need to weld up the back of the top cover to tighten it up a bit. No big deal though. If you can weld the thing on, you can weld up the cover to tighten it up while you're at it. Tony Rumore Tromix Corp Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Merlin 0 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Nice. I was just going to go look (Google) for something like this and one that weld to the top of the gas tube. Do they even make one that welds to the top of the gas tube? I will be waiting for this.............. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bean.223 365 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Nice! This is for the 12 only?? thanx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Karma 0 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Nicely done Tony. I wish you were making those when I bought my Tromix. That rail is way slicker than the side mount one I had to cut down to get to work with my HK rear sight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I can do a rail for the gas tube, no problem. Once the CNC program is set for the pic rail with the top cover radius on the bottom, it's a simple change to tighten up the contour for the 20mm gas tube. I'll get those rolling as well. The current setup will work on any smooth AK top cover, not just the S-12. If you have one of those top covers that is ribbed for her pleasure, it won't sit flat unless you sand all the ribs off of it. Tony Rumore Tromix Corp Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TonyRumore 1,332 Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I suppose your could bolt it on, but with only one thread engaging that sheet metal, you'll probably have it in your teeth after a couple of shots. I wouldn't advise that....nor JB weld, super glue, duct tape etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tony Rumore Tromix Corp One of the gas tube rail and one of the rear w/o HK rear site base for me please. Maybe 2 of each depending on what my brother plans to do with his S12.

TonyRumore 1,332 Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Well, that might work....just get one of those boil-and-bite mouthpieces for your teeth before you try it out. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
6500rpm 670 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Very cool Tony. Trying to find steel picatinny rail is a bitch in itself, this takes care of things all in one nice little package. A+ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dwg1 3 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I'll need one of those beauty's for my 308 awsome, tony when will some of the shark breaks be available for the s-12 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 The s-12 shark brakes are on the CNC lathe now. I should have them in about a week. The first 20 or so will go out to those guys that have S-12's with the shallow threaded muzzles that had problems with the last batch of brakes screwing on. This new batch will be threaded to work with those barrels as well as the older barrels with the full cut threads. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bayoupiper 738 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Cool Tony! That might also eliminate the flexing that causes some covers to fly off! Have to get Will to order me one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunfixr 76 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I could be interested in the gas tube rails. I make them for customers one at a time when ordered, and it's not really economical that way. For the right price, mass CN machined would be much easier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Project_Pat 0 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) That looks great Tony.......can i order these directly from your company? Edited February 6, 2009 by Project_Pat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jrance@iacwds.com 716 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) Great looking item Tony! You say to weld it up at the rear of the dust cover to tighten it up? Is this something you will have alread done? I noticed the below design that we can't get here but they apparently use a couple of locking screws at the rear. Thoughts? Tactical Rail top scope mount to fit a Saiga, Vepr and most other late model AK47's. Very strong mount held on by 2x locking screws at the rear of the mount. No gunsmithing required, if you ca field strip your rifle you can mount one of these. Edited February 6, 2009 by 1911 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gmorgan 2 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Tony will the production runs be finished in the same way as your regular gun builds ? I don't suppose we can send in our top covers and have you weld and finish can we, if you can could you give a price for the compleat install rail, weld and finsh ? BTW I KNEW you would pop summpin like this on me just as I was getting ready to send the check for my S-17 lol. Very nice product Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TronJohn 1 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Jumping in on this... I want one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
49gmc 3 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I am also interested. I've considered an ultimak........but always held off because of the heat coming off of the gas tube. I don't really want to subject my high dollar Trijicon Reflex II to that kind of abuse. And I certainly want to be able to get my ak's a little warm sometimes I've got a saiga 12 and an Arsenal SAM-7.......I think this is just what I've been looking for for both of them. keep us updated!!! Good work as always..... 49gmc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wotan1105 7 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Great idea to include the rail and HK sights. Would most definitely be interested in one having a pain trying to find someone with a tig welder tho. Even still have a back plate to put on. Will be keeping an eye out for them, keep up the great work and great products. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vintagedude88 16 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Any chance you can sell it with the top cover for an S12 ready to go for us bolt-on guys? Also seeing how it is on the top cover, how well will it hold zero? The top cover on my .308 wiggles a bit would the additional set screws remedy that problem? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigcraig 0 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I like it, and while I am interested in it, I still would like have a pic rail section that utilizes the factory rear sight dovetail slot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Yes, you can send in your top cover and I can weld the pic rail in front of your existing sight. But, I can't remove the old rear sight base and replace it with this one. It's a mess trying to get the HK rear sight base off the top cover, once it has been welded in place. I don't have any spare top covers to sell them complete. Nothing would line up worth a shit like that anyway. Keep in mind guys.....your gun is not assembled even romotely straight from the factory. Your trunion is not riveted in the channel straight. It could be shot in to the left, right, up down, or a combination. Your top cover isn't straight either. It may sit rocked to the right, left, twisted, or shifted side to side, whatever. Your gas tube and gas manifold aren't made right either, let alone installed right. The barrel isn't even pressed in the trunion straight, many times. You put that whole combination of fucked up parts with fucked up assembly, then just "slap" on a Tromix sight/scope mount (which is straight) and the chances of everything lining up is close to ZERO, unless it is all fitted, and lined up with a bore laser. Even then, with everything hitting at point of aim, it still may not "look" straight, because the sight mount has to be "aimed" at the bore path regardless of where all your other fucked up parts are pointed. The only thing I can guarantee is that the sights will be in line with the bore and you can hit what you are aiming at.....that's about the best case scenario considering what we have to work with here.

afroman006 0 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) Kickass! Sign me up for one as well. Any idea on pricing? Edited February 7, 2009 by afroman006 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lance 4 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 X2 on the pricing for this and the gas tube one. will the gas tube one and this one be at the same level once welded on? also will this thing come with the HK sight, front and rear or just the rear? also will it line up with one of the barrel mounted AK looking sights?

lipadj46 2 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) Looks great but I have a few questions. How stable is this rail and how about return to zero after removing the dust cover? I just wonder how stable mounting an optic to the sheet metal dust cover is. Is it something you could mount a red dot on and go deer hunting or turkey hunting and have dependable repeatability shot after shot? Or is it more for just range fun?

I just wonder how stable mounting an optic to the sheet metal dust cover is. Or is it good enough for close ranges? Is it something you could mount a red dot on and go deer hunting or turkey hunting and have dependable repeatability shot after shot? Perhaps one could use index marks that would be engraved, stamped, whatever fore and aft of the top cover to check zero alignment and reset as required ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
