KROSS FA 14 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I'm excited to release exclusive sneak peek images of our newest addition to the KROSS lineup and big brother to the HELLION, the KROSS FL TRI RAIL for the Saiga 12. The Kross FL Tri Rail was specifically designed to increase functionality of the Saiga 12 as a tactical home defense and/or recreational weapon while enhancing its aesthetics and amplifying its aggressive appearance. Created from aviation grade 6061 Aluminum, strapped up with Military Spec picatinny rails, and finished off with a sinister matte black finish, this hand guard means business from the get go. I will have more information on pricing and when these will become available in the coming weeks. Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy these exclusive sneak peek images.

KROSS FA 14 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Here's a quick photoshop profile of the hand guard on a basic 19" Tromix conversion to better illustrate approximate length. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Delta 5.56 0 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Looks like it should work with the Ultimak, sweet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
D-H 20 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I don't know how late it is in development/production phase at the moment but I think some vents on the sides below the side rail would help it look pretty badass and provide additional cooling. My. $0.02. Either way I like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KROSS FA 14 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Looks like it should work with the Ultimak, sweet. That's correct. This design will fit up with the Ultimak and is designed to work with H&K sights as well as other aftermarket accessories. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RABIDFOX50 6 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Will your rails accept KAC panels? How about Tango Down, Magpul, Etc........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KROSS FA 14 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Will your rails accept KAC panels? How about Tango Down, Magpul, Etc........ Our rails will be made to mil spec standard so there shouldn't be any problem with fitting as long as the panels are made to fit up with spec rails.

6500rpm 670 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Looks like a good design. Has anyone mentioned to tame down the cheese grater by the charging handle? In the past it's been the biggest complaint on most designs for the s12 and really no need for a sharp rail in that location. Just food for thought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In the past it's been the biggest complaint on most designs for the s12 and really no need for a sharp rail in that location. Just food for thought. We've considered this in the designing process and made sure there is sufficient room to work the charging handle without interference from the rail.

KROSS FA 14 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 UPDATE: The Kross Full Length Tri-Rail will now also feature lower slots to assist with cooling and make it even lighter than before.
