festivity 0 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Hey Friends, I need some advice on purchasing a scope mount for my S308. I read about this Beryl mount http://dpharms.com/beryl-style-scope-mount-p-230.html Does anyone know if they are any good? would i need the pistol grip conversion? If anyone knows better ones please let me know. What are u guys using? post pics and info please!!! thanx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wotan1105 7 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Don't look like a conversion would be required for that at all. Just take off your rear sights and screw it to the buttstock. Looks like a nice solution actually. Will see if anyone's used one before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Donkismash 81 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 this one looks promising http://www.texasweaponsystems.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bullsquid 2 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 The one from Texasweapons looks like it riding on the receiver to me. Maybe not, but it is hard to tell from the pic I would not think that would be a good thing . Mine is a little over an 1/8" above the receiver. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I posted a pic in the picture thred the 308 with the madrone handmade stock. the rear tang needs to be widened out a little on the inside. saiga are thicker metal than other ak's. It took about 10 minutes with a dremmel and cut off disk. then a couple of shallow dimples in the rear sight block for the set screws at the hinge point. there is no need to remove the rear sight. also can still use the iron's without scope on the rail. you will want to find a scope that isnt too long when hinging it up it will hit the rear sight.

vintagedude88 16 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Is there a difference between the AK and the Saiga on how the Beryl rail mounts to the gun. Is the length the same from rear sight leaf to rear tang? Saw this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=180336656232 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I e-mailed the seller and they told me it is all metal construction. The disclaimer on the listing seems odd for this item because, why would anyone use this rail to carry a battery? I think it is a general disclaimer that doesn't apply to this item and that they put it in there so that E-Bay won't delete their listing because E-bay have been known to be somewhat "anti-gun". If it is metal and its a rail, how much more does it have to be to sit on a real gun? Given that, it just might be better than that plastic rail I got from Surefire that is "gun" rated. Anyways, I was wondering if it would fit a Saiga but now I see that the rear hole is slotted slightly to allow for some adjustment so maybe I might try it. If I do, I'll post a report on this thread.

Jpnorris87 3 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Yeah, thats the one thing that I saw could be a problem with that mount....not enough adjustment to fit different rifles. Im looking at the Texas Weapons mount, looks like a damn good mount for the money. There's a lot of info on these mounts if you go to the TWS website and go to the link on ar15. com. Goes thru pretty much the entire manufacturing process of making that mount, ie problems, adjustments, clearances, etc. Gives you a really good idea what you are getting into before you spend the money. And hell, for the price of that cheap mount, try it and let us all know how it turns out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
soulless 0 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) i'm sure the mount from ebay would work just fine. it's actually $60 after shipping.. i might try it too.. Edited April 18, 2009 by soulless Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vintagedude88 16 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Found some more pics of that Ebay rail on AK47.net Here's the link: http://www.ak47.net/forums/topic.html?b=4&...659&page=11 It seems to be a cheap copy of the Krebs rail without the quick release mechanism. Also the pin in which it mounts onto the rear leaf site looks weak. I wonder if you can drill it out and replace it with a stainless pin. Nevertheless the TWS rail looks good for the money. The only thing I don't like about is that it doesn't come with a rear peep sight. That would be another $50 adder to the rail's price. Still better than the Krebs price and better than the DPH rail which doesn't even offer a rear peep. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
