Bizzarolibe 5 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) Ok, so I'm exploring new options for a quad-rail handguard for my Saiga 7.62. I like the one on there now (Galil style with tapco rail kit--see pic), but I want more rail space. It's totally unconverted (I'll do it some day, but I don't really see the need to cut a bunch of holes in my gun just so I can move the trigger assembly 1 inch), so I'll need something that is usable with a stock Saiga Sporter. I'm looking for something in the 70 dollar range. Any suggestions?? Thanks, I'm new to this forum, and it's totally awesome!! Ok, for some reason the forum is being gay and I can't upload the pic of my Saiga so here it is: http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e236/Sna...yofSDC10453.jpg Edited April 15, 2009 by Bizzarolibe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lid 0 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 the krebs rail looks nice, wonder ifs its a drop in replacement for saigas. i have not seen it in the conversion pics gallery yet. if it can co-witness thats even better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VladTepes 160 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 from what ive seen krebs rail looks too high to co-witness.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lid 0 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 i see, i wasnt sure if the notch running down the length of the top allowed co-witness i just dont find the ultimak aesthetically pleasing to my eyeball, but at least you can co-witness. I find the the UTG to be unappealing as well as its lack of co-witness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikea4x4 0 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hi new to the site as well. I have one saiga in the safe and two more on order so I haven't started modifing them yet but I kind of like this one. I guess one draw back is it doesn't say it is U.S. made. http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/se...uad-rail/Detail I don't want to change the topic but would someone please tell me what co-witness is???

protected static 19 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Co-witnessing is when your iron sights and optical sights line up on the same plane and you look through both for your sight picture. The logic is that you have your irons right there as a backup should your optics go pear-shaped on you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
