nalioth 405 Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Any Kalashnikov handguard will require you to a) have your Saiga front sight block and gas block pulled and a military lower handguard retainer installed purchase a 'bolt on' retainer from Dinzag Once you do one of the above, it'll work fine.

GregM1 241 Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 i would think going with option b would be a better idea if you dont have access to someone that can pull the equipment easy. after you pay to have it pulled and replaced, its probably near the same to go with the bolt on. And after that, you can change it on your own, if you decide you do not like the handguard you added. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you desire to use a standard Kalashnikov gas tube cover, yes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

K, found a wooden hand-gaurd w/gas tube and cover on gunbroker. another stupid question since I dont have my saiga yet and cannot see... is removing the gas tube the same as removing it on an sks? swivel the lever on the rear sight and then pop the gas tube off?

merdenoms 0 Posted June 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 ...also, what would it take to put on a wooden IMI Galil handgaurd/forend? just the bolt on retainer? or something additional? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
