GONIF 7 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) What's the deal with the Tapco Intrafuse handguard ,GTG or waste of money ? I was thinking of picking up a couple for my Saiga's ,but I'm not sure if they are any good . I was wondering if a verticle grip can be used with them or not . For $41.00 it looks like a cheap way to get a vertivle front mounted . Anyone have any experiance with it ? This would be a very cost effective way to mount a verticle front grip ,if it is any good .

Is this the one you are referring to?? If so, I have had mine on my S12 for over 2 years and it is SOLID as all hell and very reliable. On that note, it comes with polymer rails intended on mounting to the forearm itself. I have a vertical grip on mine and like I said, SOLID and RELIABLE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I love this short fat grip. Very comfortable and lots of surface area and not too long (same one as in my picture) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xbmxxx 5 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I would avoid the tapco 6 position folding front grip. I got it with my handguard and it couldn't handle the recoil and folded every shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TX0303 18 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Can the bottom rail be mounted more forward? Maybe drill new holes if needed? I don't plan on a verticle grip so I would like not to have a rail where I'll be holding the handguard but would like one on bottom for a light. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xbmxxx 5 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I don't see why not. you could probably get away with cutting the rail too. I took my bottom rail completely off for that same reason once I gave up on my foregrip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The_Caged_Bird 474 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I have one, and a folding grip as well (what? it was free) both work wonderfully... The bottom rail fits into a channel that is milled into the bottom of the foregrip. You could probably use one of the shorter rails up front, you'd have to drill your own hole in the foregrip and the rail but there is a hole on the front of the foregrip for adaptation to other versions of Saigas. You have to leave the hole for the screw to hold the grip to the gas block or get a longer screw if you intend to use that hole to hold your rail... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
