How come no one has made a good selection of Handguards for the 308 Sa

[evergreenkid29 14]

I have never understood why there are not very many options to choose from for front handguards for our 308 Saigas. Alot of the ones for the Saiga 12 would even look good.What about quadrails??

Using the highly unscientific method of gauging the popularity of each of the guns by comparing the number of topics in their respective forums here on S-12.com, the .308 rifle is a little more than half as popular as the 7.62x39mm and less than one third as popular as the 12 gauge (though this may be biased by nature of this being Saiga-12.com). Considering the .308 is something of an oddball when it comes to barrel dimensions whereas the 7.62, .223, and 5.45 are similar to one another, it might not be an economically sound endeavor to produce .308-specific furniture.

I sent an email into TAPCO asking if they had considered making Dragunov style stock and wood foregrips for the 308. The reply was

 

It has been suggested but our R & D Department has not looked into it yet. I will definitely mention it to them again for future consideration.

I'd defiantly buy dragunov style stocks.
