I don't want a rail that covers the entire gas block like the other model that utg makes. This one is actually perfect. Does anyone know if it will fit?

Unless someone already bit the bullet...only one way to be sure.

I just saw these on DPH Arms and was gonna send them an email asking if it'll work on the Saiga. I really like the look and hope it will I'm asuming they'll answer me over the next couple days, I'll let you know what they say.

Dang I hate this is the only forum I cant respond from my phone for some reason. Yeah sounds great keep me updated!

I just called and they said under no circumstance will it fit on a Saiga 7.62.

You can use it. You just need a bolt on hand guard retainer and you may have to modify your gas tube.

I like the hand rail but not for 85 more dollars and then maybe another 35 for another gas tube. Everything aside thanks for lookin out!

I see 1 pro and 2 big cons with the UTG/Leapers

Pro: its cheap...

Con: Not optic worthy and unproven.

 

MI/Palm rail has many pro's and no cons that I know of

Works with a stock Saiga, has specific versions for Trijicon RMR's + Aimpoint Micros, price on-par with Ultimak + lower HG, Arsenal has been putting them on their rifles for a while now and has anyone heard of any complaints? Oh and co-witness

 

But hey it's your moolah.

ive heard of the Palm rail affecting accuracy since it clamps to tbe barrel and messes with Barrel harmonics but i cannot confirm i opted to get the standard handgaurd on my SGL21

You have a link?

 

I'm still up in the air on optics but I am considering a side rail mount for optics. I'm just looking for something better than what came on it but is not as heavy as the other quad rails.

Also with it being shorter it keeps with the look of an AK with wood just a tactical version. The only thing I would mount to it would be maybe a light or an angled fore grip if it would fit.

 

Thanks for the opinions/options.

Yeah I got an email saying the same thing they did however forward me a link for the correct one. Here is their reply

 

To answer your question, this mount can’t fit Saiga 7.62X39 due to some dimensional differences on handguard section. However, we do offer a very well made quad-rail system for Saiga 7.62x39-(MNT-HGSG39), you’re welcome to browse the link below for more detailed information-

I had a regular ak non saiga specific rail on my saiga before I put wood on it. You can see this rail on my avatar. It will fit a saiga with just an akm gas tube with no need for a LHG retainer. The rail system works with a clamp system. The top rail screws on the lower rail and tightens until secure on the rifle. If I remember correctly the Yugoslav one will be a little bigger in barrel diameter you should go with one that works on regular akm's.

Can you PM or post the link to the rail?

IMHO these are the best deal for Saiga's. It does not need a lower hand guard retainer of any kind and it works with the stock Saiga gas tube.

You get a mount for an optic you can cowitness through and you can mount a light.

 

Of course you get some trade-off's. No QD ability with the optic and the light mount isn't ideal(not as far forward on the rifle as most like) but they both still work.

 

$125 for all that in one package is a steal.

 

While I prefer the Ultimak setup it's much more costly. $90 for the Ultimak, $30 for a cheapish lower HG retainer, $40 for a lower HG, and you're already over the price of the MI/Palm rail. That's low-balling those three prices too.

Yeah I have been keeping that one in mind also.
