geofri 4 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I've been searching the classifieds, and can't find any quality affordable used US furniture. I was wondering if it's common for you fellas to change hand guards often? If a lot of you later upgrade to foregrips with rails and stuff, maybe I'll hold out a little longer in search of something suitable coming along. Only thing I'm worried about is after I make a big deal trying to find something, I'll decide a month later that I need to start attaching stuff and need some picatinny rails, lol! Did you stay "traditional"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tdp378 1 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) You can have the best of both worlds. IMHO AK's look best with wood. I went with Bulgy wood and a TWS rail to mount a red dot. Now there are going to be many people with many different opinions. This is just one.

VladTepes 160 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 kvar hand guard + ultimak rail + aimpoint + offset flashlight mount = any accessory you could need without wasting a bunch of space with a goofy heavy rail full of stuff you are never going to actually use.. IMO of course.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are some nice US wood furniture makers, but they are expensive! kvar hand guard + ultimak rail + aimpoint + offset flashlight mount = any accessory you could need without wasting a bunch of space with a goofy heavy rail full of stuff you are never going to actually use.. IMO of course.. I like it! I do have the urge to get a nice eotech one day.. *I've never actually gripped a quadrail but the thing looks kinda sharp to grab onto!(?)

I had the ultimak lower rail as well.. and while it was exceptional quality.. in the end I felt it was stupid.. while it didn't make the gun all that heavy.. it made it awkward.. the way my gun is currently setup.. it is pretty smooth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
