ImperialArt 29 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I ordered this the other day and probably should have payed more attention. Was wondering if anyone has experience with them, if they require a handguard retainer to install and if the 7.62 would fit the .223. If it doesn't work, I'm not worried, I got it on the cheap and can trade, sell or save for another project. Here's a pic of the one I ordered. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41aA8kdiHkL._SL500_AA300_.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vulcan16 971 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 That will not fit a Saiga withoutma HG retainer. The 762/223/545 HG's are all interchangable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImperialArt 29 Posted June 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Was hoping to avoid the retainer, they are rediculously priced if you ask me. $40 for a piece of metal. Oh well, looks like I will have to pick one up soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ImperialArt 29 Posted June 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'm not looking to do all that just yet. I plan on buying another 223 to do a complete reversion to an AK101. I canceled the order. I'm just looking for a nice pop on quad rail that doesn't require a retainer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
