TheDarkHorse 216 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Go for it. I plan on getting a TWS dogleg for my STG for a similar look. That and the fact that I can increase my site span which is already shorter than most AKM's... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zambidis 90 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) Texas weapon system top cover and a TWS hand guard will get you as much of a flat top AK as is possible. Edited July 14, 2012 by Zambidis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian M1 50 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 That's BEAUTIFUL! But looks like one heavy beast too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zambidis 90 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) It purportedly does not add much weight. A traditional AK hand guard weighs approximately 0.6 pounds. The TWS hand guard is said to weigh 0.8 pounds. Thus there is not a huge weight gain there. It is lighter than the ultimak. I don't know what the difference on the top cover is but it can't be much. In sum, it probably doesn't add as much weight as you think. I like that it covers the gas tube so one can use the type of grip I like with less danger of burning one's thumb and that it lets one move his hand out further. I also like the idea of running some folding BUIS like the troy micros. With a red dot on there you will need a cheek riser. However, I'm not sure that it is worth the cost. You are looking at spending at least $400 for just the handguard and top cover. . An ultimak gas tube will let you add a red dot and a light and that is all you really need. It doesn't let you get your hand out as far to grip the weapon though. Edited July 15, 2012 by Zambidis 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FingerStyleFunk 6 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) I remember seeing those from some other forums, rhymes with fourier spock. Are they finally shipping those to mere mortals now? Also. That is the the most beautiful ak rail I have ever seen. Edited July 17, 2012 by FingerStyleFunk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
