kyjoe 0 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 I am looking for a full length original style US made handguard for my saiga .308 and am not having any luck. Everything I find is the quad rail style which I do not need/want. I am looking for something similar to the handguard on this rifle. Anyone know where I can find one? http://centerfiresystems.com/SAI-762HC-CEN.aspx Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kyjoe 0 Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) Thanks, but that is Russian and not for .308 Edited July 14, 2012 by kyjoe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RED333 1,025 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Sorry, I missed the part about US made, just saw original, which is made in the mother country. I dont think any US makers do the original. The one in the pic you posted looks like a mod on the original. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ironhead7544 35 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) TAPCO has a similar setup. Not sure if it will fit the .308. There are some custom AK wood stock makers that could probably make you one to your specs. Edited July 15, 2012 by ironhead7544 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BBQ_Pork 1 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 The Tapco handguard that Cheaper Than Dirt has does show that it has rails on the sides and bottom, but they are not part of the actual handguard, but they are attached seperately. If you want a US made part that's roughly the same shape as the original, and doesn't have rails, this is a cheap and easy way to get there. It will not be mistaken for the original, but it's in the ballpark for basic shape and size. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dont care about that I will make it work and I think the best bet is to find someone selling thiers who is going to a quad type or some other aftermarket forend. maybe EBay? good luck with your hunt and if you find a source let me know.
