C-Par 2 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) Well I finally did my conversion and I will probably post pics soon. It is a yankee legal convesion that I did and the gun was painted in FDE. Well I got a Bushnell TRS-25 I would like to mount. Yeah I would like an Aimpoint but this will do for now. Being stupid an used to my old 410 I ordered a UTG mount, but then realized wait a sec, where is my scope mount? Can't believe I never noticed the differences. I was thinking of the CSS mount that replaces the rear sight but I am wondering if special tooling is needed. What do you guys recommend for a good mount for the Bushnell TRS-25. I'm not sure if I trust the zero of something mounted on the dust cover and I don't feel like the hassle of installing a side mount. 2 of my top rail options for around $70 seem to be sold out. I would like something not too expensive but easy to install. Thanks guys. Edited September 5, 2012 by C-Par Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shoot2thrillu 10 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 just bought the cheapest red dot from bass pro for a free 90 day torture test. BUT THE DAMN DOVETAIL DONT FIT MY RAIL so i guess its a 89 day test now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C-Par 2 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 That is definitely the option I am considering. I seen the Choas is 50% off and that supports a US business. I was hoping to do this around $40 but this saiga has no side mount. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

C-Par 2 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Can't use those. I don't have the side scope mount rail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dustindu4 101 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Chaos is pretty much your only option then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rs51085 136 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 the css rail should be your best bet. you can knock out the factory rear dovetail sight with a punch and hammer. its pretty easy to do. the rail will probably just slide in and use some set screws to tighten it up. if you are looking for something cheap and don't have a side rail its either the css mount or a billet top rail that fits on the gas tube but that will need to mounted about the same way. both of these are in stock now at css.

C-Par 2 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I'm almost ready to get the choas rail. Its almost 50%off. I also have the options of later updating the sights to the HK style and possibly co-witnessing. I don't need all the rails but I can just put Flat Dark Earth covers on them and it would go good with my duracoated S12. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_L 6 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Can't use those. I don't have the side scope mount rail. All right, you can work without that.. Ultimak. They are much lighter than Chaos rails and cheaper. But there's a lot of heat so get a good red dot or plenty of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The chaos extended kit is now the same price as the ultimak and has more flexibility. A little more than I need but more flexibility for future projects. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For some reason I had the extended quad rail stuck in my head. That's $220. Good luck and I can't wait to see what the finished project will look like, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lead Poison 2 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Well I finally did my conversion and I will probably post pics soon. It is a yankee legal convesion that I did and the gun was painted in FDE. Well I got a Bushnell TRS-25 I would like to mount. Yeah I would like an Aimpoint but this will do for now. Being stupid an used to my old 410 I ordered a UTG mount, but then realized wait a sec, where is my scope mount? Can't believe I never noticed the differences. I was thinking of the CSS mount that replaces the rear sight but I am wondering if special tooling is needed. What do you guys recommend for a good mount for the Bushnell TRS-25. I'm not sure if I trust the zero of something mounted on the dust cover and I don't feel like the hassle of installing a side mount. 2 of my top rail options for around $70 seem to be sold out. I would like something not too expensive but easy to install. Thanks guys. Why would you want an Aimpoint. The TRS-25 is perfect for the Saiga. Its not precision shooting afterall.

Jon_L 6 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I think he means he would have to tap and drill an actual mount for side mounts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C-Par 2 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Yeah my 410 had the side rail mount but my saiga 12 for some reason never came with one. So unfortunately I had to spend a bit bit more on mounting options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
