briansguns 0 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 (edited) At Halo Manufacturing, we have decided to POSSIBLY maunufacture accessories that have not been avaliable. The first being a Full 4 rail system, similar in look to the "Arms SIR Mount" for the Ar-15. Currently this design is ready to manufacture in 12ga. Either a glass filled nylon or aluminum. Plastic being cheaper, but metal being stronger and more expensive to produce. The current design features a adjustable ghost ring sights. Photo's avaliable soon. We also currently have a design for high cap drum mag. That may be produced in the future. Bassically we wanted to find out what you guys thought prior to production. You can see Halo's current products at "halomfg.com" Thanks! Edited October 20, 2005 by briansguns Link to post Share on other sites
Onepoint 0 Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 I applaud the effort, though I wonder how many will pay the money for a high end rail system. FWIW I voted plastic simply because the weight of SIR system is detrimental to handling, espesially on heavier barreled rifles. Link to post Share on other sites
AegisDei 2 Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 For the S12 however, the more weight you get on it, the less recoil and faster follow-up shot, especially if you can use the weight at the front of the barrel and have a practical application for it (as opposed to just adding extra weight). However, while I imagine $300 to be a fair price, I have to agree that few would spend nearly the same amount on the rail-system as they did their gun. Thus, the plastic seems more tempting, and since others are voting for the lighter weight and lower price, I would have to put my support behind it. Link to post Share on other sites
ForGreatJustice 1 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I would KILL, or at the very least use harsh langauge, for a dedicated Saiga-12 rail system. One capable of true optic mounting is probably unnecessary on a shotgun, even with a laser sighting system. However, of paramount importance would be a metal-to-metal rail interface capable of supporting a vertical foregrip. For a front-heavy, bulky weapon like the S-12, a vertical foregrip does a lot for fast pointing and ergonomics. It's nearly crucial if you have clamped magazines and have to reach around one of them. Bolting a rail into the existing forearm just doesn't cut it. That arrangement will snap off the second a zombie grabs your gun. In fact....how much for your prototype? That's how much I need a real rail handgaurd for my S12. For the S12 however, the more weight you get on it, the less recoil and faster follow-up shot, especially if you can use the weight at the front of the barrel and have a practical application for it (as opposed to just adding extra weight). However, while I imagine $300 to be a fair price, I have to agree that few would spend nearly the same amount on the rail-system as they did their gun.

NoTreason4 0 Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Don't need a rail, but I think you'd find a hell of a lot of people who would want to buy new production drums. Well, just look at the prices the old drums are fetching. Link to post Share on other sites
ForGreatJustice 1 Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 What "Old drums"?! Don't need a rail, but I think you'd find a hell of a lot of people who would want to buy new production drums. Well, just look at the prices the old drums are fetching.

Falcon73 0 Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I would love to see bolt-on metal handguard retainers to fit standard AK handguards on all Saigas, especially the .308. A retainer is already on the market for the little rifles with the Frankenstein psuedo-Galil handguard, but the rest of us are stuck with ugly business like pressing off gasblocks or hacking old retainers. It isn't a high $ item like a quad rail, but it might be a good margin item with decent volume. Falcon73 Link to post Share on other sites
ForGreatJustice 1 Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I thought about using a traditional shotgun magazine clamp between the barrel an the gas tube as a starting point for a handguard retainer... Link to post Share on other sites
