LuPiN8oR 333 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Hi again, im still new here but had some questions regarding front handguard options for a s-308. Id prefer something similar to the original style saiga hg but us made. Since ill have a black polymer thumbhole stock on it i would prefer the front to be black poly as well. The only option i can find that isnt a quad rail type is the tapco hg which id rather not use but will if necessary. Are there any us manufacturers that makes non quad rail original style (ish) handguards? P.s id rather not go the style that uses a hg retainer im probably one of the few who likes the longer saiga handguards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sdustin 578 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I like the look of the stock sporter handguard, but IMO if you go with a wood or regular ak stock then the regular ak hangguard looks better. But that doesn't really matter to answer you question the tapco with all the rails removed looks ok. If you like wood these are super nice but I'd have to get the set. Half way down the page. But it's wood and cost 70 bucks. Then the stock that matches is like 130. So 200 for a stock set, it sure looks pretty though. http://www.weaponeer.net/productcart/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=47 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LuPiN8oR 333 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Wow thats gorgeous! Makes me regret already buying the fiberforce stock. Cant wait for dinzags fcg to get here and get her converted. It'll be my 1st conversion i had a smith do the x39 for me. Hope it goes smoothly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sunset_Va 2 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Look at some Rhinelander stocks or adapt a PSL front forearm which both are wood. Only reason I suggested those is I cannot think of a stock appearing forearm without rails, you could paint the wood stocks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tehcrayz 15 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) I just put a rhineland forearm on mine and it worked required a little fitting, but it the exact same as the weaponeer; it is maple but like half the price.

TxAgSaiga1979 16 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I have 2 saiga 308's, one in each barrel length. Converted the 16" barrel last month, and am getting ready to start working on my 22" barrel. The 16" barrel I put an olive tapco intrafuse forearm (to go along with my olive grip and stock). The big driver for me was finding something appropriate for color matching (I'm a bit OCD). I left the rails off and it actually doesnt look too bad, next to my CAA grip and my Kvar stock. The 22" barrel I plan to do something different, an SVD-style stock (either black horse or choate), similar to whats in your avatar picture. I have the same question in regards to the forearm. I dont really want to go the route of the tapco hardware, I'm actually very interested in the SVD forearm, I've seen pictures of the adapters pieces used to fit them to a S308.
