Kayback 0 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 That optic is WAY too high for that stock. If you could get a low mount Aimpoint or a low mount RMR you may be able to do that, but not as it stands. I vote for wood to save that travesty. KBK Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lone Eagle 839 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 anyone wanna buy a quad rail? I'll give you a quarter. My Saiga sports the Arsenal polymer, and the next one will be a more traditional wood. I held an M10 with teh M+M rail, and it was "chunky" even with the rail covers. My hands are more suited for the Bulgy bulge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd have a job as mines actually the SVDS paratroop version with the sidefolding stock, the receiver is different from the fixed stock version.I've still got the black plastic handguards and pistolgrip but prefer the wood versions.

The Handguard weighs 10oz. Fairly light for being very well built. I'll see if i can get a full weight of my rifle sometime this week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
themadhatter196 18 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Wood is beautiful, if you're into aesthetics then go for wood. If you're more of a utilitarian then plastic is what you should have; lighter, and will stand up to more abuse than wood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
psl sniper 963 Posted August 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 so.... im going with wood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breid1970 327 Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Finally ordered a big honking aluminum quad rail. Replacing my tapco tri. Only two steps left. Muzzle break and a NATO length stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
