Sling loop for s12 with SVD handguard


Recommended Posts

Is it a very fine thread? I am betting a VEPR hand guard screw will fit. They use the same spacer and sling mount.

I strongly suspect it is M5 X .50. The SVD does indeed use very unique parts. Infact it is a different gun based an the AK architecture. I doubt very highly though they are going to develop a unique screw for the sling mount on the handguard sling mount. Chances are they used something common to other variants to save on cost. The VEPR HG screw thread is unique and not commonly available in the US.

They hand guard screw is a standard metric. However the front sight set screw (that continues to allude me) is that super fine m5x 0.5. I think from these conversations, what I need to do is take a standard saiga sling mount, grind off the two indexing nubs on the back side, and find a flat-panhead metric screw.(it is much longer than the one that goes into the bottom of the gas block) The front sight is about to get silver soldered on!!!!! They use some kind of epoxy on the front sight post and the handguard retaining collar, as both are a loos slip fit.

A common problem with this hand guard retainer is stripping the flat head bolt.  Mine did not last long so the machine bolt is not original. I don't know the size but I can find out if you need me too.  I can also just send you one as I have a few extra in my toolbox.

Pay particular attention to the extra material at the bottom of the swivel.  Not sure what comes on a standard Iz-132.  Let me know if you need anything else.  Again, apologies for taking so long...
