wicat3 1 Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Hey everyone. I want to put an AKM Magpul hand guard on my Saiga. I have read that I need a retainer for this to work. I have also read that you should make sure the retainer is made of the right materials or else the heat from the barrel will warp the clip? I need a bolt on retainer because I dont have access to a press and I think a bolt on will do for my shooter needs. My question is recommendations for the bolt on retainer clip? I have seen some for $20-$110 so im not sure what the best bang for your buck would be. Any help would be great Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dad2142Dad 6,559 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Try Dinzagarms Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Works great for me. http://www.carolinashooterssupply.com/Saiga_Lower_Hand_guard_Bracket_Retainer_AK47_p/css-bracket-ak.htm 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cruising_37 2 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I'd recommend the one from Dinzag Arms. I received mine a few days ago and the installation was really easy, your Saiga is going to look a whole lot better. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scoutjoe 276 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Have a very early Dinzag Arms....never had it budge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mancat 2,368 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Why? The full-length Magpul handguard will go right onto the Saiga, since you have to cut off the retainer to use it on most AKs any way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wicat3 1 Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Do you know if you need a retainer for a midwest industries rail? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dph arms 88 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Here is a link to ours, we made our out of steel. I was concerned with how the heat may affect one made out of aluminum.

semper299 284 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 I have one from DPH and one from Dinzag. Highly recommend either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZenFacade 3 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Why? The full-length Magpul handguard will go right onto the Saiga, since you have to cut off the retainer to use it on most AKs any way. Which MagPul fore end are you using? The long MOE doesn't fit and MagPul said the Zhukov isn't a direct fit. Or am I getting the wrong info right from MagPul? Edited February 2, 2016 by ZenFacade Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zhukov is the long one and is direct fit, except for the top hand guard not present on a saiga 7.62 anyway.... If you use a Magpul AKM hand guard you would use the bolt on retainer and AK gas tube. Got it ? Edited February 25, 2016 by Mr.RMZ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
