InTTruder 11 Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Particularly with regards to the gas tube, forearm furniture, etc. I don't have side-by-side guns, but I did compare the fit of a Saiga rail system to Catamount. The Catamount is shorter (iirc) between the receiver and the gas block. I don't have a VEPR handy. Have any of you creative smiths looked at this crosswise? The standard AK systems (e.g.: Midwest Industries) are too short between the trunnion and front plate also. And it goes without saying, the 12g barrel doesn't drop into the after-market HG too well. I'm also leery of too much rail/real estate. Who needs a fully segmented quad rail on a suppressive-fire weapon? PS- the Chaos system looks well-designed, but as of yet they only provide it in the Saiga and VEPR configurations. It'd be interesting to have dimensional lists.

InTTruder 11 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 CSS makes a VERY nice rail specifically for the Catamount. I have it on mine. You are correct about spacing, and the tube diameters (barrel and gas) make the yoke inside something like the MI HG a real challenge to modify. I consider the S/A shotgun not an area fire weapon per se. I have the Chaos sights, and the initial shoots fired over the old OEM sights leads me to believe that the F1 is capable of reasonable shotgun accuracy. it is not a precision rifle, however. So-The real estate is like having a turbocharger- there when you need it, and dormant when not. The CSS rail is not a bulky cruciform quad rail, but rather a HG-shaped "sleeve" that slides over the barrel similar in proportion to the OEM HG. I'll get some dimensions when I get it back. It's having final adjustments made following the conversion above. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
