I got a Saiga in 7.62, but I hate, hate, hate the cheap handguard that comes with it.
I noticed that the Vepr is basically the same thing (almost) as the Saiga.

Are the front handguards interchangeable with Vepr's and Saiga's??

If so where Could I get a Vepr handguard?

Anyone who knows sound off please.

NO they are NOT interchangeable without some tweaking or Dremel-Fu... It CAN be done... but its not a simple swap out... 032.gif

Not trying to be a smart mouth, but what is so cheap about it in your opinion? I find the plastic to be very flexible and durable. The only thing I don't like about it is the way its attached to the front gas block with just that pin holding it there. My thinking is that it could cause a problem attached that way due to heat issues, other than that I find it very comfortable and ascetically pleasing if you vent it.

It's just sucky! That's all.
There's one on the Russian Saiga homepage that rocks, I wish those were available.

This plastic piece of crap is just flimsy.

Vultite
there are other options that are a simple swap out, like DPH arms or SGM and ect.

This is the one I've been looking for.... from the "Shooting And Tuning Company."
It's for the Saiga rifle (bottom photo)....


Or the one in the top photo one would work also...
