vjf915 456 Posted May 9, 2011 Booooo, the rails looked so much nicer!! Actually, it's not that bad. And if you aren't utilizing those bottom 3 rails, it's probably just extra weight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vladtepes 1,060 Posted May 9, 2011 to be honest.. to my surprise via unofficial weighing in hand test.. the ultimak tri rail was not really all that much heavier than the Kvar unit.. but the advantage in handling was significant for me.. the kvar unit is slimmer allowing for an easier hold.. it is also smooth to the receiver making it less likely to snag on things.. and also it is much shorter.. bringing weight in towards the center of the gun.. making it more comfortable for me to hold, use, and point..

vjf915 456 Posted May 10, 2011 no problem they are a good dealer.. I can also vouch for this. I bought almost ALL of the parts for my Saiga from there. I would definitely recommend them. Vlad, did you install a bullet guide? I see you're using a SGM mag. As far as I know, he did not install a bullet guide. He is running Surefire mags made for Saiga, which do not need a bullet guide. If his plan is still the same, he will be installing one once he moves to PA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Metalflames 0 Posted March 22, 2013 I thought this was a new thread but figured I would mention that was the Saiga that caused me to buy my first. It was all thanks to the Ultimak/ aimpoint combo, lines like a sports car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was all thanks to the Ultimak/ aimpoint combo, lines like a sports car. if I am being honest I still miss it at times... the only reason I went to ARs is due to how versatile they are.... I can have a small light carbine carried.... with a longer barreled scoped upper in a pack... giving me a single gun that fills two totally different roles.. AK was fun.. AR just does more for me personally.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
