KpdPipes 388 Posted January 5, 2013 Mine came without the Side rail for an Optic...is this something that can be added, or is it too much hassle to bother with?? I;ve seen a top rail made by, IIRC Mississippi Autp Arms, but that involves grinding off the front sight post, drilling and tapping, which im NOT equipped to do here at home.. Any thoughts about what my options are if I want to add an optic? (just an RDS nothing fancy) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gonna have to make a trip down to see Paul I guess Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caine 147 Posted January 5, 2013 There's also this crazy contraption http://www.chaosus.c...TITAN_QUAD_RAIL No idea what's involved in installing something like that ETA: more info http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/59950-the-nemesis-for-saiga-12/page-3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rightisright 3 Posted January 5, 2013 http://texasweaponsystems.com/id1.html I don't have one. But the company and the product have a very good reputation. ETA: When you say "fixed sight" do you mean the rear sight is not the standard "leaf type" ? Disregard! I didn't see this was in the Shotgun Forum. My bad!

Turbotezza 1 Posted January 5, 2013 That front sight will probably need to go no matter what you use. Oh BTW, I do have one of those Ultimak top rails for sale. PM me. I ditched that for Chaos USA Titan quad rails. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turbotezza 1 Posted January 5, 2013 Pics. Originally. (Ignore the side rails, they are from the Titan system) Titan quad rail (Top: Saiga, Bottom: VEPR) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M4BGRINGO 139 Posted January 5, 2013 I have something that looks like this one below, except it isn't a quick-release, which I was told doesn't hold zero well. http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Arms-Gear-Weaver-Picatinny-Scope-Sight/dp/B0085E8OP6/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1357420689&sr=8-10&keywords=ak47+sight+rail I have another one on order, but it doesn't have the large cutout like the one above. Using it for my Saiga-12. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chaos has some REALLY nice stuff...but i have other projects that need the money more than the Saiga Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M4BGRINGO 139 Posted January 6, 2013 That piece that is on the side of the receiver, is it riveted on and can you buy just that piece to add to your gun? Amazon has a lot of different stuff listed and one of them shows that piece. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazon has a lot of different stuff listed and one of them shows that piece. I understand it's riveted on..but I was under the impression it was riveted onto the Action Rivets...the ones that hold the whole thing together. Either way I Bought TT's old Ultimak Rail..i'll have Paul install it for me and be GTG with no worries Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
