Picked up a UTG Yugo M70 Quad Rail for my PAP. Fit was perfect, I've attached some photos of the install.

The PAP's are coming out of the woodwork! Good job man, there's a few other pap owners on here that i'm certain will appreciate your contributions.

do you think that rail system would fit on a saiga 7.62? i really like the shorter rail system verses the one on the market for the saigas thats alot longer. if you dont mind me asking what did that run ya?

in looking at it you will likely need an AK gas tube and an AK hand guard retainer.. both available from Dinzag.. if you are also converting the rifle just be mindful of 992 compliance.. as it is my understanding that when taking a firearm away from its imported "sporting configuration" 992 guidelines need to be observed even if it is a "low capacity" mag.. if you have a Saiga DO THE TRIGGER RESTORATION (unless you have already).. the factory Saiga FCG is garbage imo...

Carolinashooterssupply.com is selling a bolt on lower handguard retainer for $28.95, less than half the price of Dinzag's. It is superior to Dinzag's round clamp style not only in lower cost, but it's made from an original AKM handguard retainer, so it utilizes the two side locking grooves on the barrel, as well as includes instructions to file the notch in the top of the barrel so that the screw can rotate 180 and achieve a 3-position lock just as a standard AKM retainer provides.

neat.. have not seen that.. i have to be honest i prefer the way the dinzag unit mounts.. never had an issue with it moving on my other rifle.. but nice to see that there is a more affordable option.. good find..

Thanks, I had terrible problems with it sliding right off an x39 I had.

Yep slid off with blue loc-tite, then red loc tite. Didn't stay put until I JB welded the thing to the barrel. The CSS one worked like a charm after filing the small notch for it.

Yes, once you install a handguard retainer and a gas tube, you can use any AK-type furniture, everything from surplus wood, to modern stuff like this.

 

Personally, I think the UTG stuff is on the low end and don't like it very much. I think both the Ultimak and Midwest Industries rails are built better. The Kreb's rail is a little bulky and heavy, though well built, but I don't like the bulk. SGM Tactical also makes a very lightweight polymer tri rail / quad rail setup as well. Not to mention you can fabricate railed furniture yourself for these guns as well like I did.

 

You should really check out Carolinashooterssupply.com. They have pretty much everything, prices are low, and they literally have your stuff shipped to you the same or next business day.

 

If you go for a gas tube, try and get an AK74 or AK100 series gas tube. AK47/AKM gas tubes will work, but the rear ramp of them is a different angle that the Saiga/74/100 ones and you'll need to grind it down to the proper angle. That's not much work either, just when grinding, make sure you go slow and keep trying it, can always remove metal but it's very hard to add.
