I've been laughing so much how differend installing parts is. On your AR: Screw the thing and use bolts. On AK in russia: Hammer this hammer that doesnt fit? Hammer it harder. Fits? Double check it with hammer. Seems like engine repairment of Jeremy Clarkson :D

@Zach_Bloomquist 3 года назад

I have the B-30 on my AK103 clone. It is rather light for its size. Only complaint is that it is sharp so I would recommend adding a handgurard cover to protect your hand. It is a fantastic piece of kit. I waited 3 years to get both the upper and lower handguards as they aren't the easiest thing to get in the US. It easily holds a tactical light and forward grip and is not hot after shooting two full 30 round magazines. Side note: these are a little difficult to install but can be put on with a rubber mallet to tap it into the receiver. Also loctite is your friend.

@ZenitcoinEnglish 3 года назад

Ok, we will do a video. The most common reason for the lever not to close is that the handguard is not hit in enough. It is needed to be hammered in a bit more.

@Phla58 3 года назад

I just received my B21U and am having the same issue. However I also don’t want to damage the receiver by pounding the hand guard in any more than I have.. it seems to be snagging on just the corners of the receiver. I have a KP9 should I just keep smacking it?

I purchased both the lower and upper hand guards for my Saiga 7.61x39. The lower handguard did not fit into the receiver AT ALL (in your video you chose an AK that shows it fitting perfectly into the receiver). I had to hammer the handguard into the receiver. It did not go in perfectly straight as I found out later. I also had trouble with the handguard retainer clip going in...... overall, the handguards do look great, but I can’t put any optics on them because they are not completely straight. I can zero them and shoot only at a that particular distance. For me they are only good for a flashlight, or a forward handle and obviously more real estate for my hand to work with. Plus they do look great. But.... can’t use optics on this rail system.........

@477racing 2 года назад

hopefully you can answer this question: I am having tons of trouble hammering my lower handguard in. The lower handguard retainer is a very tight fit, even without any handguard in - and also, the trunion seems to be interfering with where the handguard goes into the receiver. Is this typical? my ak is a riley defense RAK47. I am debating grinding away a bit of the handguard where its hitting the trunion. As for the lower handguard retainer, it being so tight is making it very difficult to hammer down with the handguard in place. I have seen other videos where it seems to just slip right down with no effort...

@theinterdimensionalchildmo9586 3 года назад

Maybe someone here can answer a question for me. I have a B-30 rail already installed and I definitely got the rail hammered all the way in. I want to install a front sight gas block and I assume to do that the rail will have to be removed so the gas block can be replaced so I have two questions: 1) How difficult will it be to remove the B-30? 2) if I remove the rail will I able to reinstall it snugly?

@ZenitcoinEnglish 3 года назад

1) It is not difficult. You open the lever on handguard retainer. And you hammer the handguard out. You may insert some sort of metal rod in an opening closer to the receiver and hammer it. You may place a spacer on the ledge on the end of the handguard and hammer it. 2) Yes, you’ll be able to do that on the same rifle (it may not on different rifle). It took the shape of your rifle, so it is perfect for it. It will be easier to install it the second time as it is already shaped for your receiver.

Will these Handguards work without the Handguard retainer

@worstcasescenarioch 4 года назад

Hello Zenitco. I was wondering, Izhmash Saiga rifles, notably the MK family (i got an MK 103 myself) got a folding stock safety mechanism that prevents the weapon from firing when the stock is folded, apparently it's mandatory in Russia. Does said mechanism prevents the installation of one of your stock ? Thanks.

@ZenitcoinEnglish 4 года назад

In Russia it is restricted for civilians to shoot with folded stock. We took that into account while designing our stocks. We have 5 types of adapters for stocks. One of them is for civilian saiga. It has a slot so this mechanism could work. Next video will be about stocks, so we will cover that topic! An adapter is in the kit, while making an order the user specifies which one is needed.

Had a question can these handguard uninstalled from a old gun and reinstalled to a different gun ?

@ZenitcoinEnglish 3 года назад

Yes and no. All rifles have slightly different sizes. When you install a handguard, you hammer it into the rifle. The handguard takes the shape of this exact rifle. If the mounting place of the new rifle is bigger than on the previous rifle - it will wobble. If it is the same or smaller - it will be ok. The only way to find out is to try.

@pd5156 2 года назад

Hi guys. Can i use B-30U rail without upper handguard? I mean with the basic AK upper grip and pipe.

@ZenitcoinEnglish 2 года назад

That setup option is not recommended. It is possible, but as far as AK has regular slingmount, B-30U has a groove for it. The power contour is weakened here. It is absolutely ok to use short handguards without upper part. For longer ones we recommend to use them with upper handguards to strengthen this place. So you can use it on its own. But for better reliability use upper part.

@ZenitcoinEnglish 2 года назад

1) Length: Sport-4 is longer than combination of B-30 and B-31. 2) Rails: Sport-4 has Basis rails on 3 sides and lowered Picatinny on top. B-30 has full-size Picatinny on 3 sides. And B-31 has full-size Picatinny on top. However, this option allows lowered Picatinny on top as well, is you use B-31N instead of B-31. 3) In case of Sport-4 lowered handguard consists of two pieces: handguard and front additional attachment. B-30 is a one-piece product.
