I'll be keeping an eye on this. I just ordered your stock & hinge kit for my M92 (my first "AK"). You guys should get some sort of barrel extension/fake suppressor going, and offer us all the whole package. Just a thought. Keep up the good work.

We have had several requests for a barrel extension that can be pinned to give a 16" overall length, and are looking into it.

If y'all do, any idea if it'd be fake-suppressor-style, or would it be something lighter, like, for example, an extended CAR flash hider?

There are a lot of fake suppressors already out there, one thought is to make a hybrid NightBrake/fake supressor. I will post some renderings once we have something sketched up to get some feedback. In point of fact, any feedback on what you would like to see would be appreciated. This is quite honestly a tough product to make look good and so customer feedback is essential to get it where it needs to be. We want everyone to get what they want out of this potential product, so give us a feel for what direction to head. Sven Manticore Arms |

Recognizing that I'm just an n of 1, my preference would be for something that didn't look like a suppressor, and that was relatively light, with an overall appearance like the Rifle Dynamics muzzle. I keep looking at CNC Warrior's 26mm thread adapter plus their extended length Draco muzzle extension, and thinking how ugly that combo will be.
Of course, as you allude to, it may be that a muzzle extension like that for the PAP is just gonna be ugly. [edited to add - this would become a moot point for me if Washington starts allowing SBRs... didn't think it'd happen, but it's passed our Senate and made it into the current House session.] |

Do you think your lower will work when using an ultimak? Or would I have to cut it.

I'm eagerly awaiting the optics mount. Any hints on how it attaches?

Sweet. Standing by with money burning a hole in my pocket. David

Cool, so how close to production and any hint of price and options?
|

I should know the answers to both questions in about 10-15 days, we have to crunch some numbers on both parts and see where we fall, and also see what our schedule looks like.

A couple more pics, one from the top and one showing that you can indeed see the irons through the Fastfire (did my best to line them up, was tricky to do that and get it in focus for the picture! Front sight post is just slightly to the left in the rear notch...) <a href="http://s131.photobucket.com/user/Dawg180/media/opticsmount7WEB.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p296/Dawg180/opticsmount7WEB.jpg</a> <a href="http://s131.photobucket.com/user/Dawg180/media/opticsmount8WEB.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p296/Dawg180/opticsmount8WEB.jpg</a> View Quote Waiting patiently…. |

In for microdot direct-attach version forend and a perm-attach lightweight barrel extension. Looking good.

my m92 is on the way and I ready for this handgrip :) lets get a move on lol.
I also like the flash hider shown above very nice, |

Just out of curiosity, did the first upper piece you had pictured have a gas tube under it? I mean it looks like it's there, connected to the gas block. If so would it be offered as an option? I really prefer the cleaner look of the first piece, if it's not a huge increase in pricing.

I really prefer the cleaner look of the first piece, if it's not a huge increase in pricing. View Quote The first upper piece had our own gas tube design under it. I know it looked a little bit cleaner, but it would likely double or triple the price of the scope mounting top plate assembly- there was a lot of machining involved to make it happen, hence why I revised it to use the existing gas tube. Look at the price of just the Ultimak gas tube, then add a top plate to it, that kind of pricing, and I didn't think that is what people were looking for. Going with the existing gas tube has several advantages, not the least of which is cost. |

Way cool!! I want one of these for my Yugo 92. Any hint of a price yet? Sparksnsuch |

Do most of the mini RDS type sights use common screw and stud spacing?
I have an older Jpoint that I would love to run on one of these. |

View Quote No, unfortunately every mini red dot has a different mounting system. The only two that have the mounting in common is the Aimpoint Micro and the Primary Arms Micro with removable base. |

That's got to make it a bitch for manufacturers. Are you planning on just going with the fastfire template or are you going to offer a range of mounting layouts(probably not cost effective)?
I like the handguard either way and may just end up buying a fastfire if I have to. |

We definitely will be doing the Burris Fastfire, and the AImpoint Micro/Priamry Arms micro top plates and will be starting with those as they are the most popular micro red dots out there. We can do the Leupold Deltapoint and Trjiicon RMR (or any other model of red dot) if there is enough demand. Being that J-points are no longer in production (as far as I know) I don't think we would be doing a top cover for them. Sven Manticore Arms |

I'm in for one.
Off topic question. How does the muzzle flash on the nightbrake compare to the stock m92? |

I think what comes with it is a thread hider; there's no muzzle flash functionality. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Numinor is correct, what a stock M92 has is just a thread protector that's tack welded to the FSB. And I'm really looking forward to seeing what the price point is on this forearm. |

You tube link to what the nightbrake looks like and there are tons more :) just search m92 nightbrake

The nightbrake redirects the giant fireball out of your line of site in a controlled fashion. It makes a huge difference. In fact I would say the nightbrake or something similar is a necessity. |

The NightBrake was design as a brake, specifically so it can be sold to all states, even those that do not allow flash hiders, so we do not rate it for flash.
That being said, any muzzle device is going to be better than a bare muzzle! There are a couple of good videos on Youtube showing comparisons of a bare muzzle Yugo PAP, a NightBrake, etc, etc, here is one that was done recently, it is probably the most thorough one we have seen done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q9eUnBbpoU&feature=youtu.be |

I have always had a side mount on my AK. Just recently, I bought a Pap AK pistol. Would this particular set up have any issues with holding zero? I know that I was always told to stay away from dust cover mounts and forward rail mounts, but they seem to be the only options for AK pistols (except adding a bulky side mount). The most important thing to me is that it holds zero, and I'm just worried that when I have to remove my gas tube to clean it, things may go back together just a smidge differently then they came off. Also, how hard will it be to add a light that hangs kind of forward of the rail (but is still attached to the rail)?
I'd greatly appreciate the clarification. These things look awesome BTW. Good job, I know there's alot to it. I'm excited for them to become available! |

View Quote I wouldn't worry about it too much, Manticore is using existing retaining plates and the factory gas tube, should be tight. Maybe one tenth of a smidge? At that point shooter error would be much greater anyways, especially at the distances m92s are used. But that is my opinion and not fact. Manticore, I am eagerly awaiting your product. Two questions though: You said aftermarket will work. Would that include Impact Weapons Components Mount-n-slot? (for those of use with the magpul furniture on ARs, I believe I read somewhere that yes) And, would you consider in the mid future of offering the handguard in keymod? |
|
There should be no issues with zero, the Yugo PAP gas tube mounting system is inherently pretty sturdy and from what we have tested should allow for holding zero with no issues.
As for a light that hangs out in front, don't worry, we already got that covered- we just haven't shown details yet, it involves a patent that is in the works right now. Yes, both Magpul polymer rail segments and Impact Weapon Component Mount-n-SLot accessories will work on the ARCLight slot system shown on the Renegade forearm. We specifically designed the ARClight slot system that way from the outset to allow a host of accessories on day 1. Due to the chamfer on the inner surface of Keymod slot it is not conducive to molding in a lot of products, including the Renegade forearm. There are already a host of accessories that work on the ARClight and we will be introducing more, so we have no plans to do Keymod on the forearm. |
