Damage Industries is proud to present our new AK-47 Modular Forearm Assembly for only $159.95
Available in Black and Hard Brown (pictured below) 
Fits most AK-47 & AK-74 variants with stamped or milled receivers. Easy installation! Simply replaces standard handguard & gas tube. Instructions & hardware included. Innovative proprietary design does not mount to barrel and provides a solid mounting platform for optics and accessories as rugged as the AK-47 itself. Made in USA using advanced precision manufacturing with Mil-A-8625 Hardcoat Anodized protective finish. Constructed of high-strength aluminum with aerospace alloy gas block insert and heavy duty M4 metric thread fasteners. Adds only 4-6 ounces to weapon depending on type of forearm & gas tube replaced. Optional accessories excluded from weight. Includes: *2 detachable side-mounting Mil-Std 1913 Rails (one features a Quick-Detach swivel socket) which can be mounted in various positions. *8 Mounting screws (4 for handguard & gas tube, 2 for each side rail) *Loc-tite. Coming Soon: *Yugo, VEPR & RPK models. *Additional optic & accessory mounts. Visit http://www.damageindustriesllc.com for more great products! |

Looks good. Can the rail sections be mounted on the gas tube?

Yep! In-line with the gastube or barrel. Both right and left sides, too.

A draco HG would be nice. Unless these fit the Draco already.

a solid looking response to MI's SS rail. I like that it uses the existing barrel parts, so nothing has to be cut off or removed. 1 Hard Brown anodized rail ordered!

I'm liking this, too. Does it work on an AMD-65?

We'll check on the AMD-65 and get back to you.
For clarity, the modular forearm assembly will fit a Saiga, that is to say the current model fits 5.56 and 7.62 Saiga rifles. .308 and shotgun Saiga forearms will be coming soon. |

The gas tube on an AMD65 is shorter than a standard AK, so it is unlikely it will fit.

On the AMD-65... the current version of our AK modular forearm assembly (for sale on our web store) won't fit an AMD-65, but we hear you, and we're going to release that version soon!

I like it, looks very well done.
My only issue is that it looks like the bottom rail cannot be removed? I'm not a fan of lower rails on AK's personally, I think the clean look of a smooth metal bottom would be slick. |

My experience with the MI AK-SS is that, without some sort of heat shield, you'll need some panels on that lower rail so you can hold it comfortably after a few magazines. So, while I agree that the aesthetics are sometimes nicer without that rail, I think it is de facto going to be something you'll need on there. *shrugs*

Hopefully this means that it will not get hot enough to cook a steak on like MI's handguard does. |

Any ideas on price? Looks like something that I might be looking to get.
If you could make the lower part extend to the length of the upper, without cutting the handguard cap, you would definitely be a step up from the MI extended rail. Hint Hint |

Our near-future production plans revolve around the accessories/modularity of our rail. If any variations to length were to happen, it would be after the new year.

My question is this... How hot would the gas tube get and how well would a trijicon RMR handle said heat?

I'd like to see a setup similar to MI's optic specific upper hand guard... Especially an RMR one.

I believe that the Saiga does not have a lower handguard retainer. Will the DI unit work without it or will you need the retainer? |

How about the co-witness? How does this compare to the ultimak in that regard? As far as I know the Ultimak is as low as the come - lower than the US Palm / MI Setup... is this as low as the ultimak?

Thanks for all the questions. More details will emerge soon enough. If the Arsenal 107CR is a standard length, standard barrel diameter AK, then yes.

I don't see how it could get as hot as an Ultimak and the RMRs run fine on that.

I like it but the lower handguard needs to be longer. At least as long as the gas tube.
