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

| Other variants coming soon! |

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. |

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? |

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.

What kind of buttstock setup is that? |
| I like it but the lower handguard needs to be longer. At least as long as the gas tube. |
