Howdy, Just a lowly old contractor here in Afghanistan. I have a Russian AK47 as one of my rifles. Brought the TDI Picatinny mount kit with me. Having a lot of trouble getting it to fit the top hand guard. It's really, really tight, and I can't seem to get it to rotate once it's on there. Anyone have any suggestions? Also I picked up two Krinks while here, they are Pakistani, and it looks like the top and lower handguards are permanent. No levers or switches to flip...and a pin coming out of the receiver that looks like it holds the top cover on. Any knowledge on these things? Thanks for any help. Pat

For the TDI on the upper, just find a vise to clamp the rear flats of the tube into, wrap a rag around the handguard to reduce the odds of chewing your hand, and crank the sob about hard. Consider lubing the hoops at the end a bit, and the final stability comes from trimming the tabs at the far rear to just ride on the lower handguard. The TDI I have went on the tube fine, but I found 1mm movement at the front of the tube which doubl;es my group size at 100. I may use pliers to snug it, and I may just go to ultimak.com. Not sure about the Paki, but will ask. |
