Re: Armtac RS-1 Shotgun.....it's a Saiga!!!
Shellshokt, do you have a link to where the hand guard is available from, was there any mods needed for it?shellshokt wrote:So in the end I decided to fit a tubular handguard rather then the Chaos option, Archipovs mag release, enhanced safety lever, oversized bolt handle, typhoon muzzle brake and Vortex crossfire.I plan to fit a left hand charging handle in the future and possibly upgrading the pistol grip to a hogue or similar.
thanks

Gh0st,
I got the handguard from here:
https://ishooter.ru/product/ceve-trubch ... -9992.html
It took just over a week to arrive.
The rear mounting block fitted into the receiver without any issues. All you do is loosen & remove the screw at the front of the magwell on the RS, fit the rear mounting block & tighten up with the new screw provided. The front clamp needed the hairdryer treatment to slip over the barrel. The handguard itself just needed the area where it touches the gas tube widening slightly. I also removed a little of the handguard where the gas tube locking lever sits. Really easy to do. If you want pictures I can post them.

Gh0st, here goes.
These are the bits you get, rear mount, handguard, front clamp & assorted fixing bolts. Remove the original bolt securing the magwell and fit the rear mount. Remove the original front clamp, or as I did grind off the sling mount from both sides. I can return it to almost original configuration if I want.

Something else you may want to consider. I tried to get a quick release pin for the top cover but 4Range wouldn't ship it to the UK. I discovered that a spare antiwalk pin for my 15-22 CMC trigger is a perfect fit. I can now remove the top cover for easier cleaning maintenance.

Hi, its a Custom Arms AK type from www.ishooter.rushellshokt wrote:I like the pistol grip you have on yours Gasman, what make & model is it?
Re: Armtac RS-1 Shotgun.....it's a Saiga!!!
Hi, Just got some parts through from ishooter. Watched a few videos on YouTube but the safety catch doesn’t seem to come off the same way as a saiga or vepr. Anyone have any details on stripping these parts down including the trigger group please?
I ordered the foreend, archipov left hand magazine release, ambi safety lever, new bolt handle and the ishooter grip.
Cheers,
Martin
