Nice.
 The price is close to the Krebs KCI QUAD except the Samson have more top rail length. The side rails of the Samson is at the center and the Krebs are on a lower area of the handguard. |

I've got a UTG rail for now ...which I hate china gear but from the reports I had to get it. Don't have my AK yet as it's still coming but so far the UTG seems well made. I'm attending an EAG Tac course by Pat Rogers in August and taking my AR w/ my AK as a backup as it is a carbine class but would love to run it through it just to test it out. I just hope the Kreb's and DPH Arms cover rails (Beryl style) aren't too pricey as I would love to get one.
ETA: Samson can you use the iron's w/ this one? It looks like the front of the rail would obstruct the front sight. Also the price while expensive I guess it's right on par w/ all the other rails so I'm not gonna knock it for the price. Wish I could afford a nice rail in that range. |

Yes, the irons are usable. There is a slot down the center. The top rails on production models will be approx .12 inch lower.

Compared to what? |

So how much does that weigh? I'd imagine that it gets pretty toasty after a mag or so?

now Lumpy if you'd read the whole thread you would have saw that I edited one of my other posts above to state that the price was right on par w/ the other top notch rails

Looks like I'll have to bug Norrell's to come out with a "purple aluminum anodizing" color so I can refinish the rest of my gun to match.

Wow- adding a rail would double the value of the homebuilt Romy. Nice looking, but I think I'll just screw a small section of rail to the fore end if I need a rail.

In Mr Samson's defence, his offering has a great deal more rail estate. I'm sure there are guys in Iraq for whom this would be a godsend. (That, and I have every intention of getting one of his fine AR float tubes. I was fingering one today that left a wonderful impression on me. Your products are TOP notch sir.)

It fits a yugo?

It should fit the Yugo. The color representation in the pictures suck. We will get some new pictures up Monday. It really is not purple. This is the same process we use on all of our rails.

Can you also get some pictures of it's installation? I'm interested in seeing how it actually attaches.

Price: I think that price is perfectly in line. I know it is hard to get a product like that made in America and sold at such a fair price.
Color: I don't care if the my hand guard "coordinates" with other accessories. It's a gun. What is the total weight? How does that compare to and UMak top rail and handgaurd rail system? What locks the top portion in position on the lower when assembled? Does the lower clamp only around the rear of the barrel or are there contacts in the front we cannot see? |

One more question...I noticed the 6 oclock rail has the cutout for the underfolder...is one going to be available w/out? Not that I would think you need rail that close to the receiver b/c you wouldn't be able to swap mags w/ a vfg that close but just wondering. thanks.

Our System clamps to the barrel with a universal bracket. The top rail section is held in place with interrupted lugs and a retaining screw. This makes it very solid and secure. The upper rail can also accept our offset rail system. This will be a way for some to mount that Aimpoint really low and just a bit to the left. If there is enough interest we could do some without the cutout at 6 o clock for the underfold.
The Krink versions will have the same mounting system. Just a bit shorter. We are trying to incorporate mounting systems for the most popular variants. Anyone here attending IWA? Stop by and say Hello, We will be there Hall 5 booth 215. With Hogue Europe. Scott Samson |

Sounds like you guys are really workin hard at this.
Do you have any pics of this offset top rail? Sounds interesting. |

The offset rail is in the new picture at the top. Notice the backwards facing Aimpoint mount. There is a hole in the mount to allow for use of Iron sights.

Beryl (it's for Polish AK's) DPH Arms and Kreb's are coming out w/ their own versions. ETA: ALL YOUR SAMSON RAIL POSTS ARE BELONG TO ME ....do I get a discount?

Samson...I really like that top pic w/ the rail. Looks pretty good!!! Kinda reminds me of a three gun setup w/ a variable on top of the AR and a red dot mounted to the side at an angle. |

Will these fit on any AK? What about Interordnances's STG-2000C?
The handguards are different, but ti looks like these mount differently anyway.

Any chance the top rail can be lowered so you can co witness an aimpoint (ala ultimak)? And do you have pics of the rail mounted on a fixed stock ak?

Mr. Samson,
Would you consider lowering the top rail? Or making it an option along with the top-rail pictured? TOITM |

One more question, will removing the top rail result in loss of zero?

scott,
will this fit a milled AK? |
|
|

Posted: 3/11/2007 4:10:12 PM EDT

The rifle pictured is milled, so I would assume the rail fits milled. |

Can we get some answers Samson? Thanks.
I will buy one if offered with the lowest top rail possible. |

Sorry, for the delay. We have been at the IWA show in Germany. This will fit a milled reciever. The top will return to zero.

We will get some pics posted of the mounting system. The mounting brackets will vary depending on mfg'er. The rails will be standard. Call in your orders or email with pics of your rifle with the handguards removed.
Thanks Scott |
