Saiga handguards on non-Saiga AKs
Will a Saiga handguard fit on a standard AK? I like the Saiga handguard because it's longer than the stock AK handguards, but I can't find much information about whether the two are compatible with each other. If they are not compatible, would Saiga-conversions like the Arsenal rifles still accept the stock Saiga handguard?
The goal is something that gives me more room to grab the rifle and somewhere I can mount a light. I'm not against drilling holes for a light mount, and so far as I can tell Saiga handguards are a lot lighter than AK rails. If this approach is misguided or ill-informed, I'm all ears.
