Designed as part of an integrated system the Gen-3 Hand Guard offers greater levels of functionality, modularity, and durability. The co-planar top rail keeps all accessories such as optics, night vision, or thermal devices properly aligned. For additional functionality the Gen-3 handguard is also M-LOK compatible. Ample ventilation holes assure the quickest cooling and minimize weight.
I'm glad TWS finally did another batch of these because the selection for Saiga 12 handguards are slim nowadays. As most look like they are cheap, Chinese made products or something that was made for an AR15 and modified to work. Needed a little file work to fit but is installed and has a really solid mount.
