Recently grabbed the Damage Industries MKIII Railed Forend and worked out a video of the installation and first impression. I am one of those guys that likes to hang all sorts of lights, lasers off of their rifles. That's one of the reasons I was always reluctant to get an AK. Well the AK bug bit me, and since then I have been thinking of what rail to run of my Arsenal SLR-106CR. After researching a few full rail systems I decided to give the DI MKIII Rail a try. Mainly because of it's price point and good looks. So far I am very happy with the decision. Now I can't wait to shoot this thing to see how it holds up against heat.
Some impressions: Overall the forend feels like a tank, goes together very easily and locks up solid! The price point and aesthetics are awesome (this particular rail was purchased on sale for $125) , which is the main reason we decided to give this rail a try. Machined aluminum with Mil-A-8625 Hardcoat Anodized protective finish, and the etched rail numbers are a nice touch too! Fit and finish was on par with similarly priced rails such as Midwest Industries offerings. Make sure you take the opportunity to check out the video too:
