Armtac RS-1 Shotgun.....it's a Saiga!!!

Looks like you ground off the front sight as well, is this necessary or did you do it to clean up the profile?

Yes I left feedback on Choas site but don’t worry I only removed front sight as it was well off at the top just where sight starts nothing to do with Choas rail.
I used Tactical-Kit.co.uk for HGSI Battle Belt I’ll list parts below -

HSGI LASER Slotted Sure Grip Padded Belt Multicam Black
HGSI Cobra IDR 1.75" Rigger Belt
HSGI HCM Taco Pouch (High Capacity Magazine) Definitely need for 10Rd mags
HSGI Gear Disc MOLLE, I got these in different orientation for what suited me.
Magpul 7.62

I have just been playing with some kydex and made a hard pouch for the mags. I now have the option of swapping out the clip holders on the belt for the hard pouch using the QLS, dependant on the course of fire.

Ive now got Choas M-Lok rail back on I think there is a 3-6 month wait for this rail at present.

What muzzle brake can any of you recommend for the RS-S1?

[Blackstuff]

Because the RS1 comes with external chokes, which many see as an advantage (being able to tighten/remove them without a choke key) there seems to have been limited take up of muzzle brakes. Due to this people would also have to buy another set of chokes (internal) as well.

I have heard rumblings of a one-man band making a 24" barrel with an integral muzzle brake (its already been done on a handful of UTAS shotguns), but its probably years off where 3rd parties could buy one unfortunately. If I hear anything more on it i'll post here.

Thanks Mark.
Gasman posted a picture of his RS with what appears to be GK style muzzle brake attached. I am going to pm to see if it has been converted to clamp-on or he has had the barrel threaded.
For a clamp-on the typhoon F12 offering seems to be a good option, both shotguns have the same outer diameter barrel.

I have the Typhoon one on, er, my Typhoon! And its a very effective brake

[shellshokt]

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.

Finally got time to fit the leycom armoury's keymod handguard, fiddly job as no instructions, had to grind down gas tube flanges to fit,but looks great now.

[Blackstuff]

Both look much better (to my eye anyway) with a long handguard on
