Specna SA-H22 - The great rail debate

[Hitman555]

Hi all,

Hope you can help, after a lot of googling, email and forum searching - I need some closure!

Usual story, old man joins his kids for some airsoft and finds that he actually enjoys running around like hips are easily replaced and knees just miraculously repair themselves. A few days later he buys something he is completely ignorant of but looks awesome and is apparently "decent."

Picked up a Specna Arms SA-H22 Edge 2.0, which is a great gun but is teaching me a painful lesson about the sizing on rails. Have had shops tell me it is M-LOK / MOE whilst others have said they do not know what it is> Apparently it is Specna's RAHG system according to forums and Reddits.

I have no idea. Just a foregrip would be nice!

Is there anyone out there that has gone through this? I am even open to the idea of buying a whole new handguard if it makes the problem go away - if you can recommend one - PLEASE DO!

Thanks all!

Ah yes, magic knees.

That rail is indeed a copy of the Remington RAHG. There's also ones that are a copy of the Geiselle one that isn't M-Lok either. There are little rail sections that screw onto the holes between the slots or you could change it to an M-Lok rail. Depends how spendy you want to get really.

TM’s suffer the same spacing affliction 

I got round it by cutting off one of the “nubs” on a MOE m-lock stubby foregrip, and then used the one m-lock and one of the threaded holes in the handguard to secure it. Solid!

Ares Honeybadger seems to be the same, nothing I had would fit but I couldn't be bothered buying rails for it at the time, luckily it came with a bottom rail.

Thanks all - super helpful.

I am off to a semi-local shop at the weekend for a consultation on a fix/solution and how to move forward.

Regarding how spendy I want to get, I am eyes open on how the hobby grabs you. In my opinion, it is not a case of what gun do I want to buy. It is a case of which one I want first! Lesson learned on the rails though.

Take the handguard with you...

Problem: too many conflicting rail mount solutions.

Solution: add another rail mount solution.

Well, it is a solid choice of gun, and making do is half the fun of airsoft.  Given that Dave's seems to be drop shipping those rails, I'd be looking at eBay / AliExpress for cheap rail section that specify dimensions, and seeing if they match up to the holes that you have.  A bit of drilling and bodging (or gluing) should see you right.

Nice PA Addiction in the background.

I would just buy the RAHG rail sections from Daves Custom Airsoft - I'm not sure it's worth the hassle of replacing the whole rail.

Good that the people who said 'don't know' were honest.

While there will be the odd person who works in an airsoft shop who really knows their stuff, I'd say they're going to be few and far between frankly, and they're more likely to be the owner who's been around this stuff for 20 years, rather than the 23 year old guy who actually answers the e-mails/stands behind the counter.
