I have underfolders... Using one of the dust cover mts with the set screws no longer is the only option...and NOT a good one. They are OK for shooting piss filled beer cans at twenty five feet.. But... Not much else. Go to the top of the thread and scroll down. NOW there is a GOOD option for those of us with underfolding stocks...and a need to put some CQB glass on them.

I have a Kobra that I bought from Kalinka on a SAR3 using that side mount. It's a fairly decent red dot and adequate for the rifle that they are designed for. I bought mine back when they were real cheap.

That .223 round makes a decent plinker in that rifle.

I can see no reason it would be different than other AK's

I have one on my Saiga 308. These mounts are the real deal and return to zero when taken on and off. The only other mount that is worth a shit is the one from KVar and it's about $110. The Texas Weapon Systems one look to have promise though....

That mount you got do you have to take it off to get the top cover off?

Oh, and DINKY, Will you adopt me?

I have a friend who is using one of those horrible dust cover scope mounts on her AK...I showed this to her and she's going to order one.

Yes, you can get the cover on and off with THAT mt. The scope seems to return to zero pretty well when you remove and replace the mount though.
