I have MI's railed hand guard and it is very solid. Solid enough to mount an optic.....................however I went with the Texas Weapon System railed dust cover because I like my red-dots much farther back and didn't want my T1 Micro to sit out near the muzzle. I use the rails on the MI hand guard for a vert grip and hand stop only.

On an AR I'll always keep my optics on the receiver and not the rail but with my AK I mounted my TRS-25 on my railed handguard and it's held zero fine.
The TWS Dogleg has a pretty good rep on AK rifles so I'd say that's a good option as well. For a small micro red dot I prefer to keep it as far forward as possible so going with a railed handguard or gas tube mount is my preference. Doesn't Ultimak make a railed gas tube for the Minis? This is probably the cleanest mounting solution... |

This will add a little length and direct the muzzle blast forward away from my optics. |

Kind of regretting the mini Draco. I should of went with the regular Draco. It's hard to find decent optics mounting platforms. The MI railed forend is nice, but it makes the iron sights useless, so you have to buy BUIS, if you have enough room to mount them with the optic. Ugh! The Texas dog leg railed dust cover looks nice, but is expensive as hell.
If I want to SBR it, quality adapters to mount stocks are expensive too. Not sure which way I want to proceed with this gun |

Not sure which way I want to proceed with this gun Just keep it stock, as a close up fire from the hip mayhem option -- never know when ya might need to pull it from under your trench coat and off all the skinheads in a small room around the poker table and such.

SLR rifleworks makes a rail for the mini draco that will allow you to cowitness a red dot. Its a little expensive but works great.

I've decided to go with the MI rail and an Aimpoint PRO. Not sure what I'll do for iron back up. There is a slot on the rail to use the irons, but they don't co-witness with the red dot sight. I'll have to look into a QD mount for the PRO. Though the knob is fairly quick. Still a "young" project. |

- OS I don't wear a trench coat and I try to avoid skinheads and other radicals. I do like poker though. Thanks. |
