Okay, I just finished mounting my first red dot on my first AK and thought I'd share some pics of the completed work. The mounting plate is an MPK2, the mount is a BP-02 (both from Tantal) and the optic is a SightMark (remake of the Aimpoint clone, TacPoint, from Talon Arms).

The Sightmark has a 5MOA dot,10 brightness settings, water resistant, and all that good stuff. People have submerged theirs in aquariums for a whole day without malfunctions, and some have taken it into the sandbox for a whole tour without it failing.

The BP-02 is a Belarussian low-rise mount, and it is much more stable than the Ultimak gas-tube rail because it is fixed to the receiver. The mount was secured with screws and loc-tite.

I will be taking it out to the range this coming weekend to sight it in and see how it feels. There is another mod you can do to make the optic sit lower, but I won't get into that until I see how it shoots first.









and some mag porn ;P

that looks like it is sitting pretty high to be the BP-02, looks more like the 01

Yes, it seems to be a bit high, I'm not sure why. The mount is attached as low as possible. I could always cut the rail and re-attach it lower on the mount and maybe try an aimpoint 30mm ring instead of that mount.

How hard was it to add the rail?  I'd like to add one to my Yugo M70.

It's an 02 as the 01 is way tall and lets you see under it for irons.

If you're going to throw in mag porn, you should at least load your drum.  Geez!

Those are a mix of .50cal, SAW, 40mm, and Cabela's dry boxes. Yes, they're all full =)

I see you have both Golden Tiger and Wolf.  I have only used Golden Tiger (and Ulyanovsk Machine Plant ammo for years before that from my stash) - never Wolf.  Is Wolf as good as GT in your Yugo M70?

I have yet to shoot that wolf in my M70. It is 154gr soft point and just came in for my SHTF stash. I've shot WOLF out of my yugo SKS before and like it marginally better than Golden Tiger. GT seems to leave more metallic residue in my gun than Wolf. I think I heard an explanation as to why, but can't really recall.

As far as accuracy, with the SKS it was virtually the same. I will test out the accuracy on Saturday with the new red dot to see how they group compared to the GT.
