Very nice. Anyone have a link to pics with this mount installed on a rifle with an Aimpoint? I'd love to see the co-witness pics too.

Well son of a bizkit!
That's exactly what I've been waiting on. Now if they can just figure a way to mount a Micro (or copy) in the same position, they'd have the market cornered. I guess I know what I'm gonna do with my Chinese Aimpoint wanna-be when I get the real deal for my AR later. Tex78 |

You could try taking off the ring from the mount, and taking off the Micro mount from the sight and, using the rds mounts base as a template, drill holes in the BP mount and then attach the Micro directly to the side mount.

I just received an email from Kalinka about these. They are designed to center and co-witness an Aimpoint M2/M3 RDS. I have also seen them posted on a few other websites today but haven't seen anything yet on the AK forums here. http://www.kalinkaoptics.com/detail.aspx?ID=929 That looks like just what I need for my Aimpoint M4. smart people at Kalinka

The potential applications of this mount go beyond Aimpoints. I have no intention of using an Aimpoint in the one I have coming.

If I can get a PK-23 to co-witness, that would be fantastic. Even if it doesn't co-witness, it'll still be lower than any side mount out there. We shall see... |

good so far
I was also thinking about having a mount with side ways rails so the optics had nothing below it and the top cover (get low with just enough room to yank the cover for cleaning with the optic still on). http://www.kalinkaoptics.com/detail.aspx?ID=828 just needs the rail bolted to the left |

I really like that. Right now I am running an Ultimak and a H1 Konus knock off. While it works well, I would rather have this setup with a larger viewing area of a M2/3.

I will have to try one of these when they become available again. I was hoping this was what Larue was going to come out with when they were talking about making an AK mount. The Russians better start making this in larger numbers before the Chinese steal the idea and sell them for 1/2 the price!

Mine is in hand. I also had one the first types and followed Belloc's lead on modifying it to center and take a Aimpoint style optic. You can see the original mount pre-mods here: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=2&f=325&t=173865&page=8 I was looking at getting a Primary Arms clone for it since my Strikefire doesn't co-witness even after the mods, but I decided to wait until the new version got here.
It does center well on my WASR10, the MAK90 rail is thinner so it is still slightly off center but better than the stock first version of the mount. Came with two pins that I don't recall my other two Kalinka mounts coming with, looks to be the same pins that are used close to the screws where the rail bracket mets the rest of the mount, but I have no clue what to do with them. One other note is that it has shorter flat head screws to the ring this time instead of longer hex head on the previous mount. I personally prefer the hex head and may switch them out. Like the previous version after the modifications, I still don't have a co-witness with the Strikefire on either rifle. If someone comfirms that it indeed does co-witness with an Aimpoint (or even Priamry Arms clone) and the rear at BSZ setting I'll keep it (I can get a co-witness with the elevation up to 500-600m), if not I'm selling/returning it.

What I have noticed is Larue is selling the Aimpoint M4 with their ARM type lever mount without the Killfire device. For the same price everyone else is selling the Aimpoint M4 with it's own Mil Spec. mount and with the $39 dollar Killfire device included.

Woo-Hoo!! Co-Witness!!!
Got my mount late this afternoon. Nicely made and easy to attach. Photos are with Primary Arms M3 Multi-recticle. It DOES co-witness - although it's at the absolute bottom of the M3 tube. Center is perfect too. This is good enough for me. No more frying optics on an Ultimak. I'll try to get through-the-sight photos tomorrow when the light is better. http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg23/floridaphilxd/AK/tn_Aksiderail2.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg23/floridaphilxd/AK/tn_Aksiderail1.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg23/floridaphilxd/AK/tn_Akmountabove.jpg |

Is the size of the Primary Arms the same as an Aimpoint? If the co-witness is that close to the bottom of the tube of the Primary Arms clone, I want to make sure it will co-witness with an AImpoint.

If I could make a request, when taking a through the tube pic, could you set the rear sight leaf to the battle sight zero (one back from where it is now)? This would put the rear sight just a bit higher in the optic. Thanks. |

I apologize for the quality of these pics, I didn't spend a lot of time taking them.
The PK-23 does co-witness with the rear sight on the battlefield setting, drop the sight to the 100 meter setting and you lose the co-witness. Good enough for me. The mount is centered and solid. I did have to shorten the 2 screws that secure the ring to the mount. They were a tad too long and were protruding into the inside of the ring. They would have left some nice dimples/dents in my PK-23 had I not noticed it before mounting the optic. Minor issue in my mind but something to watch out for. Overall, I am quite satisfied with this mount and may consider getting a second one when they are back in stock at Kalinka.     |

It is a very bottom co-witness. The Ultimak can have a slightly higher one but you are never going to get a middle co-witness on an AK with standard irons. |

They look like the size that go into the pin holes that Liquidmetal have close to the screws that hold the rail bracket to the rest of the mount. But they already have pins in them and then you look at yours and you don't seem to have those holes at all. I'll email Kalinka about it tomorrow if somebody doesn't have an answer.
