Side mount is best mount. But in your case, I'd probably have gone Ultimak.
Anxious to hear about the zero holding abilities and what not though. As well as heat soak. |

Quote HistoryThat was the other option I was blanking on the name of...I might try one out whenever I get around to picking up one of the WBP pistols...

10-12 years ago before the 3X30 ACOGs specific to 7.62x39 came out, we used .308 3X30 ACOGs on our AK's. I put an Ultimak on my Polytech and it worked fine, took a little getting used to initially, but it worked well.
Later we got Arsenals and they had the side mount, so we switched to side mounts and after Trijicon started making the X39 3X30 ACOG, I moved the .308 units to the M1A's and bought the X39's for the Arsenals. In short, they will work either way. I prefer the side mount rails. The drops are more visible to my eyes there. 300 was the best I got with the old setup with the Polytech and the .308 ACOG upfront. Now it's nothing to get 621 out of the X39 ACOG and the Arsenals. My wife's, my son's and two of mine are set up that way and they all hit at that distance if the shooter does their part. |

I went back and forth with an Aimpoint T1 on the Ultimak and on the RS Regulate, but with a side folder I prefer the Ultimak. Yes it gets hot up front, but if you have a quality optic on the Ultimak you shouldn't have any trouble. I've ran thousands of rounds and run classes, mag dumps, etc, and never had a problem.

side rail gets my vote, but I barely ever use folders even when they are euipped. I like that side rails are light weight, and the weight that is there is closer to the shouder. Plus no heat and return to zero isnt a concern. but thats personal preference. Either works fine with quality components

On my SLR-106FR, I have a top rail that replaced the top cover. My SLR-106U has an Ultimak gas tube. I have Form 1 filed on that, and would rather have the stock fold on either rifle.

I have 4 ultimaks on my ak's, I think thats the best solution..And I've never fried an optic. Aimpoint and primary arms advanced micro.

My C39v2 has a side rail with RS Regulate mounted Primary Arms 3x 7.62x39 prism optic. This is an outstanding value. But as i like to have all my bases covered, i also have an Ultimak rail upfront. Currently, i only have a Solarforce (surefire p1 type) flashlight on an ADM qd mount.
Eventually I will get a micro for up there. But as of right now, i am in a deep love affair with my rifle as it sits. |

http://zenphotos.net/zenphotos/file/Online/SVD/Optics/1P87_PVS14_AK105_Sandman-K_AK74M_762SDN6_Left.jpg And I do have a lot of respect for the Attero. I really don't know why I didn't pick one up when they came out, but a couple years ago I did and love the sh*t out of it http://zenphotos.net/zenphotos/file/Online/svd/optics/74UF_PBS-1_Left03.JPG
I promise I'll be the best adopted son possible! lol love those pictures! AT OP, go with the RS Regulate, you can't go wrong buy once, cry once, the Zenitco is a great route to go with but pricey, there is also the TWS System which is 1/2 the cost for a railed dustcover as well, as a cheaper alternative, but as TX-Zen said Zenitco is a great setup there is a reason the Alpha guys in Russia use it. |

I like the Ultimak setup on my rifle. Like others have posted, I have sent several thousands of rounds through my rifle and haven’t damaged the optic whatsoever. It’s a great option for mounting a red dot and getting fast target acquisition, in my opinion.

I'm with you on this since I have a 106CR I've SBR'd and would love to utilize the folding stock for storage and travel. I've currently got a RS Regulate 301M with a PA Advanced Micro Dot that I just slide on and off as needed. I tried the Ultimak for a while, it works but I had heat issues. Not heat issues with the optic, but that it gets pretty hot on a nice summer day, so make sure to wear gloves or keep your digits away from it when it heata up. Kinda didn't care for the way it upset the balance of the rifle, either.
I'd love to just Zenitco the damn thing, but be prepared to open up your wallet if you want the full setup. (Which you'll need to buy the bottom rail HG since the topcover utilizes it as an attachment point.) Another option is the TWS rail cover, which I honestly may try out myself since Zenitco is a little pricey. |
