I used to run an eotech on a MI mount on a Saiga. Loved that setup but it was heavy. Solid and always returned to zero. I have a Huey on an AR and love it more than the eotech. I would not hesitate to put another Holosight on an AK again.

Sureshot Armament Group makes chassis systems. They're a little pricey, but look pretty solid.

I would recommend avoiding the Huey. I had one and the battery life just isn’t worth it. They don’t have clear glass like an EOTech and they have a fairly slow refresh rate. If you want a holographic, get an EOTech. Otherwise, get an Aimpoint or Holosun.

Not everyone has eyes that play nice with simple red dots like aimpoint or holosun. |

Alternatively a Primary Arms prism sight like their cyclops is adjustable to your astigmatism and is usable even with no battery power. It probably weighs less than holographic sights too.

Pan rapidly back and forth while aiming at a wall and you should be able to see it. |

Go back and read my reply then yours and tell me how the above quoted makes any sense. Like I said, some folks work best with red dots and others Holosights. It's all how the light shines into your eyes. |

This guy has one on his AK. You could probably put one on a side rail also. I have EXPS-3s on two of my rifles and have zero time on the Huey.

The UH-1 is an optic on my want to buy list. I will be getting one soon. I may put my Eotech 512 (waiting for it to show up today) on my AK. Maybe one of my Meprolight RDS Pro V2's. The Pro V2 has a crisp green reticle that works really well with my astigmatism.
I'm going to get a MI side rail to mount the optic. I know people are mounting Holosun HE515GM and HS515GM over the gas tube and doing it with no issues. I have a HS515GM but not sure I'll mount it to my AK, maybe, but not sure. I really like optics with a bigger field of view. Now as far as heat goes for mounting an optic over the gas tube, I think the UH-1 would be find and survive that kind of heat. I think the best place to mount an optic on an AK is over the dust cover with a side rail. |

Another thing to consider if you throw it on the gas tube is weight forward. Things felt better balanced with the optic over the dust cover, especially with the weight of a UH-1 or 512. |

I would go with a Gen 2 and I would definitely mount it over the dust cover to try and balance the weight. I love the UH-1 and hope to get one soon. |

Best I can tell the biggest change is the delete of the ability to charge via USB. Once I run this last CR123 down I'm switching to rechargable in my Gen 1. For 95% of us the NV comparability is moot. Gen 2 is barely lighter and little longer. |
