Its made that way on purpose. It allows room for expansion. Center the Ultimak between the gas block and sight block.

Same thing on my Vepr model, roughly centered but biased a bit forward is what the directions say, do not mount all the way forward or all the way back. AK's are just like that, it's not a sealed gas system, there's loose tolerances all over the rifle, don't worry, it will work just fine.

What they said....I'll be more impressed if you get the screw retainer blocks on without cross threading them a few times.....wait a freaking pain!

Woohoo. Sounds like fun! How am I to make sure that the top of the rail is flat and not tilted to either side?

Curious, why are you using an Ulti-Mak on a 101-S? They have a rail on the side which is a better mounting option (IMO).
Did you already have that set up and not want to buy a side-mount rail or something? |

Three levels: one on the table top, one on the rear sight block (lift up the leaf) and one on the ultimak. It really kind of "free floats" the barrel. Did you read the instructions? It says it's supposed to touch neither the rear sight block nor the gas block. |

The Ultimak is designed to 'float' between the gas block and rear sight block, it's not supposed to touch either.
