Alright Im building an AKS-74 and a polish 47 U/F. I need some optics for the 74, but which is best? I like the kobra but it looks like the cheek weld would have to be kinda high. Is this true?
Which type is "supposed" to go on the AKS-74? any info on the various types of com-blok optics is greatly appreciated...and pics too.

[Kim Jong Il]Man, how hard is it to find the f*cking Optics Forum??!!!?? Me so lonely, so lonely...
Plenty of Kobras were used with 74s in Afghanistan, the 4x24 is a great bargain, and the PO3.5 kicks ass if the extra 1lb and price don't bug you. |

I beleave the PO3.5 have reticles that correspond with the 5.45x39mm balistics.

My brother has this mount for his AK(K-Var), it's a great mount, easy to adjust for tightness and it sits centered over the rifle ... |

I am looking for the proper red dot..
I have been shopping around and checking the specs. I have got some good feed back from the guys here on the board. |

Get a side rail mount for it, the BP-02 should work, if not, IOR makes a picatinny spec side rail mount but it's more expensive. I'm an Aimpoint guy myself. There is nothing wrong with putting a quality modern optic on your AK. |

In order of price..
PK-AV: cheap, rugged, allows the use of irons while mounted Kobra: still relatively cheap, 4 different rets, uses easy to find AA batteries (03M model) does not allow the use of irons while mounted, mount is less rigid then the PK-AV PK-AS: relatively expensive, black dot / red dot (you dont need power to use the optic), allows the use of irons, slightly lower sight line then the kobra Those are the only three i really know anything about. |

I think the Pk-As is what Im leaning towards right now. I looks like it sits kinda high though.  My other thought is to do something a little less conventional and have 48thhighlander (who is going to build my AK's for me) do something like this:  Im just not sure if I want to break away from the "pure form". |

Lots of good info above. Gotta work out your shooting goals first; fast blasting up close, or more pin-point placement farther out? Never lose track of how Clarity helps increase accuracy farther out, and how mag power tends to reduce field of view to make target finding harder.
I prefer the circle/dot combo for fast targeting and accuracy, PK-AS or EOTech. You can also bracket out over a wide range between the dot/circle. Tube sights minimize the parallax from bore to sight, but there is no way to match dot and irons like on an AR. You might look thru the lower part of an Aimpt/Ultimak combo but that's it. If batteries die, the throw lever of a side rail bracket is still good for me. Except for true CQB, something like my Leupold 1.5-5x is IT for anything else in the practical range of an AK. |

I'll mostly just be blasting out to about 150-200yds max.
Anybody know how's the checkweld on the PK-AS? |

Nonexistent. I don't think any Russian optics work with a cheekweld. They are either too high or offset to the left. If you want a cheekweld I think you're going to be better off using a scout type mount. |

Fortunately for a lefty like me, my PK-A (mounts low and left) gives a decent easily repeatable cheek weld, repeatable is important because it isn't parallax free. |
