So Im looking at mounting a rather inexpensive but effective red dot on my  Overland Industries Polish AK-47 and was thinking of this.
mount

Yes, I know about the LaRue Irondot and dont get me wrong...I think its a fine product but I dont have that type of cash to throw on a rather inexpensive rifle. Has anyone ever used one of these before? The thing I like about these is that it seems strong and you can use the rear of it as a rear sight just in case your optics screw up.

Any thoughts ideas? I would prefer to mount a aimpoint or cheaper burris type red dot on it.

I haven't used that one, but i have a lever lock AK scope mount with side rail on a Romy AK with a scope and it works just fine. I'm sure you could mount a red dot just as easy on it.

I think i got it here.

for aimpoint mounts, the Ultimak forend rail is the best as it will still co-witness your irons.

I did have a Scout mount on my underfolder. I was using an EOTECH with it but it sat too high. I removed it. See my thread about the Irondot here:My AK
