I picked up a Yugo underfolder a few months back. I would really like to keep it simple. My plan is to change out the crappy plastic handguards for wood. I would like to add a simple light if possible. Are there any mounts out there that would work for this? If I have to go with a quadrail, I will, but it's not my preference.

I have no personal experience with this mount, but it did get a good review on another AK website:  Link





I would mount it further back on the rifle, under the gas tube provided there is room.

That or the Surefire M14 similar bracket.

IMHO only behind the gas block. Yes, you'll see shadow, but not much good happens to groups putting that much close to the muzzle.

Here's what I did, wanted exactly the same thing;  a mounted light without installing a a quad-rail, etc..  I already have a Kobra red dot with the sidemount bracket.  Here's how I did the light:

I mounted it under the gas block, behind where it attaches to the barrel.  I use a Streamlight, mounts up perfectly and is in easy reach of my support hand to turn on/off.  This mount also allowed me to keep my current stock furniture.  It was a perfect find as it has the hole for the cleaning rod.

That link is the same guy I bought mine from.  Plan on spending $50 w/shipping, but IMHO it's well worth the bread.

Good luck,
G

Thanks guys. Those are exactly what I was looking for. My google-fu is weak. I asked a guy at the gun show this weekend and he said nothing like this existed and tried to sell me a quadrail.
